I don't usually write emails
 | |
| Diane -- I'm the chief of staff at OFA, which means I'm constantly looking at our operations budget -- what I don't usually do is write you emails. But I'll do whatever it takes to make sure staff and volunteers have everything they need to keep the organization running full-steam ahead. Right now, that means asking you to chip in $5 or more before our critical September 30th fundraising deadline. I'll let you in on something: We have a pretty ambitious plan for the coming months. We've run the numbers, and we need about 25,000 grassroots donations between now and midnight on September 30th. I think we can make it happen. If you break that down by congressional district, that means we need just 73 more donations from VA-01 before Monday night. Here's why this matters: In the fights we're in, the cards are stacked against us -- the special-interest groups have unbelievable budgets. Think about the Koch brothers, who are on a personal mission to tear down Obamacare. Or the gun lobby, which fought tooth and nail against common-sense gun violence prevention measures. We'll never have the cash they do -- but when we've got grassroots supporters like you putting action behind their support, we don't need to go dollar-for-dollar. Really. Help reach our goal, person by person. Chip in $5 or more today: https://donate.barackobama.com/September-2013-Deadline Thanks, Grant Grant Campbell Chief of Staff Organizing for Action P.S. -- Here's a little bonus: When you donate $5 or more before Monday's deadline, you'll be recognized on the OFA Donor Wall on BarackObama.com. Get your name on there today. ---------------- The other side will spend millions to maintain the status quo. We're fighting for change -- chip in $5 or more to support OFA today. | |
