Friend --
Romney and the Republicans announced yesterday that they brought in more than $100 million in June.
For context, that's about what we raised in April and May combined.
We're still tallying our own numbers, but this means their gap is getting wider, and if it continues at this pace, it could cost us the election.
If everyone who's been waiting to give pitches in $3 or more today, we can start reversing this trend in just a few hours.
Please do your part -- make a donation of $3 or more right now.
One hundred million is alarming enough, but it doesn't even include the millions pouring into pro-Romney super PACs -- or the fact that, unlike four years ago, it's perfectly legal for the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Karl Rove, and anonymous billionaires to funnel unlimited money into attacking President Obama in critical battleground states.
I'm proud of the way we build this organization. Through the primaries, more than three-quarters of our donations were from people giving less than $1,000. Meanwhile, in that same period, Mitt Romney's campaign raised three-quarters of its money from people giving $1,000 or more.
If we don't take this seriously now, we risk finding ourselves at a point where there is too much ground to make up.
We need to do something about it. Today.
Please donate $3 or more:

More to come.

Here's a twist Jun 12, 2012
Is that $3 as in “queer as a three dollar bill” because they keep harping on that number.
What is it with Barry and $3 bills? That crap is weird.
I was going to post virtually the same thing.

What happened to asking people for their wedding present money? Did they figure out that people can’t afford to get married in this economy?
apparently it’s the magic donation number to get people to give, ask less and they don’t bother, ask more and they won’t give. because dems are weird.
The’re saving there money to pay the HealthCare tax. Suck it up Obozo!!!
It wasn’t that long ago that Obama BRAGGED that he would be the first candidate to raise $1 Billion dollars. Back when he believed he would out-raise his opponent, the amount of money was looked upon as a badge of honor. Now that he is behind, he and the Dems are whining about how unfair it is that money can help buy elections; and, like the fools they are, their followers echo whatever “The One” feeds them.
‘What happened to asking people for their wedding present money? Did they figure out that people can’t afford to get married in this economy?”
I think it goes back to the fact that many of Obama’s followers don’t actually get married, they merely keep having children and living on the dole.
I read recently that it was a preemptive lie as a scare tactic in an attempt to avoid the reality of his never ending failures in order to dissuade any competition to prevent a threat to his continuing malfeasance.
Quick, someone dial 9-whine-whine!
A pathetic president getting trounced by a pathetic challenger!
Every time he sends out one of these letters people should mail Romney $3.
Dude, we voted for you in ‘08 because you promised to give us free stuff you had taken away from rich white guys. If we give you money then it won’t be free stuff any more, will it? Go find some more rich white guys to hit up and leave us alone.
Don’t worry the MSM will give you a Billion dollars worth of free advertising
And boob Romney and his campaign staff doesn’t know how to spend what he is taking in
And they should mail Messina 3 pennies with a request for a receipt.
I think we should send him one...
[chuckle...]
Funny, isn't it? His entire message throughout his political career has been, "You're a victim! You're helpless! Let your government take care of you! Vote for us, and we'll take the money from the rich and give it to you!"
And now that his supporters have gone into full agreement with that nonsense, he expects them to pay for his re-election? ROTFL
