Romney may have just lost the election

Mitt Romney just insulted almost half of all Americans, telling us that we see ourselves as victims and don't "take personal responsibility for their lives." This is the kind of gaffe that could sink his entire campaign. Click here to chip in $5 and help deliver the knock-out punch to the flailing Romney campaign. Chip in $5

Dear MoveOn member,

Mitt Romney may have just lost the election with his incredibly insulting comments that almost half of all Americans are "dependent on government" and "believe they are victims."¹

The Romney campaign is on the ropes, and we have a chance to put him away for good.

Click here to donate $5 to help deliver the knock-out punch to Mitt Romney.

Your donation will help us run the largest independent get-out-the-vote operation in the country.

MoveOn's 7 million members have joined forces with the massive power of the labor movement to create a wave of votes that Romney won't be able to overcome. No one else in the progressive movement is doing anything like it.

Here's how it works: We're going door-to-door talking to real voters about why it's so important to vote for Obama. Research shows that this face-to-face communication is dramatically more effective than big-budget TV ads.

And using some cutting-edge technology, we're able to pinpoint the people who are most likely to be persuaded and mobilized by a conversation with our volunteers. One canvasser can now do the work of five.

And frankly, after Mitt Romney insulted half the country, it's going to be a heck of a lot easier to convince people to vote for Obama—if we can get out there and talk to them RIGHT NOW. We can't sit back and trust that his breathtaking arrogance and 1% attitude is enough to lose the election—there's still a boatload of voter suppression, plus the possibility of an October surprise. And not everyone is paying attention to what's on the news—so we need to seize this opportunity NOW.

Can you chip in 5?

Yes, I can contribute $5.

Thanks for all you do.
