last time I’ll ask

  Before we close the books on our end-of-quarter FEC deadline, I wanted to ask one final time if you’ll make a donation toward my re-election campaign before midnight. This is our most important deadline yet. Once the clock strikes midnight, that’s it. Whatever we raise — good or bad …
