I'll be direct, John.
In just a moment, I'm going to ask you to
make a donation to support our efforts to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. We're up against a pressing fundraising deadline, so I hope you'll give me a chance to explain why your support is so critical.
This is the first time in a decade that Democrats have had control of the House, Senate, and the White House. We CANNOT squander this opportunity to create a more equitable and just system for America's working families. That means crushing this pandemic so folks can get back to work. It also means policies that establish a $15 minimum wage, create millions of jobs, and treat healthcare as a right for all.
But here’s the blunt truth: There’s only so much we can do in two years, and this opportunity will have been for nothing if we lose the House or Senate in 2022. As you read this email, Republicans are already laying the groundwork to gerrymander districts and suppress turnout to defeat us.
We can't waste time building the resources to fight back, so I must ask:
We are still $9,119 short of our end-of-month fundraising goal to win key elections up and down the ticket. Will you chip in $3 to become a Founding Donor of Elect More Democrats today? This is urgent.
If you have saved your information with ActBlue express, your donation will process instantly.
I started Elect More Democrats to shine a light on and support Democrats' most important electoral fights across the country. Some of these contests may not get news coverage they deserve, but we can't risk losing ground anywhere if we want to keep making progress for the American people.
In the weeks and months ahead, we look forward to highlighting all the key races that will make or break the Democrats chances. We hope you’ll stay engaged, and if you have ideas for where we should focus our attention, feel free to respond to this email directly.
Thanks in advance for chipping in toward our first major fundraising deadline >>
Mike
