Jack, June has been a difficult month in a series of difficult months. I'm afraid that it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Fundraising has come to make up a supermajority of Daily Kos's income—more than 60 percent, in fact—but we slipped behind our goals in the spring. This is a major cause for concern because it's June, which is the end of the fundraising quarter for political campaigns. That means people's email inboxes are about to get SLAMMED with emails over the next few days, making it even harder for us to make up the gap. That's why I'm writing to you now.

Please, Jack, can you donate $5 to help close our fundraising gap if you haven't already? It would mean SO MUCH.

PLEASE DONATE
Thank you,
Michael Langenmayr, Daily Kos

Jack, Daily Kos fundraising has been lagging so far this year. This is really bad news.

Two of our three major revenue streams—advertising and list-building, in which Democratic and progressive groups pay to invite our readers to join their campaigns—have dropped off in recent years. Thankfully, grassroots donations of just a few dollars from people like you went a long way to make up the gap. Now, though, fundraising too has fallen behind. That means we need your help now more than ever.

Donations of just a few bucks at a time make more than HALF of Daily Kos's revenue. We literally couldn't do the work we do without you. That's why I'm asking you to donate $5 right now to support our work.

PLEASE DONATE
Thank you,
Michael Langenmayr, Daily Kos
