Dear Readers,

Did you see the debate last night?

If you did, you saw more gotcha
politics and distractions than questions about the pressing issues affecting
our country.

In fact, it took more than
45 minutes before Barack was asked about the economy, health care, or foreign
policy.

Regrettably, Senator Clinton
seemed all too comfortable with that type of debate. She’s running a 100%
negative campaign in Pennsylvania, taking every opportunity to make personal
and discredited attacks against Senator Obama.

You can send a message
that politics doesn’t have to be played this way.

Senator Clinton’s false, negative
attacks are exactly the kind of say-anything, do-anything politics that the
American people are tired of.

That’s why polls show that
the majority of Americans think she’s running the most negative campaign,
and 58% of voters do not find her honest or trustworthy.

Barack Obama wants to end the
politics of division and distraction in Washington so we can bring about real
change for ordinary Americans.

The stakes are too high to
play the same old games. More than 1.3 million supporters have responded
to Barack’s message of change, and with your help we can reach 1.5 million
by May 6th.

Make a donation of any amount
today, and it will be matched by a previous donor who has pledged to double
your impact:
