Hi John,
Did you get a chance to read President Obama’s email to you about the Democratic Unity Fund? We’re facing our first FEC deadline of the general election tonight, and it’s crucial we put our best foot forward as we take on Donald Trump and the GOP’s fundraising machine.
If just 23 more donors from Washington contribute before midnight, we can meet our end-of-month goal. Can President Obama and I count on you to donate your first $7 to the Democratic Unity Fund before tonight's deadline?
In unity,
Tom

John,
We’re 195 days out from the most important election of our lifetimes, so I’m asking you to join me in committing to party unity.
Our country’s future hangs on this election. Our chance at putting a Democrat in the White House, flipping the Senate, and expanding our House majority all depends on having the necessary resources to win.
That’s why I launched the Democratic Unity Fund in partnership with the DNC. Our candidates will need the full backing of a strong Democratic Party this year -- and that simply can’t happen overnight. The DNC is already hiring and training organizers and upgrading their tech and data infrastructure, but that work must be expanded to build the kind of operation our candidates need to win.
John, will you join me by making your first $7 donation directly to the fund today? Joe Biden, who I've proudly endorsed for president of the United States, and Democrats nationwide are counting on early investment from strong supporters like you.
This crisis has reminded us that good government matters. That facts and science matter. That the rule of law matters. That we must elect leaders who are informed and honest, and seek to bring people together instead of drive them apart. That, in other words, elections matter.
I started my career as an organizer, so I know just how powerful a force we can be if we work together. We are facing some of the greatest challenges of our generation right now, but we have each other, John. I have no doubt in my mind of what we can accomplish together. That's the driving idea behind the Democratic Unity Fund, and why I'm asking you for your support today:
Make your first $7 donation to the Democratic Unity Fund to help elect presumptive nominee Joe Biden and Democrats nationwide. Our candidates at every level are doing everything they can to win in November -- but no candidate can get there alone. They're counting not just on our votes, but on our early and consistent support.
Thank you for your support,
Barack Obama
P.S. Throughout all his trials, Joe Biden has never once forgotten the values or the moral fiber that his parents passed on to him and that made him who he is. He has all the qualities we need in a president right now -- but he can't win without your help, John. Join me in supporting Joe Biden and Democrats nationwide by making a $7 donation to the Democratic Unity Fund.
