The micro-payment shakedown (continued) — or, on dealing with robots
George —
Romney and the Republicans announced yesterday that they brought in more than $100 million in June.
For context, that’s about what we raised in April and May combined.
We’re still tallying our own numbers, but this means their gap is getting wider, and if it continues at this pace, it could cost us the election.
We need to reverse this trend — and we need to start now. Will you make a donation of $4 or more today?
One hundred million is alarming enough, but it doesn’t even include the millions pouring into pro-Romney super PACs — or the fact that, unlike four years ago, it’s perfectly legal for the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Karl Rove, and anonymous billionaires to funnel unlimited money into attacking President Obama in critical battleground states.
I’m proud of the way we build this organization. Through the primaries, more than three-quarters of our donations were from people giving less than $1,000. Meanwhile, in that same period, Mitt Romney’s campaign raised three-quarters of its money from people giving $1,000 or more.
If we don’t take this seriously now, we risk finding ourselves at a point where there is too much ground to make up.
We need to do something about it. Today.
Here, send [Mean Future] … to your mailing list and I might think about donating.

It’s such a great idea to send robotic dunning e-mails to the little people everyday. That’s the definitive answer to Mitt Romney’s crazy right-wing billionaire sugar daddies.
