ABC News' Kate Snow Reports: Members of Senator Hillary Clinton's senior campaign staff have agreed to work without pay for the month of February. Communications Director Howard Wolfson called the move "a show of solidarity with Hillary Clinton".

Campaign Manager Patti Solis Doyle is one of those who will forego a paycheck for the month. Solis Doyle told ABC News she offered the Senator her services for free. She said she was not asked to take a pay cut.

Many of Clinton's top staff, including Solis Doyle and others, have been with the Senator for more than a decade and are fiercely loyal to her.

The staff move to help the campaign save precious resources comes after a big media blitz preceding Super Tuesday -- including a one hour televised interactive town hall meeting on the Hallmark Channel, which set the campaign back millions of dollars, and regular TV ads that totaled more than $8 million over a period of less than two weeks.

Recently, money managers within the Clinton campaign have said they were spending money as fast as they could raise it.

And today, it was revealed that there might have been a shortfall in January, but for a loan made by the candidate herself.

The campaign sent out a plea to donors after Super Tuesday for $3 million and said it actually raised $4 million online the next day. The campaign then doubled its goal, seeking $6 million by midnight Friday night.

On a conference call this afternoon about Latino issues, campaign officials were asked if staff members were still foregoing their paychecks.

Maria Echaveste, a senior adviser to the campaign, said, “The campaign is raising money now, we’re not forgoing salaries.”
