Billion with a "B"

Lewis -- This time last month, we weren't sure when we'd have an opponent. Now we're facing a united group of Republicans and special interests that's coalescing around Mitt Romney. And one multimillion-dollar donor at a time, they're planning to buy the keys to the White House:        -- $500 million from their highest-dollar donors        -- $200 million (at least) from special-interest groups, one of which has already raised more than $80 million from fewer than 100 people        -- All in all, they're ready to spend $1 billion -- whatever it takes to defeat President Obama We're facing our first fundraising deadline of the general election on Monday -- our first chance to show the Republican machine that more than 1.8 million grassroots donors aren't going to let our opponents buy this election. Chip in $3 or more today. If you need extra incentive to pitch in today: You'll be automatically entered for a free trip to Los Angeles to meet President Obama at George Clooney's house. Not a bad perk for supporting the campaign at a critical deadline. If the other side succeeds, we may never even know the names of the people who bought this election -- many of the outside groups are funded by anonymous sources, including corporations. Supporters like you, chipping in what you can, when you can, are how we'll face them down.
