Interesting. For a Party that has complained about the economy and how bad it is for the middle and lower classes, they sure don’t have a problem asking for money. Text of the email below the More tag
William –
In the months and years ahead, we’re going to accomplish amazing things together. No president has ever had the support of such a powerful grassroots movement, and Barack and Joe will need you to continue fighting alongside them.
But before we take the next step, we need to get our house in order.
The Democratic National Committee poured all of its resources into building our successful 50-state field program. And they played a crucial role in helping Barack win in unlikely states like North Carolina and Indiana. We even picked up an electoral vote in Nebraska.
The DNC took on considerable debt to make this happen.

The DNC began building a 50-state organization in 2005.
The infrastructure they put in place over the last four years opened up a new batch of battleground states where a Democratic nominee hadn’t been competitive for a generation.
In the final few months, the DNC went above and beyond to expand our ground efforts and ensure victory.
We couldn’t have won this election without their support.
As we start laying the groundwork for real change, we need to help the DNC recover the resources it took to win. Please make a donation today and get your 2008 Victory T-shirt:

This movement for change is just getting started, and we look forward to working with you to bring the change this country needs.
Thanks for everything you did to elect Barack and Joe,
Obama for America

We need to put that money back we siphoned off the pension plans to buy the election, before we get caught.
Wow, finally a politician not interested in my money! Oh wait…
They raked in more money for their campaign than in how many previous elections combined, but they’re still broke?
How will they manage the US economy when they can’t even run a campaign without going broke?
Down the memory hole for those foreign donations. Also sure any Federal District prosecutors anywhere near any investigation will be out of a job. Clinton fired all of them including ones investigating in Arkansas
at the time. Oh well. The Dems are back…yah!!!! (Waving hammer and sickle flag) Lifting both arms parallel to the floor, eyes glassing over..yes …we…can…
