This isn't the email I wanted to send you, John.

We wrote to you a few days ago to let you know that we were still short of meeting our digital war chest goal in order to invest in the technology and tools we need to compete with our Republican opponent.

And, John, we’re behind where we need to be. If you’re able to at this time, can you rush a donation of any amount immediately?

Gil’s opponent Young Kim isn’t shy about the money she’s raising from corporate PACs and Republican interests. From banking industry PACs to Citizens United -- who made unlimited SuperPAC spending possible to begin with -- she’s being bankrolled by the very same corporate interests whose power our campaign is fighting to curb.

John, their money makes her a formidable opponent. If we’re to make progress on ending corporate influence on our elections, we can’t allow a corporate-backed Republican to win this seat. And unless we have your support, she has a good shot at winning in November.

Since we’re competing against these special interests with the help of small-dollar donations from people like you, we need your support more than ever. Help us catch up to our mid-month fundraising projections by chipping in -- we can’t afford to fall behind.
