Dear John,



[ [link removed] ]I hope that you can help us with a contribution right now. We are
having tremendous success in voter outreach in Texas, but I need your help
to keep it going.

As I have shared with you in previous emails, our volunteers are making a
record number of voter registration and voter contact phone calls, and the
rate of participation is steadily increasing. For example, the first night
we held a voter registration phone bank, just over 250 volunteers showed
up (virtually, we conduct these phone banks over Zoom).

The next night it was 368. The following night, 523. By the last night of
our voter registration phone bank, 822 people were making phone calls
throughout Texas helping to register Democratic voters.

Ultimately all of those volunteers on all of those phone banks made over
600,000 phone calls to help add net-new voters to the rolls as we seek to
win a Democratic majority in the state house and help Joe Biden become the
first Democrat to win Texas since 1976.

And we’re about to start a new effort, contacting existing voters to get
them to commit to voting for Democrats up and down the ballot. We will
then share that information in the state-wide voter file that Democratic
candidates up and down the ballot can use to give them a competitive edge.
I expect that given the amazing turnout we’ve had for our voter
registration effort so far, that we’ll be successful in reaching hundreds
of thousands of voters in competitive districts throughout Texas.

All of that is good news, and frankly, is far better than I thought we’d
be doing at this point, especially considering that our original plan was
to be out canvassing in person by now. Because the pandemic limited our
ability to physically be with voters, we had to adapt and improvise.

As Teddy Roosevelt said, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you
are.”

That’s us. Using Zoom, dialing software and an army of volunteers to reach
existing voters and register new ones.

[ [link removed] ]I hope that you will continue to support our work by donating today.
Your contribution will fund a small paid team that recruits volunteers and
organizes these outreach efforts as well as the licensing of the dialer
software and the other systems that support what is today the largest
voter registration and voter contact effort taking place in the state of
Texas.

I’m grateful to have your help and promise you that I will make the most
of it.

Sincerely,

Beto
