Quick Update …


Midnight Tonight. That’s our final deadline to respond to John Boehner’s $50 million pledge in attack ads to try and put Republicans back in charge of Congress and make himself Speaker.

We just finished our strategy call with Paul Begala and one of our top pollsters. They laid out the clear path to beating back the Republicans in these final weeks. As Paul said on the call, “Right now, it’s real. Don’t walk off the field, stay and fight.” And, then Paul made a personal call to action to raise additional funds before tonight’s FEC deadline.

Between our own pledge of $49 million and President Obama’s goal of an additional $1 million to close the gap, we are now just $8,424 away from beating John Boehner on this deadline. But there’s just a few hours left.

Contribute $5, $10 or more to President Obama’s $1 million grassroots goal before Midnight Tonight and your contribution will be matched 2-to-1 by a group of committed Democrats.

The world is watching tonight’s fundraising totals. If we beat them, it will prove that we can go toe-to-toe with Boehner and his swift-boat shadow groups all the way to November. If not, their lies might have to go unanswered in these final weeks. We can’t let that happen.

With just $8,424 left to go, your contribution could be the one that puts us over the top!

P.S. We just finished our strategy call with Paul Begala and one of our top pollsters. They are confident we can succeed but only if we have enough grassroots support. With just a few hours left, we’re only $8,424 away from our goal. Put us over the top before Midnight Tonight and your contribution will be matched 2-to-1 by a group of committed Democrats.
