Hey John,

I hate to reach out on the weekend, but this couldn’t wait.

Republicans are already attacking me on TV—a full six months earlier than the last election. That means we need even more resources at this moment to respond.

We’re proudly funded by tens of thousands of grassroots supporters chipping in a few bucks when they can. We immediately put these dollars to work mobilizing supporters, registering Montanans to vote, and fighting back against Mitch McConnell’s misleading attacks. If we want to keep pace in this ultra-competitive race, we have to catch up now.

Asking for money is my least favorite part of the job, just ask my team. But I know it’s essential to winning this race and continuing to work on the issues that really matter. So I hope you’ll bear with me when I ask:

Can you chip in any amount that feels right to you today to help us hit our goal? Your donation will be split between my campaign and the Voter Protection Project. It truly does make a difference in a people-powered campaign like ours.

Thanks so much. I’ll let you get back to enjoying your Sunday.

—Jon
