Hey John -- Just wanted to follow up on Joe’s email to you yesterday. He let you know that unless we raise $15,000 before tomorrow at midnight, we might have to cut down our media plan significantly. And, John, he made it clear that in a race as close as ours, we literally can’t afford to fall behind. As this team’s finance director, I wanted to take a step back to talk about what’s at stake when anyone from our campaign reaches out to you about a fundraising goal. Here’s the deal: Every campaign has different revenue streams. What that means is that our specific fundraising asks of you -- our grassroots donors -- are different than those of, say, Gil’s colleagues in the House. I want to make sure that’s clear, John, because I could understand that it’s easy to feel discouraged about the impact of contributing $5 towards a $15,000 goal. But the reason that we come to you with specific goals and challenges is because we know from past data that our grassroots donors have stepped up time after time to help us rapidly build a warchest when we need it most. John, when just a small fraction of everyone who opens this email donates a small amount, we hit our goal. So I’m joining Joe to again ask you to dig deep and donate whatever you can to our Media Buy Fund. Can I count on you to rush us a donation to our Media Buy Fund right now? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.
There’s too much at stake for us to fall behind now, John. Thank you for joining our team in putting in the hard work now to ensure that we continue our path to progress with Gil on the Hill. -- Josh Lorah |
