Hey --
When our supporters in Iowa walk into their local caucuses two weeks
from today, they won't only be representing me.
They'll be representing you and every other supporter of this
movement for change.
Let's show them just how many of us are behind them.
Here's our historic goal for
the home stretch: 500,000 people owning a piece of this campaign by January
3rd -- more people than have ever donated to a presidential campaign before
the voting begins.
This milestone will be a clear signal to those who rely on
donations from Washington lobbyists and spending from outside special interests
to support their campaigns that we are a movement of people who stand for
real change.
Time is running out to be part of history. But right now one
of the 454,236 people who have donated to our campaign is waiting to match
your first online donation.
Make your donation of $25 now and your impact will be doubled
during these final days before the voting begins:

It's more important than ever to take action.
Right now groups supporting Hillary Clinton and John Edwards
are flooding Iowa and the other early states with millions of dollars in
paid ads, phone calls, and mailings.
Some of it is negative and even deceptive, and a lot of it
is paid for by huge, unregulated contributions from special interests.
Taking on these groups isn't just a matter of setting the
record straight about me or my positions.
It's about proving that a new kind of campaign -- funded
by ordinary people who want something better for all of us -- can defeat
the same tired, old political textbook that so many Americans just don't
trust anymore.

In exactly two weeks, Iowa will begin a succession of contests
that culminates in almost two dozen states voting at once on February 5th.
The presence and influence of these outside groups is only
going to grow as the campaign moves into more battlegrounds.
It's going to be intense, but with a movement owned by half
a million people, we can take the fight to them and win.
Our time is now.
Barack
