pd: Eigentlich wars mir schon klar, dass es wieder an mir hängen bleiben würde, aber als Barrack mir dann schrieb dass ich mal wieder ihn und die Welt retten sollte, war ich doch etwas überrumpelt:
Paul, I need you in the game!

Paul, I come into this election with clear eyes.
I am proud of all we have achieved together, but I am mindful of all that remains to be done.
I know some out there are frustrated by the pace of our progress. I want you to know I'm frustrated, too.
But with so much riding on the outcome of this election, I need everyone to get in this game.
Neither one of us is here because we thought it would be easy. Making change is hard. It's what we've said from the beginning. And we've got the lumps to show for it.
The fight this fall is as critical as any this movement has taken on together. And if we are serious about change, we need to fight as hard as we ever have.
The very special interests who have stood in the way of change at every turn want to put their conservative allies in control of Congress. And they're doing it with the help of billionaires and corporate special interests underwriting shadowy campaign ads.
If they succeed, they will not stop at making our work more difficult -- they will do their best to undo what you and I fought so hard to achieve.
pd: Und dabei hatte mich seine Alte schon zuvor angepumpt. Schreibt mir doch Michelle…
I need your help

Paul -I've always said that 2008 was an amazing journey. But nothing from that election struck me more than seeing so many giving their time and lending their voices because they were ready for change.
Two years ago, in state after state -- no matter where I went -- I saw grandmothers out canvassing, college kids traveling to swing states and sleeping on gymnasium floors, and people using their lunch breaks to make a few more calls. So many got involved for the very first time, each one bringing others along with them.
It was inspiring to witness.
Now, Barack and I need you to help show that energy again. Because this is such a critical moment, a group of grassroots donors are ready to match any contribution you can give.
Across the country, teachers and firefighters, truckers and nurses have made pledges of support hoping to inspire you to take the next step. Because of them, a $3 contribution will become $6.
Donate today and answer your fellow supporter's pledge to match whatever you can give.
Here's how it works:
You choose the amount you are able to give and another supporter willing to match that amount doubles it.
-You can choose to write a note to the individual who matched your donation and tell them why you decided to own a piece of this movement.
Since the day Barack announced his plan to run for office, supporters like you have made everything we've achieved possible.
That's as true now as it was on Election Day in 2008.
You're the reason we reformed a health care system that was broken, progress that means so much to so many. You're the reason we reined in Wall Street banks that were out of control.
But Barack can't keep making progress without strong allies in Congress. And now the same people who've opposed us at every turn are targeting the folks who voted to make change real. They think we can't do it again.
But they're wrong.
If the folks who I saw in 2008 -- those of you who packed up your bags and slept on floors and made calls and talked to voters day after day -- are ready to stand with us again, then I'm ready for any challenge that lies ahead.
That's why we're asking you to help grow this movement once again.
The plan for this election is based on the lessons we learned two years ago. Our organizers and volunteers are knocking on doors every weekend, making calls every night. Your support will help to fund this work.
Another supporter is asking you to join them today -- and has pledged to match whatever you can give.
Please donate $3 or more to help grow this movement before November 2nd:

Thank you,
Michelle Obama
