Friend – it's Gary. I just left a strategy meeting with the Democratic Senate Majority Organizing Team, and I want to share some details of what I came away with.

I know that every campaign has to fight tooth and nail to ensure they have the resources to win, and that means coming to dedicated grassroots Democrats like you. Oftentimes, we're telling you how important it is that we hold the Senate – and, for the record, it's really, really important. But today, instead I want to tell you exactly where your grassroots donation is going.

We have donors from all over the nation – like Tim from New York, Beverly from Maryland, George from Michigan, Michael from Florida and Marilyn from Utah. Collectively, these folks have donated just over $100. (Thank you all for your generous support!)

There are thousands more donors just like them, each of them helping Democrats across the country buy yard signs to mobilize their grassroots network, open campaign offices where volunteers can organize, run television and radio ads and pay a devoted staff of campaign workers who put tireless hours into electing Democrats. 

You see, Democrats could never win if it weren't for grassroots activists like Tim, Beverly, George, Michael, Marilyn – and you. Every day people like you who care about moving our country forward make the grassroots donations of $5, $15 or $25 that, all together, power Democrats to victory.

So please, now that I've been able to tell you a little bit about where these funds go, can you donate $5 or more to buy that next yard sign or help get that television ad on the air? This is the only way that Democrats will protect our Senate majority and keep control out of Mitch McConnell's hands, so I'm really counting on you.

Thank you for standing with me here. Together, I know that we'll win this one.

– Gary
