Dear Donald Trump

Obama - Biden
Robert Bruce --

Here's my message for Donald Trump, who's been hitting the TV circuit with questions about where President Obama was born:

You're inspiring thousands of grassroots supporters to chip in every time you go on TV.

Can you believe Romney is happy to have this guy on his team?

Please cosign my note to "The Donald" by making a grassroots donation right now, before our midnight deadline:

Thank you,

Really, thanks.

Robert Bruce --

Here's the deal:

We've got a huge fundraising deadline coming up in just a few hours, and we need your help to hit it out of the park.

Here's why it matters: This race may well be the toughest Barack or I have ever been through.

In the past few weeks alone, we've seen the lengths our opponents are willing to go to take on the President -- and the amount of money they're willing to spend along the way. Just yesterday we learned that shadowy conservative groups are planning to spend $1 billion to tear us down.

It's despicable -- but it's not going to stop anytime soon. We've got a real fight on our hands, and only five months to get the boots on the ground we need to win.

Here's how you can help:

Really, thanks.

In the clutch

Robert Bruce --

Think about this: Today, our opponent is facing the same fundraising deadline we are.

But the people I'm counting on at this crucial moment could not be more different.

He's relying on high-powered special-interest groups and a TV personality who's spent the last week questioning where I was born.

Our campaign is built by millions of ordinary Americans chipping in what they can, when they can.

Will you help out before midnight? Make a donation of $3 or more right now:

Thank you, as always.

Tomorrow night

Friend --

Time truly flies during a campaign.

It'll be November before we know it, and we've got so much to do before then -- so many voters to register and doors to knock.

We're also already coming up on the end of another month, and another reporting deadline tomorrow night.

We have to bring on as many organizers as we can this summer to mobilize communities for Barack. What you pitch in before tomorrow's deadline will help decide how many more people we can hire.

I know how much it means to Barack that you have his back -- can you give $3 or more before tomorrow night?

https://donate.barackobama.com/May-Deadline

Thank you so much for all your support.

Thursday: Come to the team meeting in Norfolk

Obama - Biden
Friend --

Mitt Romney has all but locked up the Republican nomination, and it's time to gear up.

Together, we've been building a strong grassroots organization, but this is the moment to take the next step -- starting with a team meeting in Norfolk this Thursday, May 31st.

We're getting together to talk about what's at stake in this election and plan for the months ahead. November 6th will be here before we know it, so I hope you'll step up now.

Can you make it? Here are the details:

What: Team meeting in Norfolk

Where: Mary D. Petlow Anchor Branch Library
111 W. Ocean View Avenue
Norfolk, VA 23503

When: Thursday, May 31st
6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

RSVP now

Folks like you have done amazing work here in Virginia and across the country. Volunteers have had more than 1 million conversations with voters -- on the phone and face to face -- about protecting the progress we've made.

We've spent more than a year building the largest grassroots organization in American history, bigger even than in 2008. And we've done it state by state, neighborhood by neighborhood, person by person. We've got field offices and a presence on the ground in all 50 states, including offices across Virginia.

Mitt Romney runs a different kind of campaign. While we've been steadily growing at the grassroots level, he's been pouring money into negative ads. As Romney turns his attention to the general election, he and his allies are taking over the airwaves in key states like ours to try to tear down the President and other Democrats.

We have the edge in the ground game. That's why it's so important we build our grassroots strength right now.

So if you've been waiting to get involved, this is the perfect time to join fellow supporters in Norfolk -- and if you're a veteran volunteer, you already know why it's important to pitch in now.

Come to the team meeting this Thursday in Norfolk:

Your tipsheet: A "spending inferno?"

Truth Team
Friend --

Have you heard one of Mitt Romney's most outlandish attacks on the President? "Since President Obama assumed office three years ago, federal spending has accelerated at a pace without precedent in recent history." Strong words that might be an effective criticism of the President, were it not for one small issue:

It's completely and utterly untrue.

