Grassroots Update for you

Will you be one today's 22 donors to help us reach our goal?   Team, First: Donald let you know we needed to raise another $3,353.79 to meet our grassroots fundraising goal.  Then: Dozens of supporters stepped up to help close the gap. Now: With one week left, we only need another 154 donor…

It doesn't add up

  Team: I’ve been looking at our monthly fundraising spreadsheets all afternoon, and the math just isn’t making sense. Have a look --  Left to reach 08/19 grassroots goal (proj): $3,353.79 Now, we’ve only got 10 days left to make up that margin. I know lots of us are on vacation this month,…

Fwd: Tell Mitch: Give America a Raise!

  Looping back on this one, because it’s important and we need your help. This should be simple: No American who clocks out at the end of a long day at work should have to turn right back around to clock in to their second or third job, just to make ends meet. But that’s the reality for far …

Tell Mitch: Give America a Raise!

  Team, Too many Americans working two or even three jobs still have to choose between paying their rent, filling their prescriptions, or putting food on the table.   It’s no wonder: It’s now been over a decade since we last raised the federal minimum wage.   That’s why Gerry was proud …

Impeachment

  Friends,   For two and a half years, we’ve watched President Donald Trump shamelessly debase the highest office in the land and blatantly disregard the Constitution he and I were sworn to protect.   That’s why I’ve called for the House to begin an impeachment inquiry to examine the pot…

Tell Congress: We need a new assault weapons ban NOW!

  Team, This weekend confirmed what we already know: We have a national epidemic of gun violence -- and it's exacerbated by Congress’ refusal to pass a new assault weapons ban.   It’s been 15 years since Congress let the last assault weapons ban expire. We shouldn’t have to wait another da…

I am so grateful for you.

    Friends,    It’s officially August, and it is with great gratitude that I can say we hit our July fundraising goal last night! Thank you so much for helping us cross the finish line.   It was a bit touch and go in those final moments, and we truly didn’t know if we would make it. But…

quick question for you

  Folks --  I’ve been so focused on stopping the horrendous policies this administration has implemented that I hadn’t realized how close we were to the end of the month!   My team let me know that, with just a few hours to go before our deadline, we still haven't hit our goal. So, I wanted …

Our dilemma

  The dilemma we face is this, folks: When August rolls around and everyone heads out to soak up the last bit of summer, we know there’s a natural lull in grassroots campaign contributions.   That’s why we have to end July on a really strong note. But, with just 3 days left, we are still jus…

SIGN ON: Equal Pay for Equal Work!

  Friends, American women now make up almost half the workforce -- but still only earn 81 cents to every 1 dollar men earn on average. It is ridiculous that in 2019, women are still being paid less than men for equal work.    Team, we can do better than this. Now is the time for Congress to…

Gerry's giving 110% -- will you?

  Friends,    With only 10 days left in July, I wanted to check in with you all regarding our monthly grassroots fundraising goal.   Our team set the ambitious goal of $7,500. As of right now, we’re 70% through July -- but only 54% to our goal.   Look, if we don’t hit this goal, I don’…

We can't let Trump's racism stand. [Sign on]

Our country is better than this.   Team, First, it was those heinous, repugnant tweets. Then, Trump doubled down at his press conference. Now, he’s deliberately inciting racist chants at his political rallies. Folks, we know how this will end: Someone is going to get hurt. Or worse. It could…

Here's the deal, team:

  Folks: July has been a slow start for our grassroots fundraising. Of course, everyone was out for the Fourth. I get that. Gerry gets that. But now we need to get back on track!   There’s no time to waste, either: We’re laying the groundwork for big victories up and down the ballot in 2019…

I can't believe what I heard in that hearing.

Team --    Yesterday one of my committees held a hearing on Trump's detention camps and you would have thought we were hearing about Dickensian London, not the United States today.    People locked in cages like animals. Crying children covered in filth without soap. Trump's former ICE dire…

This is indefensible, team

Friend, Donald Trump has created a crisis at our southern border. Children in search of a better life are being ripped from their families and held in truly horrible conditions. The Trump Administration is treating the children in these detention camps with absolute cruelty.   These policie…

We haven't hit our goal yet.

Look, I know you’re probably drowning in emails right now and just want to enjoy your Sunday evening. But, we still haven’t yet hit our EOQ goal so I had to send this email.   These goals help us set our budget so we know if we have the resources we need to keep fighting back against Trump an…

Chip in now, and I'll cancel our Sunday email.

If we hit our goal before COB Today, we'll cancel our planned email for Sunday. Happy Friday, team!   Yes -- our big end-of-quarter deadline is coming up on Sunday, and we still haven’t hit our goal.   BUT! We’re getting really, really close.    So, let’s make a deal: If we hit our goal be…
