Our final quarterly fundraising deadline is here.

Our most critical deadline yet

The Anon Guy (The Anon Guy) — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 02:17:00 +0000

Friend,

At midnight on Sunday, we will hit our most important fundraising deadline to date.

Now more than ever, we need your help during this final stretch.

Paul and I have been able to travel to every corner of America -- from student union cafeterias and kitchen tables to boardrooms and factory break rooms.

Your donation will help us continue to carry our message across America –- and every dollar raised will help us secure a victory on November 6.

Because of supporters like you, we've been able to build a record-breaking ground operation. With the help of nearly 73,000 volunteers, we've contacted 26 million voters and identified over 2 million swing voters.

That means we've made 6 times more phone calls and knocked on 16 times more doors than the entire 2008 campaign.

You've made it more than a campaign -- you've made it a nationwide movement.

But to defeat the Obama machine, we need your sustained support to help us carry out our absentee ballot and Early Vote turnout programs.

Your support will help us continue to close the gap the Obama campaign has. We've already closed the $100 million advantage the Obama campaign once had to just $37 million.

We know that these are tough times and that you're sacrificing a lot to invest in our cause. Make no mistake: This is more than just an investment in our campaign -- this is an investment in America's future.

Donate $25 or more by midnight on Sunday to help Paul and me, and conservatives across the country win on November 6.

America can't afford four more years of Barack Obama -- and with your help, we won't have to.

Help us deliver a real recovery -- donate today: www.mittforpresident.com.

Thanks,

Mitt Romney

Bill Clinton says "Good morning"

I hope you'll pay attention, because this is important.

We're facing a big FEC fundraising deadline -- after this, there's only one more before Election Day.

Here's why that matters: Your donation will go further now than it will next week. That's because it will immediately be put to use -- if your $5 (for example) goes toward hiring an organizer in Akron, Ohio, she'll have more time to do her job and reach more voters. And that's how elections are won.

I hope you'll donate $5 or more before the September fundraising deadline:

https://donate.barackobama.com/Deadline-September

Thanks for everything you do.

P.S. -- If you donate $5 or whatever you can today, you and a guest will be automatically entered to fly out to meet President Obama and me on the campaign trail.

Alexis Madill

Marketing Coordinator

Gov. Gary Johnson

Hi,

It's exciting to be hearing Governor Johnson's radio ads on the air! I wanted to make sure you saw this email a couple of days ago from Ron Nielson, Gov. Johnson's senior campaign advisor.

Sincerely

Alexis Madill

"I heard two Gary Johnson radio ads today!"

"I'm jealous, my husband heard one of Gov. Johnson's radio spots."

Friends,

These are the kinds of messages we want to hear – and we're hearing them!

Thanks to your financial support, more and more voters every day are hearing Gov. Johnson's message over the airwaves on their way to work or during their favorite talk show. And those radio ads are having a very real effect. The crowds at Governor Johnson's events are growing, our phones are ringing more than ever, and in key states across the country, his poll numbers are gaining.

With only 42 days left before Election Day and many voters already beginning to receive their ballots in the mail, the American people are beginning to really focus on the choice they have to make in the Presidential Election – and the polls continue to show that a great many of them are not very comfortable with either the Democrat Obama or the Republican Romney.

That's why our advertising is so critical right now, and why we must keep it on the air. You can do just that by going to www.garyjohnson2012.com today and making a contribution that will buy one, two, three or more radio spots in a key swing state or on a popular talk show. We are on the air today because of those contributions, and we must stay on the air.

As the other side of the globe erupts in anti-American protests and violence – voters are looking for a candidate who pledges to bring our troops and our dollars home. As the Fed pumps more devalued dollars into an economy already stimulated to death, voters are looking for a candidate who will turn off the printing presses and protect our dollars from becoming worthless.

And as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney flood the airwaves with negative attacks on one another, Americans are looking for a candidate who is worried about their jobs – not just getting a job for himself. That candidate is Gov. Johnson, and our challenge is to make sure those voters know it!

That is precisely what your contribution at www.garyjohnson2012.com will do.

