A post-debate message from Barack!
Friend --

I just finished my first debate with John McCain.

Millions of Americans finally got a chance to see us take on the fundamental choice in this election -- the change we need or more of the same.

I will provide tax cuts for the middle class, affordable health care, and a new energy economy that creates millions of jobs. John McCain wants to keep giving huge tax cuts to corporations, and he offered no solutions for the challenges Americans are facing in their daily lives.

I will end the war in Iraq responsibly, focus on defeating al Qaeda and the Taliban, and restore America's standing in the world after eight years of disastrous policies. John McCain wants an unending commitment in Iraq and fails to recognize the resurgent threat in Afghanistan.

Let's be clear: John McCain is offering nothing but more of the same failed Bush policies at home and abroad that he has supported more than 90% of the time in the Senate.

Americans need change now, and I need your help to get the word out about this movement.

In the coming days, it's going to be up to you to organize locally and reach the voters that are going to decide this election.

Now's the time to make your voice heard.

Please make a donation of $5 or more right now to support this campaign for change:

Thank you for all that you're doing,

Barack

1. K&R - I'm donating to Barack because he's going to work for me, for the U.S. - not just the rich.
It's the least I can do.

2. I'm donating to help pay for folks on the ground because
I cannot be there. And we should all donate even just $5 to show a post-debate "surge".

3. Barack needs to spend some time
on why people pay Federal, state and local taxes and why they are not seeing better schools, education, infrastructure, health care etc. He needs to put it on the table that people are paying taxes without representation. He needs to tear up the earmarks agenda and present in terms of what people are entitled to from their taxes - roads, bridges, schools, etc. Requesting taxpayer money for the social good is not a bad thing. He also needs to memorize all of McPOW's wasteful spending in Arizona.

7. The First Debate is over. Give us your feedback
Please take part in our study on U.S. Presidential Candidate Momentum by answering the short survey posted at this link:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=l0TkLx7LaMm8Ws9TsbmicQ_3d_3d

We are using the survey to track the momentum of each candidate throughout the election season. We'll issue a similar questionnaire several times over the next few months to see what sort of fluctuations happen over the course of the campaigns.

Thank you in advance for your participation.
