Hunter --

News broke last night that the Romney organization 
raised $111 million in August, and we raised $114 
million.

Many people counted us out and said we'd never be 
able to top them again -- you proved them wrong. 
Thank you.

We also learned that they spent more than $129 million 
in August -- $18 million more than they raised. That money 
largely goes not to grassroots offices or organizers, but to 
an advertising assault on Barack Obama that their own 
campaign describes as "carpet-bombing."

These kinds of overwhelming numbers confirm the grim 
reality that the cash advantage they built up since April 
means they can continue to outspend us even as we 
close the fundraising gap in the final two months of this 
election.

I am personally counting on you to keep this thing as 
close as we can.

Give $25 or more today to keep Barack Obama in the game:

Thanks for everything. So proud of this campaign.
