Friend, I was hoping I wouldn't have to send this message. 

Yesterday, I called on this powerful community to chip in and help me get back on track for the month. I set a goal to receive grassroots donations from 1,000 supporters – and the initial response was overwhelming.

Within just hours of sending out that message, we had already received hundreds of donations from across our nation. I was hopeful that we would not only hit but surpass our goal.

And then, out of nowhere, donations came to a standstill. I'll be honest, friend: I'm disappointed that we're on the verge of falling short, but I know we can get there with one last push. That's why, with only hours left to go, I'm personally asking you to help us close the gap.

Friend, I need only 149 more people to make a donation now to help us hit our donor goal, so please: Will you donate any amount before 11:59 p.m. to help me hit my 1,000 Team BRL supporter goal and keep our Senate blue?

Con gratitud,

Ben Ray
