Just a little bit more...

[FLyellowdog]

I just donated a little bit more to the Obama website...earlier posts have hinted that we might need more money. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Hope you can find some loose change laying around so that we can keep this dream growing. Do what you can, if you can. :grouphug:

1. I did too too- after I found this in my inbox.

********* --

I'm the Chief Financial Officer for Barack Obama's campaign. I track the donations coming in and the expenses going out.

I asked for the opportunity to write to you directly so that I could try to explain what's happening right now.

This organization has thousands of employees and spends millions of dollars a day -- and at the moment we're doing it without a safety net.

Our spending plans have been stretched by John McCain's negative attacks and the overwhelming resources of the Republican National Committee.

As of October 15th, John McCain and the RNC together had nearly $20 million more in cash than the combined total of Obama for America and the DNC. And just this week, we're facing new and unexpected spending against us in Montana and West Virginia.

Your incredible generosity has gotten us this far. But right now we need your help more than ever to get this campaign across the finish line.

Please donate $25 or whatever you can afford right now:

*****donate through DU*****

My team and I are working to stretch every dollar in order to keep as many paths to victory open as possible. But we need whatever help you can provide for this crucial final stretch.

Thank you,

MM

2. This email got me last night:

tammy --

The next 6 days are going to be the toughest we've seen, and I need your support to reach as many voters as possible.

Will you donate $25 or more today to strengthen this movement for the final push?

This campaign is in your hands.

Thank you for everything you're doing,

Barack





(it's in our hands....wow.)
