Serious deadline

Friend -- The critical September 30th fundraising deadline is the primary focus of the campaign for the next week and a half, but two things happened this week that you ought to be proud of: -- President Obama laid out the Buffett Rule: a proposal to help bring down our deficit by asking millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share in taxes. It's a position that more than 70 percent of Americans agree with, but something that too many millionaire politicians don't have the guts to propose. -- "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" officially became history. It's done. That's something that we'll tell our kids about -- and this President helped finally do it. What happens in the next week and a half is up to you. The deadline we face in nine days is serious. It's the official FEC filing deadline, and it's not arbitrary -- it's built into our campaign's budget plan. It will determine what kinds of resources we can commit to which states as we expand our ground game. Right now, you have a chance to affect what that picture looks like. Pitch in $3 or more to help get where we need to go by the deadline: https://donate.barackobama.com/September-Deadline Our President is out there doing great things. And right now, it's on us to get his back by showing the strength of the organization behind him.
