John,

We’ll get straight to the point: We are about to ask if you can make a donation to help Dan Osborn defeat Republican Senator Deb Fischer in Nebraska before his first federally-mandated FEC fundraising deadline of the General Election at midnight on Sunday.

But first, please give us a moment to explain why this first FEC deadline in particular is so important.

After Sunday, Dan’s campaign against Republican Deb Fischer is required by federal law to pull together a report of how much we’ve raised and from how many people. That report will then become public.

Reporters and political pundits will dig into our report, and they’ll use our numbers to judge the size and the strength of our people-powered campaign. But it’s not just reporters who will be looking at our FEC fundraising report.

Mitch McConnell and his Super PACs are going to be poring over our numbers to see if Deb Fischer is in as much danger as the latest polls show she is. The national Democratic party, the national Republican party, and all of the outside groups are going to be looking to see if there is enough grassroots support that they should prioritize Dan’s campaign and Nebraska’s critical Senate race as well.

And this is the last chance for grassroots donors like you to show Dan Osborn that you are 100% in and behind him to help him defeat Republican Deb Fischer and win this critical Senate seat in November.

We’re about to be under a microscope unlike ever before, so we need a show of financial strength unlike we’ve ever had.

That’s why we have set our biggest fundraising goal ever: Raising $1 million from grassroots donors before this FEC deadline to show reporters, Mitch McConnell, the Super PACs, and the entire Democratic and Republican establishment that we are all-in to defeat Republican Deb Fischer and flip this Senate seat.

It’s a big goal, we know. But that’s how important things are accomplished: By setting big goals and working together to hit them. We’re so close to hitting this big goal, and with your support now, we’ll be able to show everyone the strength of our campaign and help Dan Osborn defeat Republican Deb Fischer this November.

Dan Osborn isn’t rich. He isn’t taking money from corporate PACs or special interests like Deb Fischer is. Instead, he’s building a campaign funded entirely by grassroots donors like you. People from all over the country who read emails like this one and give what they can afford, when they can afford to.

Please, if you are able to, will you click here right now and make a donation before Dan’s first federally-mandated FEC deadline of the General Election at midnight Sunday to help us hit this huge goal and defeat Republican Deb Fischer? Every dollar you give now will go directly to Dan Osborn’s campaign to flip this seat and become the 51st vote in the Senate for working people.

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Let’s show reporters, national Democrats and national Republicans, Mitch McConnell, and all his Super PACs that we are 100% committed to defeating Deb Fischer.

We can do this – together.

Thank you for always having Dan’s back,

Team Osborn