The Republicans and Democrats are doing their best to silence Gov. Johnson. They know voters will respond when they learn of his record, his plans, and his vision of an America where Liberty is safe. That's why they are still working to keep him off the ballot, and why they are determined to keep him out of their debates. But we have you, and thousands like you across the country, who won't let that happen.

42 days. That is how much time we have. Let's make it count, and that begins with having the funds we must have to keep Gov. Johnson on the air, the yard signs going up in neighborhoods, and the bumper stickers going on cars. Please go to www.garyjohnson2012.com today and keep us on a path to make history in November.

Your support has brought us a very long way. The next few weeks will be exciting, challenging – and historic.

Thank you,

Ron Nielson

Senior Advisor

Gov. Gary Johnson

P.S. Governor Johnson is halfway through his nationwide tour of college campuses. Everywhere he goes, young people are signing up to help. Your contribution will help us reach out to even more of them! Go to www.garyjohnson2012.com.

You've stood with President Obama. You deserve this. There's just one more step to take.

Friend --

I want to thank you for all you're doing for this campaign.

If we get to continue this work, it's going to be because of you.

Next week I'm meeting up with President Clinton on the campaign trail, and we both want to thank you in person.

Donate $5 or whatever you can today to be automatically entered to fly out to join us.

This Sunday is the biggest fundraising deadline of this campaign so far.

There's no billionaire donor or lobbyist waiting around to write a $10 million check.

How you respond right now determines if we move into the final stretch of this election with the resources we need, ready to close this out, or if we're struggling to keep up with the other side.

And that's the way it's been from the beginning.

If we had listened to the pundits and the critics and the powers that be inside Washington whenever they tried to stand in our way, we would have given up a long time ago.

You've played a valuable role in moving this campaign forward -- now, I hope you'll help make sure we finish September stronger than we've ever been. Donate $5 or whatever you can today:

https://donate.barackobama.com/Meet-Us-on-the-Trail

Thanks,

Barack

P.S. -- If there's one person who knows how hard we need to fight in these final weeks, it's President Clinton. I'm grateful he'll be joining me on the trail. You should be there, too.

Gov. Johnson In the News: "I Like Gary Johnson" --John Stossel

The Anon Guy (The Anon Guy) — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 02:26:00 +0000

Gary Johnson is Hosting another AMA on Reddit!

Due to popular demand, Gov. Johnson will host his third AMA on Reddit this Wednesday, September 26th at 11:00 am EDT!

Reddit.com is a popular social news website where users submit articles, images, and other content. Other users then vote the submission "up" or "down", which is used to rank the post and determine its position on the site's pages and front page.

A popular feature on Reddit is "IAmA" ("I am a... ") and "AMA" ("ask me anything"). Celebrities, politicians, and other notable people - such as President Obama, Jimmy Kimmel, Ron Paul, Stephen Colbert, and Neil Degrasse Tyson - answer questions from the Reddit community during the AMA. Gov. Johnson hosted an AMA a few weeks ago, and received nearly 10,000 questions!

More information on Gov. Johnson's AMA will be available on September 26th at http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA.

Libertarian candidate calls for withdrawing from Middle East

September 18, 2012

Los Angeles Times

By Colby Itkowitz

Little-known presidential candidate Gary Johnson gave an answer that would create a media firestorm if delivered by Barack Obama or Mitt Romney: the United States should get out of the Middle East.

Johnson, a Libertarian who is on 47 state ballots and fighting petition challenges in the other three, including Pennsylvania, suggested that the U.S. presence in the Middle East is abetting unrest in the region.

I Like Gary Johnson

September 19, 2012

The Patriot Post

By John Stossel

All political candidates call themselves freedom-lovers, but they are not. Neither major party really opposes government control of the economy or of our personal lives. I'm a libertarian because I see the false choice offered by political left and right: Democrats talk about personal liberty; Republicans talk about economic freedom. But what they do once in power belies their words.

I say we're best off if government just leaves us alone to our peaceful cooperation with whomever we please. Let politicians advocate moral behavior. Let them give to charities. But leave government -- which is physical force -- out of it.

