John,

I'm personally asking you tonight to chip in $5 to help me reach our $50,000 mid-month goal by tomorrow.

Here's why this race matters beyond Montana. This Senate seat was handed to Kurt Alme by four men, eight minutes before the filing deadline, so that no other Montanan ever got a say. It's the clearest example in the country of politicians deciding an election before voters do.

With your help, we can prove the opposite: that in Montana, voters, not party bosses, still decide who represents them. Chip in $5 tonight to help us hit this goal and keep our independent campaign on track.

Right now we have a real opportunity to win this race and shock the country on November 3rd.

The most recent independent poll has me gaining faster than any candidate in this race, winning Montana's largest voting bloc — independents — outright. But the only way we close the gap is together, and we have 50 days to do it.

Since day one, I’ve run this campaign the way Montana would want it run: with grassroots support from people like you. And I'll be honest about what that means. A truly independent Senator has to start by representing the people, not a party committee or special interests.

Tomorrow's mid-month goal is one of the last real markers before the sprint to November, and it’s extremely important to keeping us on track and ensuring we have the resources to run a winning campaign. Hitting it means keeping the campaign funded through the final weeks that will decide this Senate seat.

So if you're able, will you chip in $5 or more before tomorrow’s deadline?
