John, I just got out of a meeting and I’m on the way to another, but I wanted to give you a quick update.
As you know, we’re being outspent. My opponent is gaining in the polls and is within striking distance of defeating us. I hate asking for money, but the truth is, I won’t win this race without your financial support.
If patriots like you didn’t step up, rich donors from California and New York would buy elections across the country, and we’d be in serious trouble. But that’s exactly what’s happening right now in my race, my opponent is being fueled by celebrities and out-of-touch millionaires.