Gary Johnson: 'These people are let down by the two-party system'

September 20, 2012

The Guardian

By Ed Pilkington

Amid all the flip-flopping and dissembling of the 2012 election, it comes as a bit of a shock to hear one of the presidential candidates say that his interest in politics stemmed from the first time he smoked dope. But then there is much about Gary Johnson, the Libertarian party's nominee for the White House, that is strikingly out of the mould.

"I think marijuana played a role in my libertarianism, because when in 1970 I smoked it for the first time I realized that everything the government said about it was a lie," he said. "You know, you smoke marijuana, you're going to go crazy, you'll want to commit crime, you are going to go to the depths and never return … None of that was true."

Gary Johnson has best ever haul

September 20, 2012

Politico

By Dave Levinthal

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson had his best fundraising month ever in August, but the money remains a pittance compared with the tens of millions of dollars President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are raising. Johnson's $356,406 last month largely came in the form of modest contributions from hundreds of individuals, new federal records show.

The former New Mexico governor, who initially sought the Republican Party's presidential nomination this year, also received $73,692 in public matching funds from a federal program both Obama and Romney have rejected.

Spoiler Alert: Meet Gary Johnson, Libertarian

September 20, 2012

Bloomberg Businessweek

By Ira Boudway

Gary Johnson was governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003. He made a name for himself by vetoing 750 bills that didn't meet his standards for thrift. Before that, Johnson made a fortune in construction, starting as a solo Albuquerque handyman in 1974 and selling his 1,000-employee company, Big J Enterprises, for $10 million in 1999. Johnson likes to ski, hike, and cycle. He has completed 75 triathlons and climbed Mt. Everest while healing from a broken leg. Also, he is running for president.

Why Gary Johnson Won't Shut Up About Marijuana

September 21, 2012

The Atlantic

By Molly Ball

In reporting my profile of Gary Johnson in this month's issue of The Atlantic, one of the things I discovered is that his advisers used to tell him not to talk about pot so much. It made him too easy to pigeonhole as the stoner candidate, not to be taken seriously.

But in his 2012 campaign as the nominee of the Libertarian Party, Johnson has instead made marijuana legalization one of his signature issues. In an ad he hopes to air, highlighted by Conor Friedersdorf in July, Johnson calls President Obama a hypocrite for continuing to prosecute pot smokers even though, as David Maraniss's recent biography revealed, Obama was a member of a high-school dope-smoking clique called the Choom Gang.

In Three-Way Race Obama Leads Romney 49-42, Johnson Gets 6 Percent

September 21, 2012

Reason.com

By Emily Ekins

A new national Reason-Rupe poll of likely voters finds President Barack Obama leading Republican Mitt Romney 48 percent to 43 percent in the presidential race. When undecided voters are asked which way they are leaning Obama's lead over Romney grows to 52-45.

President Obama holds large advantages among women (53-37), African-Americans (92-2) and Hispanics (71-18). Fifty-two percent of likely voters view Obama favorably, while 45 view him unfavorably. In contrast, 49 percent of likely voters have an unfavorable view of Mitt Romney and 41 percent have a favorable view of him.

Gary Johnson Files Anti-Trust Lawsuit To Get Into Presidential Debates

September 21, 2012

Buzzfeed

By Zeke Miller

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson filed an anti-trust lawsuit in federal court Friday to try to force his way into next month's presidential debates.

Johnson, who first sought the GOP primary nomination before launching a third-party bid, is suing the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates and both the Democratic and Republican parties, calling the CPD a "conspiracy."

Ron Paul and Gary Johnson Planted the Seeds for an Independent Voter Revolution

By Christopher McDaniel

Rasmussen has been tracking party affiliation in the United States for some time. Most recently, the site's poll indicates that of the 238 million Americans over the age of 18, 37.6% self-identify as Republicans, while 33.3% identify as Democrats, and 29.2% are other. So how do those numbers look in re to the population?

Gary Johnson Sues To Get Into Presidential Debates

September 24, 2012

U.S. News & World Report

By Kenneth Walsh

Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson has filed a lawsuit to win a spot in the presidential debates that start in Denver on Oct. 3.

