Dear Jim Castagnera,
My announcement Monday struck a nerve with Obama's campaign. In fact, just hours after my speech, the Obama machine released a dishonest attack on the constitutional conservative principles that will guide our campaign.
For too long, our nation has allowed President Obama to dismantle our economy. The rising unemployment numbers are a glaring example of his failed policies and broken promises, and we simply cannot afford another four years of this Administration.
This much is clear – to get our nation back on track, Barack Obama must be a one-term president. I am running for President of the United States to restore our constitutional conservative values to government and put our nation back on a path towards prosperity. Our voice has been missing in the White House for far too long, and I know you’re ready to help bring it back.
I'm sending you this urgent email because my campaign is approaching its first critical financial deadline. Our first presidential fundraising deadline of the year is this Thursday, June 30 at midnight, and I need your immediate help to raise an additional $200,000 to meet our fundraising goal for the quarter.
Can I count on you to follow this link to make a generous contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more to help me reach our fundraising goal before Thursday's midnight deadline?
Make no mistake: the liberal media and the Democrats running Obama’s reelection campaign are chomping at the bit to look at my FEC fundraising report. They’ll use our numbers to gauge our movement’s energy, and I need your support to let them know that we are on fire. I'm hoping you will join me in showing Barack Obama and his liberal allies that we have built a strong grassroots base of donors and activists by making a secure, online contribution of $25 or more right away.
While millions of Americans suffer without jobs under Obama’s oppressive economic policies, his administration continues to be tone-deaf, even going so far as to refer to the unemployed as “bumps in the road.” I am running for President because the American people will no longer settle for this outrageous lack of leadership.
We know that we can do better, and that’s why I hope that you’ll join my team by making a contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more to put our nation back on track.
Thank you for your continued support and friendship. May God bless America.
Sincerely,
Michele Bachmann
P.S. I'm running for President to restore our conservative voice and values to the White House, where it hasn’t been heard for a long time. Our first presidential fundraising deadline of the year is quickly approaching this Thursday at midnight and I need to raise $200,000 in the final hours leading up to this critical deadline. Can I count on your contribution of $25, $50, $100 or even $250? Please follow this link to make a donation today. Thank you.

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann may hate Medicaid, but it sure looks like her husband doesn't.
Marcus Bachmann's mental health clinic has received more than $137,000 from the very organization his wife likes to slam, according to an NBC News report.
The government aid is in addition to the $24,000 in federal and state funds Bachmann and Associates has already received for staff training programs.
The Minnesota Department of Human Services has allocated the Medicaid funds to the clinic over a period of six years. The funds are aimed at helping low-income mentally ill patients.
Marcus serves as president of the Lake Elmo-based clinic.
The Tea Party favorite insists that her family has not directly received government aid.
"My husband and I did not get the money," Michele told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace.
She said the funding was solely for employee training purposes.
"[It was] one-time training money that came from the federal government," Michele said. "And it certainly didn't help our clinic."
Wallace did not ask her about the $137,000 in Medicaid payments -- and she did not acknowledge them either.
