Before I go on stage to accept the nomination, there's one thing I need to say: Thank you.

It's because you've got my back that I'm here. And if we win this, it will be because of you, too.

Can you pitch in $X or more right now?

I can't tell you how grateful I am.

Barack

P.S. -- This is my last campaign, and knowing you're with me means everything. I can't do this without you.
