The Democratic Party
-----------------------
Robert --

This week we learned Mitt Romney and the Republican Party
outraised us in May, bringing in $76 million to our $60
million. And that deficit is even worse once you include
the millions of dollars a few wealthy special interests and
billionaires are pouring into super PACs and outside groups.

If you don't want to read any further, I don't blame you.

For anyone wondering how one billionaire can influence an
election, here's a perfect case study: Sheldon Adelson.

This casino owner's spending is a textbook example of the
Republican battle plan. Here are just a couple of his
"investments" this year:

    -- Singlehandedly keeping Newt Gingrich's presidential
bid alive for months by pouring $20 million of his
family's money into a pro-Newt super PAC.

    -- Donating $5 million to Speaker John Boehner's super
PAC, aimed at protecting the GOP majority in the House, and 
targeting vulnerable Democrats.

    -- And just this week, after meeting with Romney last
month, pledging $1 million to a Romney-affiliated super PAC.

They say one person can change the world, but I'm pretty
sure this isn't what they meant.

As Democrats, we aren't counting on wealthy patrons to buy
this election. We rely on millions of Americans stepping up
to grow this organization and provide the resources to open
field offices, organize on the ground, and push back
against Adelson, the Koch brothers, and all the rest of
these billionaires trying to use their money to control our
future.

We're counting on people like you -- and that means we need
everyone to step up if we're going to win.

Let's show what we can do. Donate $3 today to support
