$22.44.

That's the average grassroots contribution to our campaign, John.

That's $5 here from a retired schoolteacher and $40 there from a union electrician.

It's folks like you giving a little bit when they can -- despite these tough times.

It's the kind of donation that makes this team so strong.

Unlike our opponent, we don't take money from corporate PACs or D.C. lobbyists -- big money special interests who can write a check and donate thousands of dollars at the drop of a hat and expect something back in return. Now, that rule of ours can make fundraising harder, but it's the right way to win this race.

Our grassroots donors are truly the power behind this movement, and I'm so grateful to have so many of you with me in the fight to elect a real leader for CA-25 -- someone who represents the people, not powerful party leaders.

John, a new poll shows us just one point behind our opponent. We have the people behind us, and we know we can win. Chip in $5 or more right now to help this team pull ahead.

I want the folks of our district to know that my vote isn't for sale -- and that I don't believe that anyone should be able to buy their way into Congress thanks to corporate PAC money.

I'm proud that this is the way we're running our campaign, John, and I know we can win in November. After all, there now are 30,000 more registered Democrats in this district than Republicans, and each and every one of them is ready to turn CA-25 blue.

But our opponent has special-interest donors on his side -- like the NRCC, which just dumped more than $800,000 into this district to prop up his campaign. If we're going to fight back, this grassroots team needs your support now to take on anything that comes our way -- and turn the momentum we have built into a win on Election Day.

Please, click the link below to make a contribution of $5 -- or $22.44! -- today.
