the fundraising news
\
I want to add some more news to David’s note about the state of the race.\
\
As you know, we’ve won 27 of 41 contests and have maintained our commanding lead among pledged delegates.\
\
But today I want to share another staggering number: supporters like you donated more than $55 million to this campaign in the month of February.\
\
That’s a humbling achievement, and I am very grateful for your support.\
\
No campaign has ever raised this much in a single month in the history of presidential primaries. But more important than the total is how we did it — more than 90% of donations were $100 or less, and more than 385,000 new donors in February pushed us past our goal of more than 1,000,000 people owning a piece of this campaign.\
\
From the beginning, this campaign has always been funded by a movement of grassroots supporters giving whatever they can afford. And unlike Senator Clinton and Senator McCain, we have never taken money from lobbyists or PACs.\
\
Senator Clinton has decided to use her resources to wage a negative, throw-everything-including-the-kitchen-sink campaign. John McCain has clinched the Republican nomination and is attacking us daily. But I will continue to vigorously defend my record and make the case for change that will improve the lives of all Americans.\
\
I need your help to continue this battle on two separate fronts. Now is the time to step up and own a piece of this campaign.\

Thank you for your support,\
