John,
Here’s the scoop: A Republican-funded Super PAC called AIPAC is threatening to throw down a whopping **$100 MILLION** to try and stop our friend Summer and all the good stuff our movement has been fighting for. 😱 Yep, you read that right. That’s a whole lot of zeroes!
Listen, we know we ask a lot. But imagine the look on their faces when they see what we can do with just a little bit from a lot of people. It’s not just about winning – it’s about showing that heart beats money any day of the week. ❤️💪
The truth is that our campaign is powered by the people — it’s FOR you and BY you. This ensures transparency and proves that our movement remains pure and focused on the real issues that affect our communities. However, this also means we rely heavily on individual small dollar contributions from supporters like you. You are our strength, our voice, and our power.
Here’s a breakdown of how your donations make ALL the difference! This is what it will take to win our next election in only 47 days:
$40,000 to send out a mailer: This amount allows us to design, print, and distribute informative mailers to tens of thousands of homes across our district – the same homes receiving mailers from our opponents with racist claims and baseless lies. These mailers are a direct line to voters, providing them with THE TRUTH about what Summer stands for, upcoming events, and how they can get involved in the campaign.
$500,000 to get up on TV: Securing television spots, especially in prime viewing times, requires a lot of cash. With our opponents heavily targeting Summer on TV, this $500,000 enables us to produce high-quality ads that stand out to viewers. These ads are CRUCIAL for increasing Summer's visibility, countering misinformation from opponents, and clearly communicating her vision and values to the people.
$50,000 sent in text to reach voters: With $50,000, we can launch a text messaging campaign to connect directly with voters. This allows us to reach people instantly, providing updates about the campaign, reminding them of key voting dates, and mobilizing support. This money helps us reach a large number of voters right at their fingertips, making it easier to encourage participation and rally support for Summer!
But beyond these numbers, your support fuels the people power that no amount of money can buy. From organizing our community of volunteers and canvassers to hosting events that solidify our base, your donations empower us to keep growing, to keep fighting, and to keep delivering for the people in our communities.
Remember, what we’re building here is something special, and it requires significant resources to compete with the forces who are against us. But together, we can overcome it. Your help today, no matter the amount, is an investment in a future where people power win over corporate interests.
As we move forward, let’s remind ourselves of the power of our collective action. Your support has never been more crucial. Will you stand with Summer and donate today to help us meet our goals and fight back against the $100 million onslaught?
Together, we are unstoppable. Thank you for your unwavering support and for being a part of this movement.
In solidarity,
Team Summer Lee
