Ready for some more propaganda in the form of emails from the DNC? Here goes:
Donna --As a member of the House Budget Committee, I've seen firsthand just how extreme Paul Ryan is, so I'm not going to mince words: Paul Ryan in the White House would be a nightmare.
Over the last two years, we've seen an unprecedented number of attacks on a woman's right to make her own health care decisions -- and Congressman Ryan has been at the forefront of all of them.
He wants to end Medicare as we know it. He co-sponsored a radical "personhood" bill that could have banned the birth control pill, in vitro fertilization, and all abortions -- even in cases of rape or incest. What's more? He wants to allow states to criminally prosecute women who choose to have abortions and the doctors who perform them.
We cannot afford to let this man be a heartbeat away from the presidency. It's up to us to do everything we can to give Democrats the resources to defeat the Romney-Ryan campaign and Republicans across the board in November.
Donate $3 or whatever you can today to stand up for the right of women to make their own decisions -- and to keep Paul Ryan and other Republicans from taking that right away:

The DNC didn't stop, so I'll keep listing more of their emails.
Donna --I've got some big news for you.
In less than a month, you could be sitting with First Lady Michelle Obama during President Obama's acceptance speech at this year's Democratic National Convention -- and you can meet the President, too.
That's right. You and a guest could win a free flight to Charlotte, hotel accommodations, VIP passes for the convention, and on the night of President Obama's speech you'll be the personal guests of the First Lady.
What are you waiting for?
Donate $3 or whatever you can today to support Democrats and you'll be automatically entered for the chance to win this incredible trip.
In his speech, the President is going to share his vision for America and exactly what's at stake in November -- how we have the choice to continue to move forward or go back to the same failed policies of the past. The President knows that he can't do this alone -- that all of us have to come together if we're going to win on Election Day.
That's why the First Lady wants to share this experience with a few grassroots supporters like you, who are working hard and pitching in what you can to make sure we win in November.
Donate $3 or whatever you can today and be automatically entered for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity:

There are still more emails to read, so here is another one:

Four years ago, Barack stood on a stage at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. He accepted our party's nomination, and then told our country what he intended to do as President.
Let's think for a second about what's happened since then.
Our businesses have added 4.5 million jobs in the last 29 months. The typical middle-class family has saved $3,600 in tax cuts over his first term. We passed historic health care reform. The war in Iraq has ended. It's now easier for women to fight for equal pay for equal work. And gay and lesbian service members can no longer be denied a place in our nation's military because of who they are or who they love.
But we've got to finish what we started. Soon we're gathering for our convention in Charlotte -- and Barack and I would like to meet a few of you there.
Pitch in $3 or whatever you can to help build this campaign in these last 82 days -- and you'll be automatically entered to be our personal guest in Charlotte.
This is a pretty amazing opportunity. The campaign will fly you and a guest to Charlotte and cover your hotel for the three nights you're there. And each night, you'll get some of the best seats in the house to watch the big speeches.
You'll meet Barack, and during his speech on Thursday night, I'd like you to sit with me.
This is going to be an amazing event for our campaign. There is truly only one like it.
So enter for your chance to join us now -- and I hope we'll see you in Charlotte in a few weeks:

Are you as fired up as I am?
Michelle
How about another one? I've hardly made a dent in all of the emails which Democrats have sent to me.

Four years ago, I watched Barack Obama accept the Democratic Party's nomination to run for president of the United States at the Democratic convention.
I couldn't have been more proud -- of Barack, of my party, and of my country. And okay, I might have cried a little when he spoke.
I can't wait to see what happens at the convention this year. I know that there will be great speakers and lots of excited Democrats ready to win in November. But what I think is the neatest part of this is that one lucky person and their guest are going to have the chance to fly out to the convention and meet my good friends, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
Chip in $3 or whatever you can today to be automatically entered for the chance to win this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We'll fly you both out to Charlotte and put you up for three days -- and you'll get VIP passes to the convention. And here's the best part: On the night of President Obama's speech, you'll get to sit in the First Lady's section and witness history in the making.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but you deserve it. Democrats like you have been doing a lot to help us win in November. But our work is far from over.
We know that the only way that Democrats will overcome the record spending on the other side is if we all band together to give our candidates across the country the resources they need to win on Election Day.
So donate $3 or whatever you can today to help us win in November -- and you'll be automatically entered for a free trip to the convention in Charlotte (not to mention the chance to meet the First Lady and the President). I'm excited just thinking about it!
Get your name in the hat today:

Thanks,

P.S. -- Election Day is closer than you think. Donate $3 or whatever you can today to help us cross the finish line and you'll be automatically entered to win.
We're not finished yet!

I just got back from Iowa, where we are being outspent 2 to 1 on the air. Voters there mentioned it to me more than once.
We expect Mitt Romney and the Republicans to outspend us.
What I will not abide is getting outspent by a margin that negates all the hard work our volunteers are doing -- talking to voters, knocking on doors, making calls.
We are in control of that outcome, but our time to close the gap is dwindling. After three consecutive months of being significantly outraised, it couldn't be more urgent.
Will you make a donation of $3 or more?
https://my.democrats.org/
If we win this election, it will be because of what you did.
I don't get to tell you enough how grateful I am.
Thank you,
Barack
P.S. -- In a few weeks, I'll accept our party's nomination for president onstage in Charlotte, North Carolina. I wouldn't be there without you. Any donation you make today automatically enters you and a guest for a chance to join me and Michelle as VIP guests of the convention. Hope to see you there.
Let's add one more to this post:
Donna --In a year that has brought us no shortage of stunningly backward statements from Republicans on issues affecting women's health, the GOP Senate nominee from Missouri may have just taken the cake.
This morning, Rep. Todd Akin, explaining his opposition to abortion even in cases of rape, said that victims of "legitimate rape" don't get pregnant because "the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
What exactly, Rep. Akin, is an "illegitimate" rape? And what are these unnamed "ways" women have of avoiding pregnancy after being (legitimately) raped?
Now, Akin's choice of words isn't the real issue here. The real issue is a Republican party -- led by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan -- whose policies on women and their health are dangerously wrong.
I'm outraged at the Republicans trying to take women back to the dark ages -- if you agree, join me in taking a stand for women.
Really, it's deeply concerning that Republicans continue to support legislation that is, quite literally, dangerous for women.
Mitt Romney famously says he would "get rid of" federal funding for Planned Parenthood if he had the chance. His running mate, Paul Ryan, was one of more than 200 Republican cosponsors of a piece of legislation that would have narrowed the definition of rape.
Can you imagine -- the same Republican House that refuses to pass a jobs bill jumped at the opportunity to make life harder for victims of rape?
And what do Romney and Ryan think of Akin's latest statement? They've been trying to distance themselves from it -- but Congressman Ryan has already partnered with Akin on a whole host of issues that restrict women's ability to make their own health care decisions.
This kind of "leadership" is dangerously wrong for women -- and I can't sit by and watch as these out of touch Republicans like Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and Todd Akin continue to roll back women's rights.
It's time for us to move forward -- not back -- on women's rights. Take a stand for women now:
