Hey there,
It’s been a tremendous few days on the campaign trail since the debate. In the 24 hours after the debate, we raised $1 million -- a true sign that more Americans are beginning to understand that Pete will be a president who can turn the page and bring a polarized country together so we can tackle the issues that are going to be even more urgent than they are now.
It’s pretty amazing -- the community and campaign that you are building. Pete announced his exploratory campaign less than a year ago with 24,000 people on this email list, with little-to-no name recognition outside of our hometown of South Bend. We didn’t know if we’d hit the first donor goals to qualify for the debates.
It took 65,000 donors to qualify for the first one. And honestly, it seemed like a long shot. But we -- you -- mobilized. You talked to your friends and families, and donor by donor, we qualified. And in each debate, Pete not only qualified to be onstage but also, while there, offered a vision that grew our team even more. He demonstrated what we all know: He is the candidate with ideas bold enough to meet the challenges we face and big enough to bring people together to get them done.
I tell you all of this because here’s what it tells us: When you give $3, everything’s possible. We can go all the way -- win the nomination, win the presidency, and, importantly, win a fresh start for our country: [link removed]
As the campaign heats up and we turn toward Iowa in a few months, and New Hampshire right after, we have more momentum than ever. Put another way: Team Pete’s getting stronger, and if we keep it going, we can win the nomination and the presidency.
I’m going to ask you to make your first gift of $3 to the campaign now. Because harnessing the energy we have coming out of the debate is how we make our move in this race.
And it’s important, too, that I tell you what it is your gift will do. Every dollar you give is going to help build a movement to change our politics. We’ll put it to use online, over the airwaves, and person to person on the ground in key states.
We can build strength if we get our next 20,000 donations before midnight Sunday. The sooner support comes, the sooner it’ll make a difference in winning votes and building support. The stakes are too high to give anything less than our all. If you can, please consider making a contribution now: [link removed]
This campaign has succeeded on the strength of broad, enthusiastic grassroots support -- and you are a critical part of that. Thank you.
Mike
