John, it's been a little over a month since we launched the High Fivers Club, and we've been blown away by the number of grassroots supporters who have stepped up to the plate to fight big money with a high five.

What do we mean "with a high five"? Well, there are nearly 1.2 million registered Democrats in Colorado -- what if every single one of them gave just $5 a month to the Colorado Democratic Party (CDP)?

Answer: The CDP would be the best-funded state party in the country -- with zero dollars from corporate PACs and plenty for flipping red seats to blue!

"Why should I give to the Colorado Democrats", you ask? Two reasons!

• The CDP is the central base that supports volunteer recruitment, training candidates, and helping county parties win elections -- and doing that against the Republicans' money machine is tough. While the DNC provides some limited funds, the reality is it is up to us to raise our own money so we can support Dems running for office in Colorado.

• The CDP is neutral in primaries -- but once the Democratic nominee has emerged, we connect our vast network of volunteers to them so they can knock on more doors than the Republicans and win elections.

Bottomline: The Republicans have a LOT of big money donors coming to their aid because they're scared of a 2020 Blue Wave. I know it sounds crazy, but the math shows if regular people like us come together and give just $5 a month, we'll have the resources to out-organize the Colorado Republicans, defeat the big money, make Colorado go blue again in 2020!

So, how about it John? Will you click the logo and join the High Fivers Club?

Thanks for joining! High Five!
