Meet Joe Biden…
Dear Supporter,
John McCain and the Republican National Committee are trying to convince you that you’ve been swept up and tricked into wanting change.They want you to believe that everything is just fine — that we need to stay the course and elect someone who’s voted with George Bush 95% of the time.
To sell this ridiculous idea, McCain and the RNC are using huge checks from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs to run negative ads attacking Barack Obama and the millions of volunteers and donors who have joined this campaign for change.
While supporters like you are out knocking on doors, registering new voters, and organizing in your local communities, our opponents are not even trying to match your efforts. Instead, they’re spending millions to spread the smear that Barack is just a “celebrity” and that our grassroots movement is just a bunch of mindless fans.
So who is John McCain really attacking? Real people like Brandon, a carpenter from McCall, ID. Stephanie, a registered nurse from Phoenix, AZ. And Pamela, a retired teacher from Franklin, WV.
These are actual people who have made donations to our campaign this week.
Your donation will help this movement reach a goal that few believed was possible — 2,000,000 individual supporters owning a piece of this campaign.
And if you make a donation right now, a previous donor — a real person like Brandon, Stephanie, or Pamela — is standing by to match your gift. They are prepared to give again if you take the next step and make your first donation today.
You can even choose to exchange a personal note with them about why you’re supporting this movement.
Double your impact by making a matched donation of $5 or more now.
Two million donors is an incredible number — a number that was previously unimaginable for presidential campaigns. And it’s a number this campaign never dreamed we could reach before the convention.
But because so many supporters have stepped up to own a piece of this movement in the face of McCain’s attacks, we are just days away from making history.
And with only 85 days until the election, we can’t afford to do any less.
Make a matching donation of $5 or more today and help reach this historic goal.
McCain is trying to undermine your hope, and we can expect even more misleading attack ads in the weeks ahead. His friends in Big Oil and other special interests are more than happy to keep fueling his efforts with huge checks. They want to keep Washington just the way it is.
Today, you can show John McCain that his attacks won’t slow us down. In fact, his attacks will make us even more determined to build and strengthen this movement.
Thank you for building this movement for change,
David