It's unlikely that he will succeed, but Johnson argues that the private Commission on Presidential Debates, along with the Democratic and the Republican parties, are unfairly blocking him from participating. Only President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney are being allowed to debate.

Obama's Gay Marriage Letter

The Anon Guy (The Anon Guy) — Thu, 10 May 2012 02:51:00 +0000

Friend --

Today, I was asked a direct question and gave a direct answer:

I believe that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry.

I hope you'll take a moment to watch the conversation, consider it, and weigh in yourself on behalf of marriage equality: http://my.barackobama.com/Marriage

I've always believed that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally. I was reluctant to use the term marriage because of the very powerful traditions it evokes. And I thought civil union laws that conferred legal rights upon gay and lesbian couples were a solution.

But over the course of several years I've talked to friends and family about this. I've thought about members of my staff in long-term, committed, same-sex relationships who are raising kids together. Through our efforts to end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, I've gotten to know some of the gay and lesbian troops who are serving our country with honor and distinction.

What I've come to realize is that for loving, same-sex couples, the denial of marriage equality means that, in their eyes and the eyes of their children, they are still considered less than full citizens.

Even at my own dinner table, when I look at Sasha and Malia, who have friends whose parents are same-sex couples, I know it wouldn't dawn on them that their friends' parents should be treated differently.

So I decided it was time to affirm my personal belief that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry.

I respect the beliefs of others, and the right of religious institutions to act in accordance with their own doctrines. But I believe that in the eyes of the law, all Americans should be treated equally. And where states enact same-sex marriage, no federal act should invalidate them.

If you agree, you can stand up with me here.

Thank you,

Barack

How Not To Send a Campaign Email

The Anon Guy (The Anon Guy) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 22:20:00 +0000

If you're going to send out a campaign email, make sure you do it from your own campaign account. Any other accounts and you can run into some problems, as Chuck Muth's Citizen Outreach Foundation may find out thanks to a recent email from a Nevada state senate candidate.

Richard McArthur is an assemblyman looking to move up, but unfortunately he chose to email the announcement through the above conservative foundation. Since contributions to 501(c)(3) foundations are tax deductible, there are certain rules on what they can and can't do. On the can't list is participating in any campaign on behalf of any candidate. Violate that and the IRS may start breathing down the neck of the organization, with your campaign caught in the crossfire.

For more details on how this unfolded, read Orrin Johnson's original post on Muth's potentially illegal dabbling in a political campaign and then the followup -- "Ethically Bankrupt."

They Are Desperate

The Anon Guy (The Anon Guy) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 22:08:00 +0000

Friend,

We already knew that President Obama and his allies have an obsession with Mitt Romney. But their latest plunge into dirty politicking reeks of desperation, proving yet again their willingness to say and do anything to cling to power.

The Obama political machine recently enlisted its close friend, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, to help with its latest smear campaign against Mitt.

I responded with the following letter:

Dear Governor Patrick:

As you know, state law strictly prohibits you and your staff from using public resources for political campaign purposes. Under state law, a public employee may not provide services to a candidate or campaign during his or her work hours.

Nonetheless, it is evident that your office has become an opposition research arm of the Obama reelection campaign. The latest example occurred yesterday when your chief legal counsel, Mark Reilly, in the absence of a legitimate public records request, supplied The Boston Globe with copies of cancelled checks from 2006 documenting the lawful purchase of computer equipment by departing members of the Romney administration. This action was nothing more than a weak attempt to disparage practices that you know were in complete compliance with the law.

Given the amount of time your staff is apparently spending to assist the Obama campaign, I request that you provide us with copies of all email correspondence, phone logs, and visitor logs showing contacts that David Axelrod, David Plouffe and Jim Messina have had with you and members of the Executive Office from 2007 to the present.

At a time when unemployment is at unacceptably high levels, both here in Massachusetts and around the country, the people of Massachusetts deserve to know that you are focused on alleviating joblessness - not running a dirty tricks shop for your friend, President Obama.

Sincerely,

Matt Rhoades
Campaign Manager
Romney for President

It's politics as usual for the White House. Despite our nation's record unemployment and economic turmoil, President Obama is clearly only interested in saving his own job.

