Dear Haruna,

I may be the underdog in this  campaign, running against two candidates with 
more than $200 million between  them – but the real underdogs are the middle 
class and those without a voice in  America today.

They are losing ground while the CEOs of huge corporations  pocket million 
dollar bonuses and corporate lobbyists get their way and promote  their special 
interests in Washington.

While ExxonMobil rakes in record  profits and receives government handouts, 
gas prices are going through the roof,  oil has skyrocketed to $100 a barrel 
and the middle class is paying through the  nose at the pump.

Meanwhile, 200,000 veterans – men and women who proudly  wore America's 
uniform and served with honor on behalf of our country – will  sleep tonight under 
bridges and on grates, ignored and uncared for by their  government.

I know you cannot negotiate with the entrenched, moneyed  interests who are 
strangling our government. You have to fight them and stand up  to them. That 
is what I have done my whole life – and that's exactly what I  intend to do as 
president of the United States. It's why I need your support  today.
 
We can't simply replace a group of corporate Republicans  with a group of 
corporate Democrats and expect change. I've never taken a dime  from Washington 
lobbyists or political action committees. That's why I'm the  candidate of 
change who can take them on – and win for the American  people.

I know who the underdogs are in this fight. I know that the fight  to save 
the middle class will be an epic battle – but I will never give  up.

We're going to take this fight to save the middle class and to speak  up for 
those who have no voice all the way to the convention and to the White  House. 
And we're going to look our children in the eye and tell them, "We left  you 
a better life than we had."

I'm asking you to join me in this epic  battle – a fight to preserve the 
greatness of America.
 
Franklin Roosevelt said, "There is nothing I love so  much as a good fight." 
He spoke for the underdogs and the voiceless of an  earlier generation of 
Americans.

Today, the fight for bold and lasting  change continues. With your help, I 
will fight for the real underdogs of America  every single day.

Sincerely,

--John
