John, When I decided to run for Congress again, some people thought I was nuts for taking on the establishment and the machine a second time. But I’m doing this because I believe that Illinois’ 3rd District deserves a representative who won’t sell us out to the highest bidder, and I’m betting the people of this district believe that too. Last cycle, we fell just 2% short -- 2,145 votes shy -- of pulling off an incredible victory against Dan Lipinski. So my team knows that if we want to win, we’ve got to reach as many voters as possible. We’ve set monthly voter contact goals to keep us on track to win -- we’re going to need folks to help knock doors and talk to voters, but you can help today to take this program to another level. The best way to make sure we have the operation that will hit our voter contact goals every single month is to become a monthly donor to this campaign. These recurring donations help us plan things in advance. They let us set smart, aggressive budgets to meet our ambitious goals. Monthly contributions allow us not only to sustain this operation, but to grow it. And if we’re going to beat a seven-term incumbent with a political machine behind him and money flowing in from special interests, we need to be able to count on as much ongoing grassroots support as possible. I’m asking you right now to chip in a little each month and help our campaign reach out voter contact goals. Thank you so much, Marie