Please take a moment to share this email with your friends and family who believe America deserves better - much better.

Thanks,

Matt Rhoades

Obama for America

Friend --

I know I don't usually send you emails, but Joe has a birthday coming up this Sunday, and I'm trying something new.

The First Family and I are putting together a special card for him, and we'd like as many supporters of this campaign as possible to add their names and messages for Joe.

Because the year ahead is going to be a big one -- not just for Joe and me, but for all of us. We've all got some work to do.

So help us make this birthday a memorable one for Joe. Add your names, and, if you like, your own notes and well-wishes for the year ahead:

Thanks,

Jill

Surging

The Anon Guy (The Anon Guy) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:16:00 +0000

Dear Liberty Activist,

It's working.

Your generosity during my dad's money bombs... his campaign's TV ads... The millions of pieces of direct mail that's been sent to voters throughout the country ...

The hard work of folks just like you on the campaign's critical Phone From Home program... It's all paying off.

Another poll in Iowa just came out confirming Ron Paul in second place – and within the margin of error of FIRST.

And in New Hampshire, he's now solidly in second place – 6% ahead of his nearest opponent.

Despite the media's best efforts, my dad's campaign is now surging in key early states.

But with just over six weeks until the voters begin to go to the polls to select the Republican nominee, it's crunch time for the campaign.

And two critical actions I will describe in just a moment could make the difference between defeat on election night - or an historic victory that would rock the Washington, D.C. political establishment like never before.

Can I count on you to help? I hope I can.

As he told you from the beginning, my dad is in this to WIN.

Of course, he knew he'd never get a big break in the national media like some of his opponents.

That's should be no surprise. I've never met a single defender of constitutionally limited government who counts the establishment media as a friend!

So from the beginning, Ron Paul's campaign's strategy has been to bypass the media and bring his message straight to the voters.

But it's one thing to put together a winning strategy on paper.

It's quite another to be able to constantly depend on true Patriots like you to dig deep to pay for his constant campaigning, mail, email, TV ads, and all the rest.

My dad's supporters are truly incredible. And all of his campaign's success is only possible because of your support.

The great news is, thanks to your help, my dad's message of liberty is resonating like never before.

After years of Big Government, big spending, "politics-as-usual" policies from BOTH parties, Americans are ready for a return to limited government, free markets, sound money, and individual liberty.

And they know Ron Paul is the only candidate who:

*** Predicted the current economic crisis years in advance and led the fight to prevent it - even as others running in this race were cheering on the disastrous government bailouts that have only dug us deeper into debt.

*** Possesses a consistent conservative record of standing up for the Constitution - even when it means voting alone.

*** Receives more donations from active duty military than all his Republican opponents combined!

*** Has a detailed plan to cut ONE TRILLION dollars from the federal budget in the first year of his presidency and deliver a fully balanced budget by year three.

Now, the only question is, can you and I keep up this surge?

Can we capitalize on it?

Can we truly shake the establishment to its core?

Absolutely.

But only with your help. Here's what you can do:

First, please contribute what you can right away.

Whether it's $100, $50, $25, or even $5, every single dollar will help my dad's campaign recruit more volunteers, reach millions of more voters, and ensure the success of their get-out-the-vote strategy on Election Day.

I know the campaign has asked a lot of his supporters already this year.

I also know these are tough times for every American.

But I also know that every dollar folks like you have given to my dad's campaign thus far has been in the hopes that you and I would reach this moment.

So please help Ron Paul's campaign capitalize on their surge.

Second, if you haven't yet signed up for the campaign's Phone From Home program, please click HERE to do so right away.

Next to contributing financially, there is absolutely nothing you can do to help Ron Paul more.

You can talk directly to voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada from your own home and on your own time. It's incredibly easy.

All you have to do is log in and read a script. You don't even have to dial the phone numbers.

I can't emphasize this enough: your contribution and your participation in the campaign's Phone From Home program could very well make the difference on Election Night.

But most importantly, your action right now could make the difference for our country's future.

That's what my dad's campaign is all about.

With your help, I'm confident we can Restore America Now.

