Friend, I'm sure your inbox is crowded with Cyber Monday deals and early Giving Tuesday messages, so I'll cut to the chase:

I just left a meeting with my team, and we're STILL falling short of our $20,000 end-of-month goal.

I'm worried, friend. We have just days until this urgent deadline, and after Sen. Joe Manchin's announcement that he won't be seeking reelection, our Democratic Senate majority is more tenuous than ever. But when I looked at our top supporters' records, I noticed that I'm missing a donation from you. 

Please, before the month ends: Will you chip in $5 to help us stand up to Mitch McConnell and his special interest allies and defend Democrats' razor-thin majority in the Senate?

Thank you,

Jeanne Shaheen
