You've heard a lot from us this week, so I'll keep this short. The convention was incredible. You're incredible. And we've got the energy we need to win this thing. We had a goal of 600,000 grassroots donations in one week -- and we blew right through it. I almost can't believe it, but we could actually hit 700,000.

Chip in $X before midnight: [url] Even if you've given already this week thank you! , you can still help. Let's hit that goal and show how ready we are for the last 60 days.
