We are seven days out from making history.
This is the year Texas turns blue up and down the ballot.
We all know it couldn't come at a better or more necessary time. Every one of us has seen the hate and division Donald Trump has put our country through, and the outright harm he's done to Texas families and Texas communities.
After yesterday, we are hurting even more, and I'd be wrong not to acknowledge it. We are one week out from Election Day and the Republican Senate just sold its soul to confirm an extreme right-wing justice to the Supreme Court, through a process so rushed and illegitimate it almost beggars belief. Trump Republicans put Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court to strip millions of Americans of their healthcare. It could not be more clear, more cruel, or more in character.
Today, every single one of us has stepped up to say, "enough." With 38 electoral votes, our state is the path to the presidency. We are going to deliver every one of them to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and break Donald Trump's grip on the presidency once and for all.
But, both of us know this started a long time ago. Texas is turning blue because folks like you have poured your heart and soul into inching us closer, year after year. You never gave up on the dream or on each other. And now, we're finally here.
I am so damn proud of our brilliant, unstoppable team. We are doing the work and the result is going to send shockwaves across this country.
We've made it this far because of you. Our work isn't over yet and with 7 days till election day, we can't rest. That's why I'm asking you personally, can you rush your first $7 contribution of 2020 to the Texas Democratic Party's Get Out The Vote Fund before their critical midnight deadline?

Right now, for the first time in 20 years, Democrats can win a majority in the Texas House -- drawing a decade's worth of fair electoral districts so that Texans can truly choose who represents them.
We can send MJ Hegar to Washington and give Texas a real voice in the Senate.
We can elect a powerhouse slate of Democrats in communities across Texas -- folks who are fighting to serve our communities instead of just pandering to wealth and power.
But make no mistake. Republicans are fighting right now to claw back this election against the tide of change. We have to be the ones who fight harder.
For the next seven days, we have to get as tired as we can pushing as hard as we can to get every last Democrat to the polls. That's how we win Texas and save our country. I'm calling on you today to help us see this through.
Can you donate $7 or whatever you can before midnight?

I've said it before, I'll say it again. I am so damn proud of the work we have done. Let's go finish what we've started.
Thank you,
Beto O'Rourke
