Dear Jonathan,
John McCain is breaking the law.
When McCain’s presidential campaign was in trouble, he opted-in to public financing through the primary, limiting
him to a $54 million spending cap. But laws aren’t for “mavericks”… McCain’s latest spending report, filed by his own campaign, shows he has spent in excess of $58 million so far — a public admission by his own hand that he has broken the law. We filed a formal complaint to Federal Election Commission yesterday, and we want you to sign-on for a second delivery of signatures later this week.
View the signers and add your name to theirs right now.
Sincerely,
Markos and Jane

FUNDRAISING: MY DINNER WITH BARRY
Jonathan —
Some of Barack’s favorite moments of the campaign have been opportunities to meet and talk with the most important donors to this campaign: ordinary Americans just like you. You’ve heard about all of these political fundraising dinners, hosted by Washington lobbyists and filled
with representatives of special interests. Contributions like these are at the root of what’s wrong with politics. And John McCain and Hillary Clinton have built campaigns fueled by them.
But our campaign is different.
In February alone, more than 94% of our donors gave in amounts of $200 or less. Meanwhile, campaign finance reports show that donations of $200 or less make up just 13% of Senator McCain’s total campaign funds, and only 26% of Senator Clinton’s. Our funding comes from a movement of more than one million people giving whatever they can afford.
And in the next week, four supporters will be selected for a new kind of fundraising dinner.
Make a donation in any amount between now and 11:59 pm EDT on Monday, March 31st, and you could join Barack and three other supporters for an intimate dinner for five.
I hope you’ll join us for dinner and get involved in Pennsylvania today.
Thanks for your support,
David Plouffe
Campaign Manager
