Friends — I’m sure you know by now that I try to be radically honest about our fundraising when I send you these emails. So here’s the truth:

Earlier this week, my team let you know that at the end of the month, we’re legally required to report our fundraising numbers to the FEC.

The FEC is the Federal Election Commission. Every candidate for federal office has to report their numbers to the FEC at the end of each quarter (so in March, June, September, and December.) Those numbers are then posted publicly on their website for all to see.

This makes FEC deadlines crucially important for any campaign, because if you fail to put up strong numbers at the end of the quarter, it can send a signal to both your opponents and your supporters that you’re falling behind.

In our case, Big Oil, corporate special interests, GOP super PACs, the right-wing media, and many others will be looking to see if our movement still has the energy and the broad support we once did.

So, tomorrow marks the halfway point of the month. And at our current rate, we are not where we need to be to meet our goals before the FEC deadline closes on the 30th — about $7,000 short. We have time to close the gap, but only if everyone does their part.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to make your first donation, this FEC deadline couldn’t be a better opportunity. Even donations of just $5 or $10 keep this campaign competitive. So please:

Make a contribution today towards our FEC deadline goal. It’s not about how much money you give, but rather how many people chip in and help us file a strong report at the end of the month. [[link removed]]

I’ll continue to keep you updated on our progress as we near the end of the month. Thanks again for your support.

In solidarity,

Ed Markey
