EMAIL DETAILS

Hunter --

Ever wonder why we send you so many emails asking for
grassroots donations? I know it's a lot -- but let me describe
for you what the alternative looks like:

We just learned that Mitt Romney collected an astounding
$9 million from lobbyists during the last fundraising
quarter, including lobbyists for pharmaceutical companies,
big oil, and one of Switzerland's largest banks.

From the day that Barack Obama decided to run for president
in 2007, he has refused to accept campaign contributions from
special-interest PACs and Washington lobbyists. Instead, he
relies on you to build this campaign -- and is accountable only
to you.

We're in a dead heat with Romney and there's very little time left.
Help make sure ordinary folks decide this election -- not big banks
and oil companies.

As a 2008 supporter, you know what it takes to be part of a grassroots
campaign that wins.

Please make a donation of $25 or more to re-elect Barack Obama today:

When we get into talk of lobbyists, PACs, and super PACs, it's
easy to just want to tune out and give up completely on what
feels like a hopelessly broken political process.

But here's why we can't: Mitt Romney not only accepts big checks
from these lobbyists, but as president he'd hire those same lobbyists
in top-level positions. A report just this week said: "Industry insiders
believe that Mitt Romney will unshackle the revolving door and give
lobbyists a shot at the government jobs their Democratic counterparts
have been denied for the past four years."

We could get the head of the junk food industry as the Secretary
of Health and Human Services. An oil executive as the head of
the Environmental Protection Agency.

I'm damn proud of the fact that President Obama implemented
the strictest rules ever to close the revolving door between
government and special interests and restrict the
money-for-influence machine that too often dominates
Washington.

It was the right thing to do -- and unless we do what we need to
do these next 19 days, we'll see a return to the same old way of
doing business.

This year's election is a test of the idea that ordinary people can
still be the most powerful voice in our democracy. We've come
too far to fail now.

We're counting on 2008 supporters like you to step up again.
Please make a donation to this truly grassroots campaign today:
