Unlimited.

Friend, In July: When Tom Steyer entered this race -- months after Cory and the majority of the field -- he pledged to spend up to $100 million to fund his own campaign. Since then: He’s spent over $35 million of his personal fortune on television and online ads in an attempt to purch…

Joe Biden & Elizabeth Warren & Bernie Sanders & Pete Buttigieg & Kamala Harris & Amy Klobuchar.

Friend, here’s what the debate stages have looked like so far: FIRST: The DNC required that each candidate have 130,000 individual donors to qualify for the September and October debates -- and twelve candidates made it on stage. I was one of them. THEN: They raised the threshold to 1…

Running for president isn't easy

Friend, So many people have stepped up and chipped in to our campaign since we launched our $550,000 effort to reach more caucus-goers and voters in the early states -- and I couldn’t be more grateful. But sadly, we’re behind where we need to be right now, and we have just two days le…

One dollar

Team, I bet you’ve heard from a few candidates for president this year asking if you’d be willing to donate $1 to their campaign. Here’s why: The DNC is requiring that each candidate have 200,000 individual donors in order to qualify for the December debate stage. Well, would you con…

This is not about politics, this is about patriotism.

Friend, Here’s how we got to where we are in the impeachment inquiry of President Trump: FIRST: On September 24th, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced her plans to launch a formal impeachment inquiry of President Trump, saying, “The president must be held accountable.” THEN: Over a dozen …

Where we're at in Washington DC

Hey team, wanted to give you a quick update from HQ on where we’re at with our $550,000 goal. Yesterday was huge for us. After setting goals for each individual state, people like you stepped up -- thank you, thank you, thank you! We’ve got to keep that momentum going. The team here r…

Today is the day (to become a first-time donor)

Team, We need… 200,000 donors to qualify for the December debate. We’re only… less than 15,000 donors away from hitting that goal -- and getting closer every day. We’ll get there… if (and only if) supporters like you step up and donate $1 today. Can Cory count on you? Chip in a doll…

How we're going to get on the December debate stage

The threshold: To qualify for the December debate, each candidate must have 200,000 individual donors and hit 4% in at least four polls. The numbers: Right now, we’re less than 15,000 short of the individual donor requirement, and we haven’t gotten the polls we need yet. The plan: Our…

I get it

Friend, My team set an aggressive goal of raising $550,000 by Friday at midnight. I know that’s a steep target for an underdog campaign like ours, but it matters. We believe this investment will help get our message out at a critical time and help us qualify for the December debate. A…

here's the plan, team

Hey, did you see Jenna’s note below? This is important, friend: Our campaign needs to hit 4% in at least four polls to qualify for the December debate. That’s why we launched our Ground Game Fund a few days ago -- to help us reach more people in the early states to introduce more voter…

Team -- Did you see Addisu’s message? We’ve been crunching the numbers here at Booker HQ, and we need to raise $550,000 by 11:59 p.m. on November 15th to fully fund our plan to get Cory on the December debate stage. Will you chip in to our Ground Game Fund today? Here’s a link: https:…

How we're going to get Cory on the December debate stage

Hey there, We’ve been writing to you a lot about the DNC threshold for December debate -- each candidate must have at least 200,000 individual donors and hit 4% in at least four polls to qualify. And we have not met either requirement yet. Don’t worry we have a big, bold plan to get C…

Hey -- I'm not going to lie. This won't be easy

It’s time to have a real conversation about what’s at stake in the next month of this race, team. When the DNC raised the threshold to make it to the debate stage in December, they put our campaign on the bubble. Each presidential candidate must have at least 200,000 individual donors …

November 8, 2016.

Friend, For just a moment, I want you to think back to how you felt three years ago tonight -- when Donald Trump was declared the next president of the United States. If you’re like me, you never want to experience anything like that shock again. Each of us must devote ourselves right…

...about the December debate

Hey there, Jenna here. I wanted to send you a quick note about the December debate. I know we’ve already written to you about how Cory needs 200,000 individual donors to qualify for that debate. That’s not all. He also needs to hit 4% in four separate polls to secure his spot on the st…

All it takes is a dollar

We noticed you haven’t chipped in yet to secure Cory’s spot on the December debate stage. Here’s the truth: Cory needs 200,000 individual donors to qualify for the debate -- and at the moment, we’re still a few thousand donors short. Will you make your first donation of $1 right now? …

Team, I have some bad news

Team, I woke up this morning to some less than ideal news: we missed our $725,000 end-of-month goal by just $18,479. We’re fewer than 100 days out from Iowa and need to continue building our campaign. That starts with hitting every goal we set. It’s time to turn our focus to the next…
