Friend --

I want to be honest with you about the state of this campaign.

While we are growing in the polls, we are still behind many of our opponents in terms of fundraising, staff on the ground, and advertisements on the air and online.

And when Carly put out a call to raise $250,000 within 48 hours to catch up, the response so far has not been what we’d hoped.

I think we can get back on track and hit this goal tonight, but it’s going to take an extraordinary effort from every member on this team to do it.  Can you pitch in before midnight so we can hit our goal?

I’m the husband to an amazing woman and the father of two young boys.

I know the country my sons will grow up in is going to be very different from the one I grew up in, and I want to look back at my life knowing I did everything in my power to create the kind of future our children deserve.  An America of opportunity and abundance.  An America that invests in its people so they can build the lives they want for themselves and their families.

I hope you feel the same and are compelled to give everything you can in this moment so we can build this America together.  Please pitch in now.

This fight is too important to sit back.
