Today is the last day of the April fundraising month. Shortly after today, Obama's April fundraising figures will be released, and pundits will look at these figures to judge Obama's momentum in the race. Hillary Clinton has claimed a 10 million dollar day after the Pennsylvania primaries, which if true, will give her a much better fundraising month than last month.
I know that not everyone has been happy with the way things have been going recently. Barack has taken a couple of hits, particularly with Wright reemerging, but the campaign is still going strong. We are still winning the superdelegate endorsement battle, and we have world class ground games set up in Indiana and North Carolina. Lets give Barack Obama another piece of good news by helping him deliver great April fundraising numbers.
Today, I received my third fundraising plea in the last three days from the campaign. This is more than I've usually received at the end of the month in other months. The Obama campaign is banking on a huge month from us to show to the superdelegates that even when we hit setbacks, we still have the best fundraising operation that any presidential candidate has ever had.
Barack has made a personal request for our help, which I have included below:
Last Chance: Donate I really need your support today.
The April financial reporting deadline is at midnight tonight, and the media and superdelegates, whose backing we need, will be watching closely.
Your support will strengthen our efforts before Tuesday's primaries in North Carolina and Indiana, but it will also help build our movement in all 50 states as we prepare for the general election.
Senator Clinton just launched another round of false attack ads in Indiana and North Carolina, and she's determined to continue her negative campaign until we close out the primary season. In the meantime, we need to prepare ourselves to face similar tactics from Senator McCain.
Make a donation of $25 today to help us fight this two-front battle and show our strength before tonight's deadline:

Thank you for the donation you made this month. I'm grateful for your support, but right now I'm asking you to consider giving again. You can encourage another supporter to donate before the end of the month by promising to match their gift.
Choose the amount you're willing to match and help grow our movement at this important time. You can even choose to write a note to the person whose gift you're matching.
Will you promise an additional gift of $25 to match a fellow supporter's donation before Wednesday's deadline?
