I’m going to be totally, 100% honest, with you, team:

In the grand scheme of things, your $5 or $10 donation is a drop in the bucket.

Now, that might sound like I’m not grateful for your support. But I assure you, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Because, yes, each small-dollar donation is a drop in the bucket…but, well, that’s how buckets are filled: one drop at a time.

I’m immensely grateful for each and every one of those drops.

So while I can’t promise that your $5 or $10 donation to our campaign is going to end the climate crisis, stop gun violence, or save democracy, I can promise that it will help keep responsible people in public office. And really, that’s half the battle.

So please, can I count on you to drop $5 or $10 in our bucket before our critical End-of-Month fundraising deadline at midnight tonight?

Gratefully,
Sean Casten
