Jack, usually we don't send these sorts of emails until the end of the month, but this is too important.

Fundraising has fallen behind this month. This comes on the heels of two months where we struggled to make goals and even came up a little short. Simply put: We need your help. Can you rush a donation of $5 right now?

PLEASE DONATE
Ad revenue alone doesn't support Daily Kos operations—and hasn't for more than a decade now. In that time, we've come to rely on donations from readers like you to make ends meet. In fact, donations of just a few bucks at a time are more than 60 percent of our revenue. That's what makes this downturn so scary.

Once upon a time, we might expect to see an increase in donations in an election year, but now campaigns send so many emails that it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. So, if you've read this far, then please:

Click here to donate $5 right now.

PLEASE DONATE
Thank you,
