Hi,
This is it. Less than one week out. And I wanted to make sure you saw this message from Beto.
Two years ago, we came within 215,000 votes of electing Beto O'Rourke. That may sound like a lot, but in Texas terms, that's peanuts. And since then, over a million new Texans have registered to vote -- more than five times the number we would have needed to win back then.
Those new voters? Most of them are Democrats. And you'd better believe they're voting.
This is our Texas. This is who we are today, right now. We are the biggest battleground state in the country and we are poised to win. When Texas goes blue -- we won't just beat Trump, we'll defeat Trumpism, itself. We're going to steer our entire country away from the brink -- to put it simply, it's going to be electrifying.
I know y'all are tired. Heck, I'd be shocked if you weren't. You've been doing the impossible and moving mountains for a hell of a long time. You showed up and you stuck with it and you gritted your teeth and dug deep and now, we are inches away from that finish line.
I need to ask you to do it again one more time. You know, when you watch a distance race, the great runners are the ones who ignore their opponents and tune out the noise and focus like a laser on that single objective: crossing that line. And the mark of a winner is that the closer they get, the harder they run. We need to forget about everything but the goal. And we need to push for that line with every scrap of intention we've got.

Subject: This is the year
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