For Liberty,

Rand Paul

P.S. My dad's surge in the polls in Iowa has just been confirmed, and another poll in New Hampshire shows him clearly in second place – 6% ahead of his nearest opponent.

I'm counting on you to help Ron Paul capitalize on this momentum.

First, please donate whatever you are able right away.

Every dollar - whether it's $100 or $5 - will go toward the campaign's efforts to directly reach millions of more voters.

Second, if you haven't yet done so, please sign up for the Phone From Home program so you can help the campaign turn out the vote in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada - all from the comfort of your own home.

Mitt Romney Announces Nevada Endorsements

The Anon Guy (The Anon Guy) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:15:00 +0000

MITT ROMNEY ANNOUNCES SUPPORT OF EIGHT
NEVADA STATE SENATORS

Boston, MA - Mitt Romney announced the support of eight State Senators from Nevada.

"I am honored to have the support of these dedicated public servants in Nevada," said Mitt Romney. "Nevada has been hit particularly hard by the national policies of the last three years. We will work together to reverse those failed policies and bring jobs back to Nevada and the rest of the country."

"With unemployment soaring, Nevadans need new leadership in the White House," said State Senate President Lt. Governor Brian Krolicki. "With his deep understanding of how the economy works, Mitt Romney is the best candidate to reverse President Obama's failed policies."

Announcing his support, State Senate Republican Leader Mike McGinness said, "Mitt Romney continues to show that he is the most prepared candidate to not only defeat President Obama, but also rescue our economy. In order to leave our children and grandchildren with a balanced budget and an economy that creates jobs, we must elect a conservative leader with experience in the private sector. Mitt Romney is that leader."

"President Obama's economic policies have failed the citizens of Nevada. Nevadans cannot afford four more years of these policies, which have resulted in high unemployment and foreclosure rates," said State Senator Michael Roberson. "Mitt Romney has the private sector background, along with his experience as Governor of Massachusetts, to balance the budget, create jobs, and provide the stability in Washington that will guarantee American exceptionalism."

State Senators Endorsing Mitt Romney:

State Senator Greg Brower
State Senator Barbara Cegavske
State Senator Elizabeth Halseth
State Senator Joe Hardy
State Senator Ben Kieckhefer

November 17, 2011

Tonight at 8 PM ET (5 PM PT), I will host my third Yowie.com online townhall from the University of California's Washington, DC center.

The event is being sponsored by Johns Hopkins University and the format will differ slightly from our previous townhalls.

I will begin with a 25 minute address to a live audience on the topic of "Liberty and Governance." After my remarks, I will answer questions from those in attendance and from the online audience.

To tune in, visit www.GaryJohnson2012.com at 8 PM ET.

As you might imagine, technology and social media are critical tools in helping me spread our much-needed message of liberty.

Show your support: https://donate.GaryJohnson2012.com

Our first two townhalls combined to draw over 10,000 participants! With your help, tonight's event promises to be our most successful yet.

These interactive townhalls provide a level of transparency and access unlike any presidential campaign in history, where anyone worldwide can tune in and interact with me by asking their questions.

Please share information about tonight's event with your friends, family, and business associates by forwarding this e-mail or linking to the event on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/events/117914584987562/.

Recently, there has been a burst in media activity due in part to the success of our campaign townhalls and hangouts.

Show your support: https://donate.GaryJohnson2012.com

An in-depth -- and much talked-about -- profile of our campaign appeared Monday in the Los Angeles Times (link).

Last night, I made a high-profile appearance on one of Fox News's most popular shows, "Red Eye" (link). Earlier in the week, I appeared on Fox's "America's Election HQ" (link).

I also had major appearances this week on MSNBC's "Dylan Ratigan Show" (link) and "Up with Chris Hayes" (hour one and hour two).

As you can see, demand for our message continues to increase. The tenets of liberty are beginning to spread like wildfire, and I am deeply humbled to serve as your spokesman on the national stage.

Thank you sincerely for your continued support as I share our message with millions of Americans across the country: https://donate.GaryJohnson2012.com.

Karger Threatens to Boycott Florida Orange Juice Unless Primary Moved Back

Re: Potential Boycott of Florida Orange Juice

Gentleman:

Florida is jeopardizing the most important decision we make as Americans every four years, the election of the President of the United States.

