Jack, I'll get straight to the point: we are over halfway through September, but Daily Kos is only at 40.2% of its monthly fundraising goal. This is concerning. Can you support our work by donating $5?

Before I started working at Daily Kos, I worked for Gov. Howard Dean. As chair of the Democratic National Committee, where he championed the 50-state strategy, he recalled his experience as a presidential candidate to advise campaigns of the "rule of three." This meant that if you wanted to turn out a voter on Election Day, you had to have at least three connections with them, whether by phone, in person, or mail.

This is why it is so important that Daily Kos meets our fundraising goals right now!

We are working around the clock to recruit over 75,000 volunteers to contact millions of undecided and infrequent voters in 2022–twice the amount of volunteers we recruited in the 2018 midterm elections. Our volunteers are already doing the important work of connecting with voters by writing letters and postcards to key voters, knocking on doors, signing up for phonebanking shifts and training to become poll workers. However, we still need to recruit more volunteers and provide the tools to connect with voters. This all costs us real money to run these programs.

These Get Out the Vote programs are not cheap, that's why this month in particular, our fundraising goal is so much higher than past months. Jack, please support our work to turnout over every single democratic voter by donating $5 today.

Thanks for all you do,
Amanda McKay, Daily Kos
