John, we sent around a note late last night. It’s pretty important and we wanted to make sure you saw it. We’re raising money for the Democrat running against the Texas Republican who made a death threat to Beto.

Subject: Death threats
John,
- Texas lawmaker Briscoe Cain tweeted a death threat at Beto after Thursday night’s debate.
- Twitter removed it and we reported him to the FBI.
- But then — and this is truly unbelievable — Fox News invited Cain to be on prime time TV last night so he could joke around about the death threat and raise money for his campaign. Absolutely despicable.
So here’s what we’re going to do: We’re going to raise a bunch of money today for the Democrat running against Cain, Josh Markle. We need ALL hands on deck because Cain probably raised tens of thousands of dollars for his campaign last night on Fox News.
Last year, Briscoe Cain ran completely unopposed. This time, we have a Democrat running to defeat him. Josh served in the Air Force before moving to the Houston area to pursue computer science. He now works for a sign language interpreting agency that serves the deaf community of Southeast Texas.
The more money we can raise for Josh today, the stronger and clearer our message to Cain becomes. So please, make your best donation right now.
Thanks everyone for stepping up in this moment… it’s hugely important.
- Team Beto
