If you've opened an email from us in the last few months, you know that the single most important thing we need to do as a campaign is close the fundraising gap versus Romney and the Republicans.
Guess what: We just did it for the first time. We raised $114 million in August to their $111 million.
Even better: 1,170,878 people donated to Barack Obama in August. That makes 3,142,457 people overall since the beginning of the campaign. The average donation for August was just $58.31.
No celebrating, because Romney and the Republicans are going to have an even bigger September.
But now we know we can match the secret bundlers and big contributions with ordinary people chipping in whatever they can afford.
So let's go, go, go. Give $15 or more right now:

This is surreal -- so proud of all of you.
More soon,
