| I wanted to make sure you saw this invitation from David Plouffe. You can have a major impact in the final months of our campaign by joining the Grassroots Finance Committee. It may seem a little intimidating to set a personal goal of raising $1,000, but you'll be surprised at how easy it is to get started. You've already taken the first step by creating a personal fundraising page, and we'll walk you through the process of reaching out to friends and tracking your progress. Chances are you know quite a few people who would be happy to get involved but don't know how. You can bring them into this movement and help them own a piece of this historic campaign. I hope you'll help us build the momentum by joining the Grassroots Finance Committee today. We've worked hard to build tools that make it easy, and our staff is available to help you along the way. Together, we're changing politics by bringing ordinary people together to accomplish extraordinary things. Thanks, Chris Chris Hughes My.BarackObama ------ Original Message ------ From: David Plouffe Subject: A special invitation to join the Grassroots Finance Committee Dear Friends,  Barack will accept the nomination in less than two weeks, and the pace of this campaign will get faster than ever. Millions of new people will be paying attention, and you can help bring them into our movement at this crucial time. Join the Grassroots Finance Committee (GFC), a core group of dedicated supporters who are setting a personal goal to raise $1,000 each in small-dollar donations. Barack is relying on ordinary people giving only what they can afford to support this movement. Join the GFC and reach out to your network of friends, family, and neighbors and encourage them to make a donation and own a piece of this campaign. Sign up to join the Grassroots Finance Committee today. You don't need to have any prior political experience. This campaign is about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. You've already taken the first step by setting up a personal fundraising page on My.BarackObama. Today, we hope you will take it to the next level by joining the GFC. We've made it as easy as possible, and campaign staff will be available to make sure your personal fundraising efforts are a success. The GFC team put together a video of Michelle, a committee member from the spring who wanted to share her experience. Watch what she has to say and join the GFC today.  More than a thousand people like you have joined the committee and helped power this movement through personal contact with fellow grassroots supporters. That stands in stark contrast to the campaign being run by John McCain and the RNC. Right now, McCain and the RNC are raking in huge contributions from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs to fund their increasingly negative attacks. With just 80 days to the election, we need more supporters like you to join the GFC now. Even if you have never done anything like this before, you can easily get started today.
