Will you commit to being a pro-choice voter?

  Hi there, As Republicans across the country continue to churn out new extreme laws meant to restrict abortion access, it’s more important than ever that we elect pro-choice leaders this fall.  With the midterm elections quickly approaching, will you commit today to vote for pro-choi…

Got four quarters to spare?

  Friend,  You read that right. We’re reaching out to ask for just one dollar. If you want to cut to the chase and pitch in four quarters, you can do so here. >> The reason why we’re only asking for $1 is simple: when we report our fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Com…

Last chance

  Friend,  We hope we caught you before you sign off for the weekend! We’ll make this quick. There are just a few hours left in our mid-month fundraising push, and the way it’s looking right now, we may miss our goal. But we’re *so close* to reaching it that your donation could be the…

My least favorite part of the job

  Ask anyone on my team, folks — asking for money is my least favorite part of the job.  I’d much rather be hammering out deals in Washington, traveling around the state learning more about the issues Montanans are facing, or back home on the farm.  But as my team likes to remind me, …

Can you join them, friend?

  Friend,  Yesterday, Jon wrote to you about the launch of our new mid-month fundraising goal of $5,000 — and since then, we’ve seen a fantastic response! We’re now 46% to goal, with a little over 48 hours to go. It’s ambitious, but not impossible.  Many of your fellow grassroots sup…

  Friend,  A few days ago, I wrote to you to tell you about the “summer slump” in fundraising we usually have during this season. And the truth is, we’re already starting to see it happen.  My team has been watching our donations closely, and we’re behind where we usually are at this …

I know it’s Sunday

  Friend,  I know it’s Sunday, so I’ll make this quick.  Campaign veterans always warn about the so-called “summer slump” — a lull in fundraising during the summer months, when folks are spending more time outside, and not focused on politics or reading emails like this one.  That’s a…
