I have amazing news, and it's all because of what people like you have done for this campaign.

Last month, we surpassed 10 million donations in 2012
alone. We made history. And we raised $181 million during
the month of September. I don't think I have to tell you
how huge that number is. 

The more important tally, though, is the number of 
grassroots donors who came together last month to chip in 
what they can to help grow this campaign and our party's 
grassroots organization: more than 1.8 million Americans -- 
567,044 of whom were first-time donors -- giving an average 
donation of just $53. And 98% of the donations were $250 
and under.

Day in and day out, folks are out there getting the
President's back. It's that commitment that gives him --
and everybody who works for this campaign -- the confidence
and inspiration to get back at it every single day. And
we're all going to do the best we can over the next 31 days to
honor that support.

But this election isn't over. You've stood with the President -- 
but according to our records associated with this email 
address, you haven't donated to this campaign yet. With just 
one month left, what's holding you back?

Chip in $5 or more now so we can finish strong:

We're building this campaign the right way, from the
grassroots up. Laurie, a factory worker in Iowa, perfectly
captured the spirit of our campaign: "I plan to make
another donation, probably several. I actually love that
you can make a six-dollar donation. Six bucks? Come on,
that's a burger or some coffee."

What makes our campaign so strong is that people like
Laurie are giving what they can when they can, because they
know that every donation counts, no matter how big or small.

Our opponents don't have that. They're relying on
distortions, negativity, and outside groups to win this
election.

In the debate, Romney showed just how far he was willing to
deviate from the truth in order to win. Outside groups are
flooding the airwaves with negative ads trashing President
Obama and everything we've accomplished together in the
past four years.

Over the course of next week alone, these groups are
planning an unprecedented negative ad blitz in battleground
states across the country.

That's why it's so critical that we don't get complacent. I
know I've asked a lot of you these past few months, but
that's only because this is extraordinarily important.

Donate $5 or more now so we can keep our guy -- the right
guy -- in the Oval Office:

More soon,
