This will be blunt:
Seth --
This isn't hyperbole or exaggeration:
If we don't win this election, it will be because we didn't close the spending gap when we could.
Because right now we're seeing that voters have a choice between two very different men.
And the only way someone like Mitt Romney -- who's asking Americans to put him in charge of their taxes while refusing to come clean about his own, who wants to repeal Obamacare, end Medicare as we know it and give more tax breaks to billionaires who don't need them -- defeats someone like Barack Obama, is if the other side spends us into oblivion.
Tomorrow is the most urgent fundraising deadline of this campaign so far. Will you make a donation of $3 or more today to make sure we can keep this close over the last 100 days?
It's already starting on TVs and radios in swing states, and it's not going to stop.
In the last two weeks of this month, Romney and his allies had an almost 2:1 spending advantage in Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Virginia -- and that could be the election right there.
We've got more than 2.4 million grassroots donors building this the right way.
But we're running out of time to close the money gap when it really matters.
Please donate $3 today, and help make sure our message can get through to as many voters as Mitt Romney's does:

Barack and I honestly wish we could thank everyone who contributes to this campaign personally. You're our second family, you know.
Thanks,
Joe
Mr. Vice-President,
This, too, will be blunt.
It is offensive to me that you put financing this coming election on my shoulders. I will do my duty and talk about my political views, get out and vote, and push others to do the same. I'm working my ass off over here. Two jobs to help keep my family clothed, fed, housed, educated and all else. If I had money left over after that, I'd consider giving it to you. But I'd also consider giving it to other organizations who likely need it far more than you do, especially if you lose this election.
Your job, besides helping steer this great country, is to make yourself electable. Or, as it may be, re-electable. Do not insinuate that if YOU lose this election, it is because I didn't open my wallet. Get out there and tell us why we need to re-elect you and the President. Win over our hearts. Win over our votes.
I am a loyal supporter. But your message makes me feel more like an offended supporter.
Seth Mukai
