We cannot allow his billion-dollar machine to win -- and we can?t allow them to continue to lie about and distort my record and plan. Paul Ryan and I have bold ideas and a strong agenda to get America working again.
We will get this country back on track -- and we need your help to push back against the Obama machine and to promote our agenda.
I am proud that in September alone, we raised $43.15 million from 1,011,773 donations under $250 -- that?s 93.1% of all donations from across the country. Your donation today supports our game-changing ground operations.
We've prepared for this moment by building a record-breaking ground game run with over 120,000 devoted volunteers. We?ve made nearly 51 million voter contacts and crossed the 11 million doors knocked threshold -- that?s incredible.
But our grassroots operation must have the resources it needs to compete with the President?s billion-dollar machine.
On Saturday, we launched an effort to raise $7 million in 7 days so that we can take our message into new states and tell voters about our plan to create 12 million new jobs.
Act now -- contribute to help build up our ground game and help Romney-Ryan and the Republican team.
This race is close -- and you can directly affect the outcome.
Thanks,
Mitt Romney

Friend,
Following four years of failed leadership, the hopes of our country are growing dim.
Our country needs a leader to revive those hopes, and we need someone of principle.
This week?s convention in Tampa marks a crucial moment for our party and our nation. This is the moment when we pull together and renew our commitment to returning America to prosperity and greatness.
Governor Romney is the man for this moment. He, the Republican team, and I share one commitment: We will restore the promise and greatness of this country.
Donate $3 today to support us and the Republican team -- and to advance an agenda of economic growth, job creation, and fiscal discipline.
Your donation will automatically enter you for a chance to join us in Tampa to watch Mitt accept the Republican Party?s nomination.
Thanks,
Paul Ryan
Dear Friend,
If you’re like most Americans, there’s nothing more important to you about health care than peace of mind.
Given the status quo, that’s understandable. The current system often denies insurance due to pre-existing conditions, charges steep out-of-pocket fees – and sometimes isn’t there at all if you become seriously ill.
It’s time to fix our unsustainable insurance system and create a new foundation for health care security. That means guaranteeing your health care security and stability with eight basic consumer protections:
No discrimination for pre-existing conditions
No exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles or co-pays
No cost-sharing for preventive care
No dropping of coverage if you become seriously ill
No gender discrimination
No annual or lifetime caps on coverage
Extended coverage for young adults
Guaranteed insurance renewal so long as premiums are paid
Learn more about these consumer protections at Whitehouse.gov.
Over the next month there is going to be an avalanche of misinformation and scare tactics from those seeking to perpetuate the status quo. But we know the cost of doing nothing is too high. Health care costs will double over the next decade, millions more will become uninsured, and state and local governments will go bankrupt.
It’s time to act and reform health insurance, drive down costs and guarantee the health care security and stability of every American family. You can help by putting these core principles of reform in the hands of your friends, your family, and the rest of your social network.
Thank you,
Barack Obama
Are you listed as unaffiliated or independent in your voting registers Bonita?
Republican.
I haven't gotten any political calls on my cell (then again, I haven't gotten any unsolicited text messages on my phone either.) Are they allowed to call your cell unsolicited? I don't think that should be allowed either, since people may have to pay for their minutes.
Email doesn't bother me as much since you typically don't pay by email and it is easy enough to screen your emails (unless you're Lillie :p) Same with home phones. We have a home phone again because it was cheaper to package a home phone and internet and cable rather than just get internet and cable, and it has been ringing off the hook because DH is an independent in a swing state. But we also have caller ID, and I just refuse to answer any number I don't recognize (anyone who knows me knows to call my cell, and that's the number I put on all forms and paperwork) so it's easy enough to ignore the political calls.
Bonita, its hard to tell who those are actually coming from or are endorsed by, KWIM? They could be from anyone. I agree that if you are registered republican it would be very strange to get an official email from the Obama campaign. Whole thing seems weird!
Bonita, is your Dh in a union? We were getting a TON of stuff, emails, mail, phone calls and texts, from the Obama campaign. Come to find out the Oregon Educators Association (local teachers union) gave our information to the DNC

from countless Americans struggling to afford health insurance and
health professionals striving to provide care. I appreciate your
perspective.
There is broad consensus among the American people on
the need for affordable, high-quality health care. The rising cost of
health care is the most pressing financial challenge for families and
for our Nation, and controlling this cost is essential to bringing
down the Federal deficits we inherited. We must end unfair
insurance practices that leave millions of Americans without
coverage, denying them access to care, and exposing them to
extraordinary burdens. And we should ensure that all small
business employees have access to affordable, high-quality health
plans so that we can make our economy--and our small businesses-
-more competitive. Now is the time to move forward, and I am
working to get health insurance reform done this year.
Since I took office, we have done more to improve health
care than we have in the previous decade. In February, I signed
H.R. 2 to provide coverage for millions of children through the
Children's Health Insurance Program, and I signed the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act to make key investments in
computerized medical records and preventive services.
Still, more must be done to lower costs, expand coverage,
and improve the quality of health care. My 2010 Budget makes a
major down payment on health insurance reform by implementing
efficiencies in government health care spending while improving
the quality of care. To help fulfill the debt we owe to our service
men and women, it includes the largest proposed single-year
increase in veterans funding in 30 years. It expands health care
coverage to an additional 500,000 veterans by 2013, implements
technology that eases the transition from military care to veterans'
care, and enhances screening and treatment services for those
suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic
Brain Injury.
Looking forward, there are tough choices to be made, and I
will seek to bring employers and workers, health care providers
and patients, and Democrats and Republicans together to create a
system that delivers better care and puts the Nation on a
sustainable, long-term fiscal path. To learn more about my agenda
or to share a personal story, please join me online at:
Health Reform. For further information on health care and
assistance that may be available to you, you may call 1-800-
FEDINFO or visit: USA.gov: The U.S. Government's Official Web Portal.
I share the sense of urgency that millions of Americans have
voiced. I watched as my ailing mother struggled with stacks of
insurance forms in the last moments of her life. This is not who
we are as a Nation; together, we will fix it.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
