Breeze54 --

Our friends at the Democratic National Committee laid it all on the line to bring change this year.

We've been reviewing the books, and the DNC went into considerable debt to secure victory for Barack and Joe.

It took unprecedented resources to staff up all 50 states, train field organizers, and build the technology

to reach as many swing voters as possible.

It worked.

But it also left the DNC in debt. So before we do anything else, we need to help pay for this winning strategy.

Make a donation of $30 or more now and you'll get a limited edition 2008 Victory T-shirt.



The DNC's 50-state field strategy was crucial to our campaign's success, as well as victories for Democrats up and down the ballot.

Their organizing infrastructure allowed us to compete -- and win -- in states that seemed insurmountable just four years ago.

They took out substantial loans to make it happen. The DNC didn't hold back, and now, neither can we.

You were there for this campaign when we needed to reach out to more voters and compete in more states.

Now we're relying on grassroots supporters like you to come through for this movement once again.

We'll get to work transforming this country. But first, we need to take care of the DNC.

Please make a donation of $30 or more today and receive your Obama Victory T-shirt:

Thank you for everything,

18. Doesn't Obama have a lot of campaign funds left?

Why doesn't he pay for it out of that? Afterall, it was Howard Dean's 50 state strategy that helped tremendously in putting him in the Oval Office.
