John, my phone has been buzzing this afternoon with people sending me this article:



National’s focus on the wealthy is paying off in donations for their war chest, with some of New Zealand’s richest people giving them huge amounts.



I’m proud that Labour is a people-powered organisation, chipping in whatever they can afford to enable us to run the biggest, most effective campaigns we can.



But if I’m honest, this news is worrying. $1.8 million is a huge amount for the Opposition to receive in only a few months. 



This gives National a big head start on next year’s election. So it’s important we make up as much ground as soon as we can.



Will you chip in today to help combat the $1,800,000 National is about to receive? <[link removed]>



YES, I'LL DONATE <[link removed]>NOT RIGHT NOW <[link removed]>We run a small, efficient team who give us better bang for buck than National’s operation. But money of this scale does enable the kind of activity that makes a difference at an election, like buying advertising and billboards, training staff and getting out the vote. 



So please chip in anything <[link removed]> you can today to help make up the difference.



Thanks,

Rob



P.S. You can <[link removed]>read the article here <[link removed]> - but it is behind the NZ Herald’s paywall.



P.P.S. Every dollar really does make a difference: even if you can only donate a small amount, please do give what you can today. <[link removed]>