By violating Republican National Committee rules and choosing January 31, 2012 for Florida's Presidential Primary, you have created havoc in the Presidential selection process. Florida has gained nothing by moving its primary date forward and will remain the fifth contest. You have caused tremendous disruption and uncertainty in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. Florida would rob voters of one of the most important tools they need to make an informed decision: time.

Voters need time during the coming months to fully vet all eleven serious Republican Presidential candidates. Florida would potentially rob American voters of two months of campaigning which only helps the frontrunner. As one of these candidates for President, I cannot sit idly by while the state of Florida threatens the entire selection process.

The 2012 presidential election is of extreme importance. Our nation is at a crucial juncture and Florida's poorly thought out decision is ill-conceived and un-American.

Boycott Florida Orange Juice

If Florida does not agree to move its primary back to its original date in March 2012 by November 1, 2011, we will officially launch a nationwide Boycott of Florida Orange Juice. We have the domain name, have begun developing our web site and have the ticking orange on our logo:

In my fight for civil rights over the last three years, I have led four national and global boycotts. I was involved in the Anita Bryant inspired Florida Orange Juice Boycott in 1978, and am keenly aware of the economic pressure that boycotts wield. I have begun speaking with Republican and political leaders in New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina and Nevada. There is tremendous interest in our possible boycott.

Friend --

Remember that deadline we kept emailing you about a couple weeks ago?

Here's what you should know about what we'll report to the FEC tomorrow:

    -- In the third fundraising quarter of this year, 606,027 people donated to this campaign -- even more than gave in the record-breaking previous quarter.
    -- Those people gave more than 766,000 total donations -- 98 percent of them $250 or less, at an average amount of $56. That's more than twice as many donations than we had at this point in the historic 2008 campaign.
    -- We are focused on building infrastructure that will help us win in 2012. And each quarter we set a combined goal for the campaign and our allies at the Democratic National Committee. We far exceeded our goal of $55 million this quarter between the two organizations.
    -- Together, Obama for America and the DNC raised more than $70 million. And it all happened during a summer when the President was focused on doing the job he was elected to do -- a summer when we had to cancel a series of fundraising events and ask everyone to dig a little deeper.

If I could sum up this last quarter in a few words: Supporters like you came through.

Here's even bigger news: Right now, 982,967 people have donated to this campaign. We're within striking distance of 1 million donors.

It's not too late for you to be part of that first million. And get this -- someone who has already given to the campaign is willing to give again, matching whatever donation you make today.

Double your impact and be part of the first million people to own this campaign -- make a donation now.

Part of the reason we send you all these emails is that we don't accept any money from special-interest groups or Washington lobbyists.

So getting to a million grassroots donors isn't just a huge accomplishment this early in the campaign. It's our answer to our opponents, the press, and anyone who wants to know whether the President's supporters have his back.

The reality is that on top of the hundreds of thousands of supporters from 2008 who decided to make another donation, 257,635 people made their first donation ever to the Obama organization -- continuing the record pace we set in the previous quarter.

That support translates directly to what we can do on the ground. In the past three months we've grown our organizing staff by 50 percent, and opened up three new field offices every week. Thousands of volunteers and organizers made 3 million phone calls and in-person visits to voters.

That's all because nearly 1 million people decided to take ownership.

And the continued pace of that growth is up to you -- we will open more offices, train more organizers, and knock on more doors at the pace you make possible.

When Republicans think it helps their political fortunes to block the progress that the President is advocating for, we have to speak up and mobilize.

You know why it's important to engage right now. We're up against a Republican Party and special interest-funded groups that will spend hundreds of millions of dollars spreading any message that they believe will defeat the President and roll back our efforts to build a fairer economy that rewards hard work and responsibility, not large corporations.

But we've also got to build for the long term. That's what all the fundraising and deadlines are about: building the organization now that will put us in a position to win in 2012.

Thanks for all you did to get us here. I'm excited for what's ahead, and I hope you'll take part in the push to 1 million grassroots donors today.

Match someone's pledge, double your impact, and become part of the first million today:
