Hey there – we’re emailing to ask for $5.

Here’s why: After two new polls showed Democrat Amy McGrath tied with Mitch McConnell, a group of donors offered to MATCH ALL GIFTS to help us hit our $500,000 mid-month goal and defeat McConnell. But with time running out, we’re still falling short and on track to miss our goal.

Mitch McConnell and his Super PAC are raising record-breaking amounts of money, and they’ve already spent millions attacking Amy McGrath on every TV, radio, computer, and cellphone in Kentucky.

We need to hit this goal if we’re going to have the resources to fight back, but we don’t have special interests writing us million-dollar checks like McConnell does. We rely entirely on grassroots donations from people like you reading emails like this one. That’s why your $5 right now (becomes $10!) is so important.

So before our critical mid-month deadline and before this rare match opportunity expires, we have to ask:

Please, will you chip in $5 or more right now – and get every dollar DOUBLED! – so we can hit our $500,000 mid-month goal and help Amy McGrath defeat Mitch McConnell this November? There’s never been a better time to chip in – your donation today will go TWICE as far to restoring sanity to Washington by sending Mitch packing and taking back the Senate.

This could be the moment we look back to on Election Night and realize it was the beginning of our victory or of our defeat.

Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do,

The Ditch Mitch Fund
