Insurmountable?

Diane -- The headlines are talking about how you and I got beat again by the other side in fundraising. Those headlines aren't going away. I will be outspent in this election. And we will not win the ad wars on TV and radio -- right now, the other side is outspending us on TV by at least 2-to-1 in most battleground states. And that's OK. But only if we're able to keep the spending gap close enough so that our investments in a truly grassroots campaign pay off. I believe in that model, and I'm betting that you do, too. It's moments like these that I need you to act on that belief. Can you make a donation of $3 or more today? https://donate.barackobama.com/Keep-It-Close Thank you, Barack P.S. -- To say thanks for all you're doing for me and for this campaign, we're inviting a couple grassroots supporters -- and their guests -- to New York for a special event with some basketball greats.
