Friend,

This is one of the most important days of the election cycle – the FEC's official end-of-quarter fundraising deadline.

After midnight, we'll have to post our numbers publicly. I'm counting on your help to reach our $30,000 goal and send a message to extreme Republicans that we're not backing down.

Will you rush $10 or another amount before our midnight deadline? Every dollar makes a difference.

This is a people-powered campaign, Friend. If we fall short of our fundraising goal, we can't call on special interests or federal lobbyists to fill in the gap.

That means we'll have to report a shortfall in our FEC report. That's like blood in the water to our opponents – and they'll pull out all the stops to try to replace me with a hand-picked Republican who will do their bidding.

With such a pivotal election only four months away, we can't leave anything up to chance. Chip in right now to help us stay on track and finish the quarter strong!

Thanks and keep the faith,

Dean
