John --
I know you've received a lot of emails from our team lately, but I just had to follow up on my note from Wednesday about Joe Biden selecting Kamala Harris as his running mate.
Since Tuesday's announcement, our party has seen an overwhelming flood of support for the Biden-Harris ticket, with tens of thousands of supporters chipping in to become Full-Ticket Founding Donors.
As one of our most dedicated supporters, I was a bit surprised to see that you hadn't joined that list yet, so I wanted to circle back: Would you donate $7 to become a Full-Ticket Founding Donor? I know your name belongs on this list, so I hope you'll throw your full support behind the Biden-Harris ticket and Democratic candidates nationwide before the week is out.
Thanks for hearing me out,
Tom

Subject: Please, John: Donate to become a Full-Ticket Founding Donor
John, I need to make sure you've heard this incredible, breaking news: Kamala Harris has officially joined the Democratic ticket as Joe Biden's Vice Presidential nominee. Now is the time to come together and throw our strong, united support behind the entire Democratic ticket, which is why I'm asking you to become a Full-Ticket Founding Donor right now.
Now that our full presidential ticket is finalized, it's more vital than ever that we give Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and Democrats all across the country the resources they need to tackle this brand-new chapter of the race. The battle for the soul of our nation will only get tougher from here, John, which is why we need as many people on this team as possible to support critical organizing, tech, and get-out-the-vote efforts while there's still enough time left to continue to rapidly scale up that work.

Full-Ticket Founding Donor Status: No -- not yet!
Will you donate $7 to become a Full-Ticket Founding Donor today? Now that Kamala Harris has teamed up with Joe Biden on the official Democratic ticket, we must urgently raise the resources to power them and down-ballot Democrats through this final chapter of the election of our lifetimes.
Let me explain exactly why joining the ranks of our party's Full-Ticket Founding Donors is so consequential to this race, John:
As soon as the announcement was made that Kamala Harris would become Joe Biden's running mate, Trump's campaign and the RNC began their siege of baseless, misleading smears against her and her record. We simply can't afford to let those ugly attacks go unanswered so close to when voters begin casting their ballots, so we must be prepared to build on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's momentum as we inch closer to Election Day -- especially as Republicans try to tear them down.
This race is shaping up to be one of the most challenging, most expensive presidential races in the history of our country, so I'm not exaggerating when I say that every ounce of support from now until November 3 will make an impact.
Donate $7 to become a Full-Ticket Founding Donor right now. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris -- plus thousands of Democratic candidates down the ballot -- are counting on every single member of this team to step up and support this fight.
In unity,
Tom

P.S. Becoming a Full-Ticket Founding Donor at this crucial turning point in the race will give Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats everywhere the best possible chances of winning. But without the urgent support of this team, those odds of victory could begin to slip away. With just over three months left to help Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and candidates everywhere win their races, I hope you'll donate $7 to cement your status as a Full-Ticket Founding Donor today.