The Wall Street Journal's Market Watch ran a report this week titled, "Obama spending binge never happened," which showed that federal spending is actually rising at the slowest pace since Dwight Eisenhower was president. At the same time, we've made strategic investments in the things we need to build an economy meant to last, like education, innovation, and clean energy. But that hasn't stopped Romney and his Republican allies from using ridiculous and laughable terms -- like "spending inferno" -- to describe the President's fiscal management.

Mitt Romney's general disregard for the truth is why you all are so important to this campaign. So many Truth Team members have told me: You give us the facts to get the President's back, and we'll get it done.

So check out the chart and make sure your friends see it, too:

Obama spending binge never happened,

Important as this chart is, it's not the only item I wanted to make sure you saw this week. Check them out.

Romney Economics
Mitt Romney's record as a corporate buyout specialist is under examination. The decisions he made at Bain Capital -- loading companies with debt, sometimes to the point of bankruptcy, but walking away with millions in profit -- show that his values in the White House would have a devastating impact on America's middle class.

Romney is running on what he says is his record of creating "over 100,000 jobs" in the private sector -- a claim that doesn't stand up to any scrutiny. Regardless, Romney's mission in the private sector wasn't to create jobs -- it was to maximize profits for his investors. As President Obama explained this week, that's not what the president of the United States has to do. Take a look for yourself, then pass it on.

Romney on education
Mitt Romney made some more ridiculous claims and assertions this week, this time on education policy. He even had the nerve to tell a group of educators that: "It's not the classroom size that's driving the success of those school systems."

President Obama and Romney's education policies and records speak for themselves. Check out our blog post and let others know about the stark differences between the two on this issue:

Fact-checking Romney's new ad
Romney released a new TV ad this week that made more empty promises about what he'd do on the first day of his presidency. He said he'd reduce the deficit, but he'd actually add $5 trillion to it. He said he'd "stand up to China," but his record says otherwise. I could go on. Take a look at our blog post, and let others know about the reality behind Romney's latest promises:

Share on Facebook    Share on Twitter    Share via Email   
Last: If you receive a robocall, chain email, or piece of mail about Barack Obama that you just know is not true, can you let us know? We've created a new tool on the Truth Team site that makes it easy to report an attack. Help us catch these smears before they have a chance to spread too far.

Thanks,

Stephanie

Host an organizer in Virginia

Obama - Biden
Friend --

This summer, hundreds of field organizers and volunteers will join our organization here in Virginia to register voters and talk to our friends and neighbors about what's at stake in this election.

Some of these organizers will be new to the Commonwealth, and a lot of them will come on short notice. They'll uproot their lives because they know the stakes in this election, and they know how important it is for us to win Virginia this November. I know that you do, too, so I'm asking for your help -- although not in the usual way.

If you have an extra bedroom or a foldout couch, would you be willing to host a supporter for the summer? If you don't have the space right now, please forward this email to friends who might.

I know this is a big favor to ask, but as someone who has stayed with supporters before, I can tell you that it means a lot to the folks you host, and it will make a real difference as we build our grassroots organization here in Virginia.

If you can, you should sign up today to host an organizer or volunteer. We'll be in touch soon with the details:

Thank you, and stay tuned.

I don't care which you choose

Obama - Biden
Friend --

If you're wondering why we have so many contests to meet President Obama, I'll be honest.

Yeah, it's partly because they're really popular.

But it's also because we don't accept any money from Washington lobbyists or corporate-interest groups -- not a dime. We don't want them owning any piece of this campaign or expecting any special consideration.

So Barack Obama has only you. And the feedback from people like you is that they like chipping in a few dollars at a time -- and if there's a chance to meet President Obama as a result, all the better.

What do you say? Right now you have some pretty cool options, each with a deadline approaching. While there's still a spot for you:

1) Enter to meet President Obama and President Clinton for an evening on the town in New York City.

2) Throw your name in to join President Obama and the First Lady at Sarah Jessica Parker's house in New York.

Of course, you can always enter both.

I don't really care what you choose. As someone who oversees the campaign budget, I appreciate it anytime someone makes a donation in the first place. Believe me when I say it helps.

Donate to automatically enter "An Evening with Two Presidents" (airfare and hotel covered):
