I know.. big deal... but this email from David Plouffe was compelling.

Adam --
Even Karl Rove had to admit yesterday that the McCain campaign's lies and negative attacks have gone "too far."
John McCain is running the most negative and dishonest campaign in modern presidential history. He has demonstrated that he'd rather lose his integrity than lose this election.
It's right out of the Bush-Rove playbook. Unfortunately, as Karl Rove knows better than anyone, these shameful tactics have worked in the past.
This year, we can't let that happen.
Our goal is to bring 50,000 new donors into our movement by Friday at midnight.
You can inspire a fellow supporter to make their first donation -- and make your donation go twice as far. Promise to match the donation of a first-time donor and grow this movement for change.

The culture of corruption and dishonesty that has hurt America so badly the last eight years is playing an even larger role in McCain's campaign.
Just this past week, John McCain hired a Washington super-lobbyist to fill positions in a potential McCain-Palin White House. At least 177 lobbyists have been on McCain's campaign staff, and apparently he hopes to run the White House the same way.
Also this week, the McCain campaign continued to repeat a number of outrageous lies, even after watchdogs in the media called them "shamelessly misleading," "thoroughly dishonest," and "a toxic mix of lies and double-speak."
They also lied about the crowd size at one of their rallies -- reporting 23,000 attendees when there were only 8,000.
McCain's campaign -- run on lobbyists and lies -- is no match for this unprecedented grassroots movement. More than 2,500,000 people have stepped up to own a piece of this campaign.
But if we want change, we must continue to grow this movement and put an end to these dishonorable political tactics. And we have just 50 days left to do it.
Right now, your donation will inspire a fellow supporter to join you in owning a piece of this campaign.

So I did!
I was matched by a stranger in Minnesota. I sent her a note. Maybe I'll have a new friend.

Onward!

1. Me too! I too was pulled in by the letter...

I like the matching thing. It makes you feel like the money grows faster...and the community! :-)
