We're getting outspent

For the first time in modern American history, the incumbent that's us will get outspent in a re-election campaign -- by some estimates as much as 3-to-1.

Over the last 10 days of this month alone, GOP outside groups will spend $X million attacking President Obama on TV.

Think about that, then think about what they'll spend over the last 10 days in October.

We have to take this seriously. Four months to go in this election, and we have a huge fundraising deadline coming up in less than a week -- any day we're not chipping away at that disadvantage, we're falling behind.

Please donate $X or more today.

We don't have billionaires writing $X million checks, and right now, we can't change the laws that allow the hijacking of our democracy by private money.

What we do have is more than 2 million donors grassroots giving an average donation of $X. Every day between now and November we can combat the huge spending advantage that our opponent and his allies have over regular people.
