John,
We just got an updated list of who has qualified for the November debate and wanted to share it with you. Out of the top nine candidates in this race, only one has NOT yet qualified.
Take a look at which of the nine have met the DNC’s requirements:
✅Joe Biden
✅Elizabeth Warren
✅Bernie Sanders
✅Pete Buttigieg
✅Kamala Harris
✅Andrew Yang
❌Beto O’Rourke
✅Amy Klobuchar
✅Cory Booker
We can’t let this slide. To state the obvious, we need to get Beto on the debate stage. And we can’t just wait and hope for the best — we have to take this into our own hands. That’s why we’ve put together an aggressive grassroots plan to make it happen. But our ability to carry out each part of this plan depends entirely on how much we raise this week. The less we raise, the more we have to cut from the plan. The more we raise, the more work we can do.
Candidates have until one week before the debate to qualify so we’re starting to run short on time. That’s why we’ve been putting together a plan that combines proven strategies from throughout our entire campaign –– from organizing on the ground everywhere and running digital ads online to getting our message out to as many voters as possible.
At the end of the day today, we’ll decide which of the ideas we can afford to do and which we have to say no to for the week ahead. Since we’re a grassroots campaign that’s powered 100% by people, we can’t rely on big PACs, corporations, lobbyists, or special interests to come in at the last second and get Beto over the line. It’s on us, every single one of us.
Thanks for all you do,
Team Beto
