Here's the email I got from David Plouffe today..

Cha --

Thanks to you, we're putting a new ad on the air in Indiana and North Carolina responding to Senator Clinton's attacks ahead of next Tuesday's primary.

It's only possible because of the outpouring of support we received from supporters like you before tonight's financial reporting deadline.

The topic is a pressing issue in the race right now: how to solve the energy crisis and get gas prices under control.

The ad shows Barack at his best, cutting through the Washington gimmicks and talking about real solutions.

I hope you take a look now:

http://my.barackobama.com/gasprices

Both Senator McCain and Senator Clinton have demanded that we suspend the gas tax, which would not lower gas prices -- experts say it's likely to increase the amount that oil companies charge for gas.

Economists on both the Democratic and Republican sides have called the McCain-Clinton proposal a "gimmick" and "pointless." Clinton aides even bragged to the Washington Post that the plan is just a political ploy to help their candidate sound like she's against Big Oil.

Watch the ad that you helped air and see how Barack addresses this important issue:

Thanks for helping us share this important issue with the voters of Indiana and North Carolina.

[thunder rising]

8. I'm sorry but Canadians (especially the government) needs to stay out of the election.

[quantass]

23. Would buying Obama Merchandise on the site help in Donations?

[Aloha Spirit]

44. Here's the fine print at the bottom of the store page:

An individual may contribute up to $2,300 per election (the primary and general are separate elections). This limit includes contributions made through the Obama Store. If you have already made the maximum contribution and would like Obama merchandise, please contact Obama for America at [phone].

[Aloha Spirit]

[quantass]
