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

Sheldon Adelson recently donated $10 million of his personal 
fortune to a super PAC supporting Mitt Romney's campaign, 
making him the biggest single donor to a candidate-specific 
super PAC and biggest donor to outside spending groups in 
the history of the United States.

Three upsetting things I want to say about this before I tell you 
that we shouldn't get upset:

    -- He's said that he's willing to go as high as $100 million to defeat 
    Barack Obama.
    -- This kind of money could change the outcome of an election.
    -- For Sheldon Adelson, who's worth more than $20 billion, 
    this donation is about the equivalent of $40 to a middle-class family.

This isn't the way our country should work. Electing someone president 
of the United States should be a decision that we make as a nation. The 
outcome shouldn't be affected by one, or even several, extraordinarily wealthy men.

Sheldon Adelson knows this is wrong, too:

"I'm against very wealthy people attempting to or influencing elections," he said. 
"But as long as it's doable I'm going to do it."

Unless we stop him. Because we absolutely can stop him.

We have more supporters on the ground, more energy and more voices. We 
just need to make sure that everyone gets involved, no one's left behind, and 
we don't let this election -- or any election across the country -- come down to 
just a few wealthy guys.

Can you donate $3 or more today to support President Obama and Democrats?

For us, it's not about the amount of your donation. Because when you 
donate, you'll be joined by thousands of other Democrats, pitching in 
what they can when they can.

And that's how we'll win.

And Sheldon Adelson will still be able to buy us all a drink.

Thanks,

Hildy
