We rely on a network of more than 350,000 ordinary people to make us competitive — more supporters than all the other Democratic candidates combined.\ \ \ Washington lobbyists have chosen their candidate and are determined to provide her with an overwhelming advantage. But you can even up this contest.\ \ \ In the face of the most entrenched political machine in Democratic politics, I believe a movement of ordinary Americans can change our country. And you can prove that right now.\ \ \ I need you to make a donation to close the gap.\ \ \ Barack
