Hunter --

I want to set the record straight on one thing before 
our fundraising deadline on Saturday:

You may have heard chatter from the other side about 
the President's so-called "billion-dollar war chest." 
When they say that, they're intentionally doing two 
things:

1.) Because they know that kind of sum turns people 
off from politics, they're misleading you. We do not 
and will not have a billion-dollar war chest.
 
2.) They're trying to make you think your support 
doesn't matter to the President. What kind of difference 
does $5 or $25 make to a billion-dollar campaign?
 
Here's the truth: $5 and $25 donations have powered 
this organization from the start. And we measure our 
success not by how many dollars we raise, but by how 
many people are inspired to own a piece of this 
campaign.

Will you make a donation of $165 or more today?

It's not the amount of money we'll raise that scares them.

In fact, if the current flow of interest-group cash to our 
opponents holds up, there's a real possibility we will be 
outspent by the other side in 2012.

No, they want to discredit you and our campaign because 
they know you can't put a price tag on the strength of our 
grassroots support -- more than a million individual donors 
so far in 2011.

Heading into 2012, I want us to be proud of that fact and 
what we've accomplished.

But we're not nearly done. Donate $165 or more today:
