Messina Announces Obama Campaign And DNC Raise $68M in Q4
Obama campaign manager Jim Messina discusses fourth quarter fundraising in this video sent to supporters. He announces that the campaign raised more than $42 million for itself and more than $24 million for the DNC in the last three months of 2011. However, he urges supporters not to be complacent.
"Too many Obama supporters think we don't need their money or they don't need to give now. In fact, in the past week I've gotten emails that say, 'Oh, you don't need our money now' or 'You're going to raise a billion dollars. Why do you need my money?' Look, I totally get why people would think that, but they're completely wrong. First, the billion dollar number is completely untrue. And second, we have to build a neighborhood organization on the ground now, not in six months, and that takes your resources and your donations today."
