Friends -
Our campaign has sent a lot of fundraising emails lately -- more than I wish we had to send. So I wanted to take a moment to explain what these messages mean to our campaign, and why you're seeing more of them from us (and likely many others) than usual.
Tomorrow we close the books on the first official quarterly FEC fundraising deadline of our campaign for Senate.
When it ends, we all report how much money we've raised, and the press, our opponents, and even potential allies will scrutinize those results with a fine-tooth comb.
What we report is widely viewed as an indicator of our campaign's strength. The numbers have the ability to invite attacks if opponents think we are weak, or encourage our allies to do more to help us win if they are strong.
But the numbers we want to reach are also very real goals. They are numbers we need to reach in order to win.
So when you see us rising in the polls, when you see us release our ads, and when you see us WIN this race and hopefully hold the Senate, please know emails like this and the response to them are a huge part of how it happens.
Can you please use this link to split $20 (or more if you can) between my campaign for Senate in Michigan and Tim Kaine's campaign for Senate in Virginia? I would not ask if these emails and the response to them were not so important to our campaign. [[link removed]]
