From an email to supporters from Obama campaign manager David Plouffe:
We have some big news we want to share with you.
Because of your generosity and commitment, we're reporting to the press today that this campaign is in a very strong financial position.
In the month of June, supporters like you helped raise $52 million.
But more impressive than the number is how you did it. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people contributed to building our campaign for change. Many were first-time donors, giving only what they could afford -- and the average donation was just $68.
Fifty-two million dollars raised with an average donation of $68 is undeniably impressive. Also, by our estimate, this puts Obama on track to achieve his goal of raising $300 million or more, since he needs at least $50 million a month to get there -- and the fundraising very likely will pick up even more when the conventions roll around. |
