Hey Friend, did you see Rose’s email?

I wanted to make sure you heard about our huge Vote-by-Mail initiative. We have a plan to send out half a million vote-by-mail applications to seniors across the state, but we need your help to make it happen.

Friend, did you know that millions of Texans 65 and older rely on mail-in voting to cast a ballot? By sending applications right to their mailbox, we can ensure they make their voices heard.

Our vote-by-mail program is one of the most important voter turnout programs your Texas Democratic Party runs, and it takes a lot of resources to make it happen. That’s why we rely on the support of Democrats like you to make it possible.

To fully fund this initiative, we need to raise $375,000 by September 15th. Each one of these applications costs just over 50 cents for us to print and send. So will you pledge $22 today to sponsor 40 Texas seniors, helping them cast a ballot for Democrats this November?

It’s more important than ever that everyone eligible has the opportunity to make their voice heard by voting by mail this year. Friend, I hope we can count on you to get this critical program to the finish line.

Always moving forward,

Ryan Garcia
Political Director, Texas Democratic Party

Friend,

Did you know that since Republicans passed their voter suppression bill (SB 1) last year, unprecedented numbers of mail ballot applications have been rejected? Even Willie Nelson and his wife’s applications were rejected!

Texas Republicans may want to attack our seniors’ freedom to vote, but Friend, we won’t stand by and let it happen.

We used what we learned during the primary earlier this year and designed an application that will avoid many of the pitfalls that resulted in ballots being rejected, and we’re dedicated to supporting mail voters every step of the way to make sure they can vote! We’ve set a huge goal to send 500,000 mail ballot applications to Democratic seniors -- and y’all know that a postage stamp ain't cheap.

Friend, to hit this ambitious goal we’ll need to raise $375,000 by September 15 -- and we need your help to get us there. Can you chip in $22 now to send out 40 mail ballot applications to eligible Democratic voters and get us a step closer to victory in November?

We knew from the beginning the implications of SB 1 would directly hurt senior voters. We cannot let decades' worth of work to mobilize voters be thwarted by Republicans.

Every election counts. Every vote counts. Every mail ballot counts. We’re counting on you to help us save our state from Republican extremism for generations to come.

Let’s keep fighting,

Rose Clouston
Voter Protection Director
