I'll just be blunt, Danielle: I'm about to ask if you can make a donation before tonight's big fundraising deadline. But before I get to all that, I want to talk a little bit about what tonight means for our brand-new campaign. On Monday, I officially announced that I'm running for re-election to the Senate. Now we're up against a big test. After tonight's midnight deadline, we'll tally up all the donations we've received since the beginning of the year, and we'll prepare our quarterly report for the Federal Election Commission (the FEC you've probably seen mentioned in more than a few emails). Then they'll make our report public. The total amount raised matters, yes, but here's the number I'll really have my eye on: The total number of contributions. Because that's the number that shows the breadth of our grassroots campaign. That's the number that shows our strength when we work together, shoulder to shoulder. So if making a financial contribution would make sense right now, could you pitch in $15 or any amount before midnight? Help hit our goal so we can demonstrate the scale of our movement. If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically: | Now, when this report comes out, GOP strategists will dig into the numbers. So will the powerful special interests and their swarms of lobbyists. They'll want to see what they're up against. So how about we give them something to worry about? I'm running for Senate again to keep fighting for working families. To keep taking on big banks, Big Oil, Big Pharma, and all the forces lined up against the big, bold action we need. To keep working alongside you to make real change. We're making our government work for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected — and we're building our grassroots campaign brick by brick, donation by donation. Please pitch in any amount before midnight if you can to help make our first FEC fundraising report as strong as possible — and help power our fight. Thanks for being a part of this, Elizabeth |
