Yang Gang --

When our team decided to set a goal of raising $3 million by midnight on December 31st, I have to admit I was skeptical.

It’s a massive goal.  But on the other hand, this campaign is entering a new phase, so I do believe it’s possible.

If you believe too, chip in now.  If not, read on.  I hope I’ll convince you.

I know you get emails all the time from Zach and Carly about how we intend to use the cash we raise.  So I want to talk to you about the vision I have for this country -- and how hitting our individual goals all point us in the direction of making that vision possible.

I’m running for president because I can see the problems coming around the bend.  Automation, self-driving cars and trucks, and tech companies eliminating millions of our retail jobs while paying zero in taxes.

I’m running because I can see that our leaders aren’t equipped to or interested in solving them.  They’re not bad people, they just haven’t seen what I’ve seen.  They come from different environments and backgrounds.  And Washington, D.C. has failed us one too many times for us to keep relying on a status quo politician.

I’ve dedicated the last 10 years to fighting for the future of this country, by creating jobs in struggling towns and cities, and bringing these issues to light for all Americans to see.

Each time you make a contribution to this campaign, you’re joining that fight with me.  And I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate everything you do for us.

We’ve relied on you since the beginning of this campaign, and you’ve gone above and beyond time and again.  Now we’re in a bind and have just three days to close a major gap to hit our big goal ahead of the FEC deadline.

Can you step up and rush a contribution of $10 or more right now to make sure we don’t miss this goal?

Thanks for fighting for the future of our country,

-Andrew
