John, 

When we launched this campaign just a few weeks ago, grassroots supporters like you chipped in to fuel our campaign and elect Barbara to the Senate. But over the last few days, our grassroots fundraising has slowed down drastically – and at the worst possible moment, too. 

With our crucial mid-month deadline coming up at midnight, we're still $4,631 short of our must-reach goal. John, will you rush $5 now to help close this gap and win in California?

Here’s why reaching this goal is especially important: The New York Times recently reported that this race is expected to be one of the most competitive and expensive in the country – and our fundraising numbers go public at the end of the month, so we need to show the strength behind our movement.

We are not giving up, John. But we have to make up ground if we’re going to pull ahead and win this race – and that starts with hitting this goal. 

So please, John, Barbara is counting on you: Chip in $5 or more before tonight's mid-month deadline to help Barbara win in California and secure a progressive future for all!

Thank you for all your support.
