Dear John,
I'll cut right to the chase: I'm writing to you today to ask you to make a donation to CitizenGO. We need help to meet our fundraising goal for this year. Right now, we are $315,000 behind our goal. We need to make up the shortfall by the end of August or we will have to make cutbacks in critical programs.
This year has been an all-out sprint. From the ideological attacks made radical gender activists to continuous blasphemous offenses to religious sentiments. From defending Tafida's life and denouncing the LGBT takeover of the Walt Disney Company, to campaigning to stop a harmful sex education curriculum in public schools aimed at children. Overall, while LGBT, cultural Marxist, pro-abortion, and anti-value lobbies have done tremendous damage, we should all be proud of what we have accomplished together to stop their agenda.
In many ways, the radical left met organized resistance to its agenda for the first time, and you are at the front of this resistance with CitizenGO!
But as intense as the first part of 2019 was, the next few months will be even more consequential. The groundwork we lay over the next five months will determine whether we're able to run more impactful and effective campaigns in the future.
That's why I'm writing to you with an important request. As I said, I need to raise $315,000 by the end of the month. In addition, it is important for us to raise enough funds to rebuild our war chest for the months ahead. Will you chip in?
Yes, I will help with $15 <[link removed]>
Yes, I will help with $35 <[link removed]>
Yes, I will help with $50 <[link removed]>
Yes, I will help with MORE <[link removed]>
Here are a few of the campaigns we participated in during the first part of the year:
- We successfully stopped the publication of the blasphemous “Second Coming” comic that featured Jesus Christ as a clueless superhero sidekick.
- We helped raise awareness about a London Hospital that will not allow Tafida’s parents to take their daughter to another hospital for treatment, and we are mounting pressure before the Court hearing that will take place in September.
- The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women was once again co-opted by the left to push abortion and gender ideology, and we pushed back! We put boots on the ground at the UN, parked a bus depicting an unborn baby at the UN headquarters, and lobbied representatives of many countries.
- In one week, we collected almost 400,000 signatures against the celebration of a “Pride” Parade in Disneyland, Paris. We are still running a large-scale campaign demanding that Disney stop LGBT and gender indoctrination.
- We are taking action to support courageous projects like the “Unplanned” documentary that shows the horror of abortion.
- We are involved in several campaigns addressed to powerful multinational institutions (such as Netflix, FIFA, and Amazon). These institutions are caving to politically correct dogmas and supporting gender ideology and LGTB propaganda and anti-life campaigns.
- We are working with parents in many states to stop changes in their child's curriculum that promote comprehensive sexuality education.
- Because of these powerful campaigns, we have faced persistent attacks by the left, through its media weapon OpenDemocracy (funded by George Soros), and through persistent and well-funded hacker attacks (the last attack occurred just a few days ago).
We need to raise funds so that we can continue working effectively and make an impact on these campaigns. Once we do so, I’ll feel more comfortable greenlighting the ambitious projects our campaigners want to participate in during the rest of the year to take on these important fights. Will you chip in?
Yes, I will help with $15 <[link removed]>
Yes, I will help with $35 <[link removed]>

Our campaigns team is cooking up truly exciting plans:
- CitizenGO can rapidly and effectively reach more than 15 million members all over the world with our action alerts, flooding decision-makers with emails, text messages, and calls, and mobilizing flash-mob actions in rapid response moments. But this requires us to maintain an infrastructure with staff and volunteer leaders. As you can imagine, we have to pay for the emails we send.
- We are gearing up for a major global mobilization including rallies, days of action, signature deliveries, and advertising campaigns to generate political impact around the world.
- We have plans to bring your voice wherever it is needed to defend and promote your values, including activities like coalition building with other organizations, meetings with politicians and decision-makers, activities with the media, and networking.
Those are just a few highlights. When we sit down to decide how to spend our budget, we don’t want to cut any of these ambitious activities… Instead, we want to say yes to all of them!
But we can't do that without your help. Will you chip in to help us, so that we can restock our war chest to support our activities for the rest of the year?
Yes, I will help with $15 <[link removed]>
Yes, I will help with $35 <[link removed]>
Yes, I will help with $50 <[link removed]>
Yes, I will help with MORE <[link removed]>
Thank you,
Gregory Mertz and the entire CitizenGO team

If you're going to contribute to help us launch all the campaigns we have planned, do so now before closing this email.
Currently, I need to raise $315,000 by the end of the month or face cutbacks in core programs. I want to keep the commitment CitizenGO set for ourselves for 2019: “That we will always be there, wherever and whenever necessary, on the ball. We will react quickly and firmly to every attack on life, family, faith, and freedom in 2019.”
This will require us to stay alert and work on many fronts at once. Right now, we don't have enough funds to tackle all our campaigns and achieve a notable impact with them.
