Friend: With just one day left before our final FEC end-of-quarter deadline of the year, my team just let me know that we're still falling short of our critical goal. If you'll keep reading, I'd like to tell you why it's so important to our campaign – and our progressive future – that we get back on track and reach this goal before it's too late.

Unfortunately, the cards are stacked against us. With the Senate split 50-50, the GOP needs to flip just one seat to retake control for Mitch McConnell, and NBC News confirms that I'm their top target for defeat. The GOP is already coming after me with misleading attack ads – and now, analysts at CNN report that I'm the most vulnerable Senate Democrat in the entire country.

I've never backed down from a tough fight – but I need your help. I'm not taking a cent of corporate PAC money – and unlike the GOP's megadonors, I don't have millions to sink into my campaign. The only way I can win this fight and defend my seat in Georgia is with the urgent support of grassroots folks like you. That means hitting critical fundraising goals like this one.

So please, friend: I'm asking you to make a contribution, here and now, toward tomorrow's midnight fundraising goal. If we miss this goal, we could be jeopardizing our chance to power our reelection campaign to victory. This will be one of the most competitive Senate races next year – and with our important deadline just one day away, we simply can't afford to fall short:

So please, I can't do this without you: Will you give $5 or more right now – as much as you can spare before the clock runs out at midnight TOMORROW – to keep Georgia blue and defend our Senate majority?

Thank you. Your support means the world to me.
