Obama’s Camp: $52M In June
In an email to supporters this morning, Obama mgr David Plouffe announced that the campaign raised a total of $52M in the month of June with an average donation of just $68. Combined, the Obama camp and the DNC have a total of nearly $72M CoH. Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported Obama's campaign brought in around $30M in June, calling the number “underwhelming.”
In his email today, Plouffe said the $52M figure, “is a healthy number. But McCain and the RNC together still have a huge cash advantage, and we need your help to close the gap." Plouffe notes "we're facing a Republican machine with unprecedented resources at its disposal. The McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee finished June with nearly $100 million in the bank.”
McCain raised more than $22M in Jun. -- his best fundraising performance of the campaign -- and ended the month with nearly $27M CoH. McCain mgr. Rick Davis said 7/10 that McCain and the RNC together entered July with about $95M CoH.
The force of patriotism is stepping forward to invest in your country's transformation when your means are minimal, not in demanding unchanged tax reductions when you are able to pay. A war fought by the non-rich to aid the powerful has mortgaged America's future. Thank goodness for the patriots of lesser means who want to redeem America's tomorrow. Past failures of top-down economics shows such plans for what they are, selfish not country-serving.
