I'm asking you to dig deep, John:

We just found out that Mitt Romney and the Republicans outraised us in the first half of this month, putting us $45 million behind during these crucial final days.

The math here is pretty simple: With that cash advantage, they can outspend us by $4 million per day, every day, for the final 11 days.

We know what that means -- more and more misleading, negative ads trashing the President, you, me, and everything we've accomplished together over the past four years.

And we know what we have to do. It's time for you to get on board.

Close the gap -- chip in $5 or more now.

After a year and a half of building and fighting and getting ready for Election Day, we cannot allow ourselves to be outdone at the very end.

On November 7th, when this campaign is behind us, you'll be glad you stepped up now.

Here's the good news: Any donation you make today automatically enters you for a free trip to Chicago where you'll meet the President and have front-row tickets to his speech on Election Night.

Don't wait any longer. Please make a donation right now:

More soon,

It's incredible, friend, but it's true.

We could be outspent in this race.

Even though we've built a grassroots movement that is undeniably bigger than Ken Cuccinelli's, my opponent is breaking out the 2012 Tea Party playbook. And it could work this time.

In the past two weeks, three right-wing Super PACs have announced six-figure ad buys to smear me. That's on top of the $6.8 million the RGA has already spent against us. And with new polls showing that this race is still neck-and-neck, our response to their attacks in the next few weeks is absolutely critical.

We need to raise $200,000 towards our Rapid Response Fund before the end of the month to keep up with these Tea Party Super PACs. Will you donate $5 right now and get us started?

One of the three Super PACs is funded by Joe Ricketts — you might remember he dropped at least $12 million of his own money to attack President Obama last year.

And you've certainly heard of Citizens United — the group who ushered in the Super PAC era in the first place.

But you probably haven't heard of the third group, called Fight For Tomorrow. This brand new group was created, it seems, with the sole intent of propping up Ken Cuccinelli and attacking us.

And these three groups are just from the last two weeks. Who knows which other groups of Tea Party donors will decide they want in on the action next week?

But while they may be able to outspend us, we still have momentum on our side. And if people like you keep supporting me like you have so far, we'll win this thing.

Donate $5 right now to help me keep pace and reach my September Rapid Response Fund Goal.

Cuccinelli's using the same playbook the Tea Party did last year, but I've got the same one Democrats used to great success in Virginia and across the country: the grassroots support of friends like you.

Thanks,
Terry
