Hi friend, I'm sorry to reach out so early, but I have three quick things for you before our fundraising deadline at midnight: 

1. President Obama just endorsed our campaign because the Senate is on the line here in Ohio.

2. There are only seven days to Election Day, and the newest polls show me losing to my Trump-backed opponent. 

3. We've been outspent 3-to-1, so if we don't meet our critical $500,000 goal tonight, we could hand Ohio – and the Senate – to Republicans. 

So please, friend, I'm asking: Will you rush $5 now to help us pull ahead, win in Ohio, and save the Senate?
