Naresh --




After all Barack has done in office, and after all you have done to build this campaign, we can't afford to watch everything slip away on Election Night.



But the other side has outraised us -- our opponents have $45 million more than we do for the final stretch. And none of us has ever seen what a barrage of money like that will do.



That's why we need to do everything we can in these last days, and why we need you to join in the effort.



And, until tomorrow night, any donation you make will automatically enter you to meet Barack on Election Night and have a front-row seat for his speech.



Please make a donation of $5 or whatever you can today -- don't wait any longer.



We can either give it our all in these final days, or wake up on November 7th wishing we had done a little more.



Don't wait. Supporting this campaign once more will move us closer to victory -- and enter you to win a trip to Chicago to join Barack on Election Night:

Thanks,



Michelle



P.S. -- This is the final contest of this campaign. You really shouldn't miss this opportunity to get a front-row seat for Barack's speech on Election Night. Donate whatever you can right now, to make sure we finish this campaign strong.

Obama - Biden
We're being seriously outraised, Naresh.

As of last week, Mitt Romney and the Republicans had $45 million more to spend than our side.

That puts us at an alarming disadvantage in a close race with just 9 days to go. Please help close the gap today.

We have more than 4 million people who own a piece of this campaign, and the other side wants to straight-up buy this election from under our feet with a few big checks, and flood the airwaves with negative ads that distort the President's record and attack his character outright.

I know it can be aggravating. Believe me. But we have to stay focused.

Look, we knew this onslaught of spending was coming, and that's why we're here day after day asking you to help drive us forward. Now it's time for you to step up and join the team.

We need to fight this now, Naresh -- and, for that to happen, I need you to do your part, or we risk losing everything we've built and invested in:
