Yes John, this is going to be one of those emails, but please hear us out:

We know that these messages can be annoying. We understand that, at a moment when so many Montana families are anxious about the future, a fundraising ask isn’t always what you want to see. But the cold, hard truth is that these emails are necessary, John, even when the next election seems far away.

They’re necessary because fighting back at the grassroots level is the most effective way to bring about change.

And they’re necessary because extreme Republicans are willing to spend millions to defeat us — and we can’t simply sit back and let that happen.

John, we are fully aware that these fundraising messages aren’t always exciting. But when ultra-wealthy billionaires are doing everything in their power to defeat us and stack the deck in their favor even further, all of us have to take action — and that’s where you come in.

Before our fundraising deadline at midnight tonight, will you pitch in $5, $25, or whatever you can? We would never expect our supporters to donate to every email we send, but if it's been a while, please know that your donation will truly make a difference for our state.

With gratitude,

Montana Democrats
