Greetings!
My opponent just announced raising nearly $1 million during the last quarter - more than tripling what she had raised during the entire rest of the campaign.  

She still hasn’t filed her financial disclosure so we don’t know where the money came from, but we do know she has a lot of it and has been spending it on attack ads.  

We need to respond ASAP, so I’m sorry to have to ask, but I need your help. Will you join the fight to stop her from bringing AOC’s brand of socialism to Florida?
That may sound like hyperbole, but it isn’t. My opponent Pam Keith called AOC’s socialist agenda “inspirational” and she even has a proposal for the government to take over the “production and distribution” of both food and energy in the United States. That’s socialism, plain and simple. 

How will she do this? She wants to raise taxes by an average of at least $3,300 per family and she’s even supported a plan that would result in DOUBLING all income taxes. We simply can’t afford to let that happen.

Our final public financial deadline before the campaign is at the end of the day tomorrow and after that we’ll need to file our financial disclosure - making our fundraising and spending public. This is good for transparency, of course, and it’s also critical that this report shows the strong grassroots support we have.  

If we come up short of meeting our goal, it will show weakness that Nancy Pelosi’s political operatives will be quick to exploit, so we can’t let that happen.  

With just a day left to go, we still need to raise another $26,479. Can I count on you to help us make up the difference?
Friend - all I have ever wanted to do is serve my country, so I am truly sorry to have to send you this email. But with Pam Keith raising nearly $1 million, we need to act fast or we could be at risk of an AOC-inspired socialist takeover in Florida that would mean much higher taxes for all of us.  

That’s why reaching tomorrow’s goal is going to be so crucial. Can I count on you to help us do this today?
Thank you for your urgent support!
