This really is how this works.  People building this organization 5 and 10 bucks at a time to take on Mitt Romney. 

We're now required to file our fundraising report with the FEC every single month throughout the election, which means we'll be reporting back to you every month on what this organization is raising and how.

We're all going to have to dig even deeper, work even harder, move even faster.  It's going to take all of us working together.  So if you've been waiting to get involved, this is the moment.  Go to BarackObama.com and say you're ready to go.  Thanks so much.
