John,

We’re less than 9 weeks away from Election Day, so I’m sure your inbox is full of messages from political candidates and orgs right now. I’m sorry to add to the pile, but I wouldn’t be sending you this email if it weren’t necessary.

Donald and his allies have a network of dark money groups and billionaires that they can reach out to in order to secure funding for Republican campaigns. Everyday citizens like you and me don’t have CEOs of the biggest corporations on speed dial, so we have to work a lot harder to ensure we have the resources to defeat extremism this November — and we have to send a lot of emails to try to boost small-dollar contributions that are critical to funding our operations.

So, John, I’m reaching out to see if there’s anything I could say to convince you to chip in $5 [[link removed]] to our weekly fundraising goal.

What if I told you that your $5 could help save our democracy? Would that seem hyperbolic?

What if I told you that Republicans only need to win two seats to take back control of the Senate — our last line of defense against a second Donald term? And that your gift of $5 will help us reach the eyes and ears of voters in battleground Senate races like Ohio, Montana, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona?

What if I told you that Democrats only need to flip four seats to win back the House — which would allow Democrats to advance our most important legislative priorities should we hold the Senate and put Kamala in the White House? And that your $5 contribution will help us support Congressional candidates committed to expanding voting rights and targeting Republicans who refused to certify the 2020 election?

So when I say that your $5 could help save our democracy, I do mean it — we’re all one drop in a great ocean of people who are committed to taking action to put our nation back on the right course. And together, we’re going to make waves at the ballot box this Election Day.

Let's do this,

Dr. Mary L. Trump
