Dear MoveOn member,
Next week, 500 talented organizers will hit the ground in battleground states, and our ambitious $5 million Leave No Voter Behind field program will begin in earnest. We're aiming to turn out over 440,000 unlikely voters for John Kerry in the battleground neighborhoods where it matters most. Polling shows that this race is still neck-and-neck, which means that these hundreds of thousands of voters could easily tip the election. (More on the poll numbers below.)
So far, tens of thousands of MoveOn members have generously given over $2.6 million to make this program happen. But to launch the program, we need to raise the remaining $2.4 million this week. Whether you can give $1,000, $100, or even $10, we need your help today to win back the White House.

We've posted a progress bar on that page so you can watch our progress towards this big goal.
Though you'd never know it from the TV news, a close look at the polls shows that the Republican convention was actually a bust for the President. According to the Gallup polling agency, Bush's bounce was "one of the smallest registered in Gallup polling history, along with Hubert Humphrey's two-point bounce following the 1968 Democratic convention George McGovern's zero-point bounce following the 1972 Democratic convention . . . Bush's bounce is the smallest an incumbent president has received."<1> Bush's speech received slightly worse ratings from voters than John Kerry's, and according to the same Gallup poll, a remarkable 38% of voters said the convention made them less likely to vote for Bush.<2>
The truth is that after hundreds of millions of dollars in negative advertising, after the "Swift Boat Veterans for Bush" attacks, after four nights of prime-time convention TV, and after four years in the bully pulpit of the White House, George Bush is still just neck-and-neck with John Kerry in the race for the Presidency.
When the MoveOn.org Voter Fund polled likely voters in battleground states last week, Kerry was only two percentage points behind George Bush -- within the margin of error, and within reach of victory.<3> Together, we can close that gap by reaching out to millions of these swing-state voters and convincing hundreds of thousands of them to come out for Kerry on November 2nd.
Can you help us get Leave No Voter Behind off the ground?

Karl Rove has taken his best shot. Now it's time for us to take ours.
Sincerely,

Those acid flashbacks happen at the MOST inopportune times!
They could use billions and billions and it still wouldn't help that fraud win..
These people are dillusional. I guess an 11 point lead in most polls is now "neck and neck". This is getting pathetic.
Considering the recent polls it is going to be interesting to see how many folks are going to be willing to throw good money down the Kerry rathole.
Can you spell dry-up?
Do these people live on the same planet that we do? Good Lord, they are dilusional.
Not hardly, I think we are saving the best for last!!
What about all those concerts in the battleground states? Can't the Dixie Ticks and Springsteen bring in $2.6 mil?
Where's George Soros or Thereeeeeeezzza when MORON.org needs them... they can come up with $2.4 without a blink of an eye.
If the idiots at MORON.org are crying poverty, we know sKerry is toast.
dillusional, too.
Talk about pouring good money after bad . . .
I think Karl Rove stole all their girlfriends or something. Yeesh.
Donate $.01 by credit card. It costs them 30 some cents + a percentage to process the contribution. Nte effect a loss to them of at least $.29. If all 100,000 or so freepers did it it would cost them $29,000.
Dontcha just love it.
Delusional? I think they are committing fraud in their fundraising solicitation efforts.
I know this is a stupid question, but...what happens to any left over money in the 527's after the election???
Were the 38 percent that said they were less likely to vote for Bush already diehard Dems? Dear God, talk about oscuring the truth with a lot of verbage and nonsense...
Tell "Meat Head", (Rob Reiner) to put HIS OWN MONEY WHERE IS BIAS IS !!!!!
