Donna, you're amazing

Michelle Obama info@barackobama.com
to me

Donna, thank you for an amazing week.

Barack and I felt your energy up there.

But we can't let that energy fade -- because in just 60 days, voters will decide who gets to serve in the White House for the next four years. So every single one of us has got to pull together to finish strong.

I know you feel the urgency: Already this week, supporters like you have made more than 500,000 grassroots donations to build this campaign -- thank you so much for being one of those people. If you're still fired up, let's keep it going -- let's see how many more donations we can get by the end of the day.

Please consider chipping in $3 again today.

Because you've saved your payment 


information, your donation will go 


through immediately:







Barack's got something that the other side doesn't: more than 3 million grassroots supporters like you -- and together we're going to win this election the right way.

If you can give again today, it will make a big impact in the final stage of this race. And on November 7th, you can wake knowing that you did everything you could to help us deliver on the full promise of the next four years.

Make this our biggest week yet, and give $3 right now to win this election in the final two months:

What Paul Ryan said

Jim Messina, BarackObama.com
to me
D. --

If you've seen any coverage of Paul Ryan's speech in Tampa, you know that the consensus among journalists and independent observers is that it was ... factually challenged.

He lied about Medicare. He lied about the Recovery Act. He lied about the deficit and debt. He even dishonestly attacked Barack Obama for the closing of a GM plant in his hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin -- a plant that closed in December 2008 under George W. Bush. He also failed to offer one constructive idea about what he would do to move the country forward.

Don't roll your eyes. We can't just groan and shrug and remark to our like-minded friends that this is ridiculous, because this is a significant moment in this campaign.

The fact that this speech, on this huge stage, is this blatantly false represents a huge bet by the Romney campaign -- they've decided that facts, truth and reality will not be a brake on their campaign message. And they just signaled to the extremist billionaires and corporate interests that support them that they should go ahead and spend their hundreds of millions of dollars attacking Barack Obama with whatever lies can work.

The only thing that can beat this back is you.

More soon.

If the President loses...

David Axelrod
to me
D. --

Judging from the number of times they've said it this week, you would think repealing Obamacare on Day One is the most urgent goal of the Republican Party and number one reason to elect Mitt Romney.

I'd like to know what's noble about making it harder for people to get health care.

President Obama refused to give up on this legislation because he knew it was about real people -- people like his own mother who, in her final days, battled cancer and the insurance company, or my daughter Lauren, whose intractable epilepsy, at just seven months old, nearly bankrupted our family and burdened her with a pre-existing condition that threatened her future coverage.

Today, there are millions of families like ours who won't have to suffer through needless heartache over situations beyond their control.

If the President loses, Republicans are guaranteeing those protections will be gone with him.

You can make sure that doesn't happen. Donate $3 or more before this Friday's critical FEC deadline.

When the Supreme Court affirmed the Affordable Care Act, I was moved to tears. This week, the Republicans are moving a lot of people to act as well -- to make sure they can't take their destructive platform to the White House.

The next time you hear someone at the Republican convention attack Obamacare, remember what they're actually trying to take away:

Thanks for standing with the President.

Pay close attention

Stephanie Cutter, BarackObama.com

to me
D. --

The New York Times called it "mean-spirited," "aggressive," and "intolerant."

They're referring to the Republican Party platform. And surprise, surprise: The Los Angeles Times reported that it was "written at the direction of Romney's campaign."

On national television this week, we'll be hearing a different story, as the Republicans try to convince voters that the Romney-Ryan ticket is on the side of the middle class.

It's on us to make sure the millions of Americans who are just tuning into this election for the first time don't buy it.

Help fight back against the distortions and straight-up lies coming out of Tampa by donating $3 or more right now.

Because you've saved your payment information, your donation will go through immediately -- and get put right to work building this campaign in the time we've got left:

Here's just a snapshot of what Mitt Romney's platform calls for:

    -- Turn Medicare into a voucher program to buy private insurance, forcing seniors to pay more out of pocket for their health care costs.
    -- Outlaw all abortions without exception for rape or incest (including a "salute" to states like Virginia that have passed extreme ultrasound laws).
    -- Ban marriage equality and reject civil unions of all kinds.
    -- Won't protect the mortgage interest deduction for middle-class families if Romney enacts his tax plan, even though it helps more than 30 million middle-class families.
    -- Kill investments in clean energy jobs and reject the wind production tax credit, which would cost up to 37,000 American jobs.

"Intolerant" and "mean-spirited" sounds about right to me.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are in lockstep with this platform, but pay close attention to what they're saying up on that stage this week -- I guarantee you won't hear a whole lot about any of that.

Instead, they're filling their free airtime with false promises and baseless attacks on President Obama. We can't let them get away with it.
Fight back:

What they won't mention

Jim Messina, BarackObama.com
to me
D. --

Republicans are taking the podium at their convention today, and millions of people will start paying attention to this race for the first time.

The message they'll hear will mirror the distortions Governor Romney has based his entire campaign on -- amplified 10,000 times.
They're going to talk about the economy, but they won't mention that their $5 trillion plan gives big tax breaks to people who don't need them. They won't mention their plan to turn Medicare into a voucher system that could cost seniors up to $6,400 more per year. They'll talk a lot about strengthening the middle class, when their plan is to do the opposite: repeal Obamacare, cut Pell Grant scholarships and Head Start funding, and raise taxes on the average family.
Donate $3 or more today and make sure we have the resources we need to fight back.

Because you've saved your payment information, your donation will go through immediately:


There are very real and important differences between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, and we're going to keep pointing them out. But we've been outraised three months in a row, and now we're getting outspent on the air by as much as three to one in some battleground states.

The other side is banking on their TV ads to be louder than any organizer we've got on the phones and on folks' doorsteps.

That's what we're fighting this week.

We need to be ready. Make a donation of $3 or more today:

https://donate.barackobama.com/This-Week

This week is going to remind us all that we're on the team that fights for everyone, not just those at the top. We're the campaign that's having an honest debate about the issues that matter to American families.

Thanks.

Cashing in on Paul Ryan

Julianna Smoot, BarackObama.com
to me
D. --

Today, just 72 hours after joining the GOP ticket, Paul Ryan is making a pilgrimage to the Sands' Venetian casino in Las Vegas to kiss the ring of Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino magnate who's already donated more than $35 million to Republican groups in this election.

That's the same Sheldon Adelson who gave $15 million to help Newt Gingrich against Mitt Romney in the primary, and said he may give $100 million -- basically, whatever it costs -- to defeat Barack Obama.

We're starting to get a glimpse of how Romney plans to cash in on his vice presidential pick. Before Ryan's even been fully introduced to the American people, he's attending a private fundraiser in Vegas with the top super PAC donor.

We're doing this differently, with ordinary people chipping in whatever they can afford -- but it's going to take a lot more of us to match them. Will you donate $3 or more today?

Defend our President

Julianna Smoot, BarackObama.com

   to me
D. --

We're not just getting outraised -- we're also getting outspent. Mitt Romney and his allies are flooding the airwaves in battleground states with negative ads trashing President Obama. Take a look at what we're up against, then donate to help fight back and defend our president.


Thanks,

Julianna
