Dear Friend,

There are few times in life when you have the
opportunity to be part of a historic moment.
Last night, the 250,000th person gave to this
campaign. Think about that for a second -- more people have donated to this
campaign than any campaign in history at this point in an election.
The sheer number of people who own a piece of
this campaign proves that we can change the old game of money-for-influence
politics. Nobody thought we could do this. Nobody thought it was possible.
The window to be part of this moment is closing
in less than 48 hours. At midnight on June 30th, this chapter of history
will be written. Those who participated will look back with pride; everyone
else will look back with astonishment at what was achieved.
Thousands of people stepped up much sooner than
expected and hit this historic mark. We blew past 250,000 donors and now
have one final goal to reach: 350,000 donations from as many people as possible.
We're less than 10,000 donations away, and your
donation will count towards the goal. Please make a donation during these
critical final 48 hours:

Sometimes it's hard to see that history's happening
when you're right in the middle of it. But it's happening right now.
People like you are seizing the moment everywhere
in America.
Here are a few stories from those who have given
in the last 24 hours:
My Name is Michelle. I come from the broken
home that I hear so many people tell me means I am destined to fail. I come
from a family riddled with addiction and heartache, like many of us. I beat
the odds, my sisters are beating the odds, and I believe that this campaign
is the kind of movement that can tell the world that we do not have to settle
for what they tell us, that we can overcome and be a part of something great.
And that is why I am happy to make a contribution to the only political
candidate I have seen in my lifetime who I actually think cares about what
he says.

At age 41, this is the first presidential campaign
that I have been inspired to participate in. I am inspired by Senator Obama's
sincerity, and the grassroots effort of the campaign. I appreciate his
message that changing the direction of this country is not the responsibility
of one man, but the responsibility of all of us. I believe that Senator Obama's
inclusive leadership style will guide people to participate in making this
country/world a better place for all of us to live.

I'm a 56-year-old Grandma and I care about the
direction our country is going in. I believe in the good hearts of each
American and the power of the people if we join together. It's time we
took back our country away from the greed of a few people and the bickering
in our government. We need a voice for the common American, and for jobs
and health care and an answer for our soldiers in this senseless War in Iraq.
I believe it is time to show the country the everyday support the people
have for Senator Obama. I can't afford to give much, but maybe this time
one person can help make a difference. Even if he doesn't have the most
money, Obama has the people behind him.

We have the opportunity right now to cement
this as a moment in time when people like you took back the political process.

There are times in history when people come
together in common purpose to make change.
Once in a generation, what starts with a few
committed souls can grow into a mighty force to upend the status quo.
The stakes couldn't be higher. We have a President
who stubbornly refuses to end a war that has cost us thousands of lives
and billions of dollars. We have a vice president who believes he's completely
above the law. And yesterday, the Supreme Court essentially threw out the
Brown v. Board of Education ruling.
For the next 48 hours, we have a chance to define
ourselves and our movement as a force for serious change and a new kind
of politics.
Blocking our path are cynicism, doubt and the
belief that our political process can be bought and sold.
But if each of us takes responsibility for this
moment, we can do it. Now is the time to be counted.
Too many people just let history happen -- but
right now you can make history happen:

This moment will be a defining one.
Thank you,
