Tonight, we close the books on the last official FEC fundraising deadline before we know who our opponent will be in the November election.

This isn't one of those quarterly FEC deadlines we email about, but it is an official deadline — and probably the most important of the campaign.

Here's why:

After July 17th, we're legally required to report what we've raised and how much money we have in the bank since our last deadline on June 30th. Same for our eventual opponent.

Our report will give super PACs a glimpse at the financial strength of our campaign just before we formally enter the general election, and they will use that information when deciding whether or not to run attack ads against us, or if they should move on to another race.

We want to file as strong a report as we possibly can, but with only 17 days between deadlines, that’s going to require a lot of support from a whole bunch of people giving whatever they can.

I wish we didn't have to make these requests this often via email, but the truth is it is where a majority of the donations we receive come from. So, I am asking:

Can I count on you to contribute $10 to my campaign for U.S. Senate in Michigan and Blue Amp Action before the final FEC fundraising deadline of the primary campaign comes to a close tonight?

 

Thank you, 

Elissa

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
