John,
Empowering people to actively participate in the political process is vital to a functioning democracy -- and this commitment to people-powered politics is why Beto O’Rourke’s campaign is one of the most inspiring to work on right now.
Beto’s campaign truly embodies one of DFA’s core principles that we’ve used as a guide since Gov. Dean launched our organization in 2004, a 50 State Strategy that works to deliver for progressive candidates and issues at all levels of office in all 50 states.
Gov. Dean took to Twitter earlier this week, noting how Beto’s strategy reflects his own campaign:
For months, pundits have called this race a long shot – but with 56% of Texans saying they aren't confident in the direction of the state, it’s clear that by talking to people from across the state, Beto O'Rourke can win.
The thing is, on-the-ground organizing driving one on one conversations with voters that will decide this election costs a lot of money. Can you rush a split contribution between Beto O’Roukre and DFA right now to fuel our organizing efforts?

Harkening back to the "Dean Scream' Gov. Dean uplifted Beto's message showing he will fight for every single Texan.
By traveling across the state of Texas to counties and towns where most Democrats don’t go, Beto O’Rourke is embodying the ethos of the 50 State Strategy to lead a game-changing campaign against Republican extremist, Governor Greg Abbott.
Let’s give Beto’s campaign a boost right now so he can build on this exciting momentum to take down Greg Abbott -- and flip the South: Will you chip in $3 or more to help Beto win today?
Thank you for doing your part to support Beto's game-changing campaign today.
