Dear John,
We have an important deadline coming tomorrow at midnight.
At the end of this quarter, we will file financial reports with the Federal Election Commission to show how much we have raised and spent in the last
three months.
Unfortunately, we are likely to be outraised this quarter by our Democrat opponent. Here's why: our campaign hasn't sent a fundraising email
or letter for the past 16 days since President Trump declared a National State of Emergency due to COVID-19. We simply didn't think it was the
appropriate time to ask for money for our campaign.
So, after canceling more than a dozen in-person fundraising events and not sending out fundraising emails and letters for weeks, we're way behind
hitting our goals for this quarter. Our decision was the right thing to do, but it has taken a severe toll on our finances.
Meanwhile, our Democrat opponent has been sending out numerous fundraising emails each day - no matter what was happening in our country. And he's
been raking in the money from liberals across the country.
Here's my request: if you are in a position to
give a donation before midnight tomorrow, please do. We need your help to make up some of the deficit: $5, $25, $50 or even $100 – any amount
would be an incredible help.
If you're one of the many Americans who are not in a financial position to give to our campaign right now, I understand. I don't want you to feel any
pressure to donate.
Regardless of whether you can give or not, please know that I am incredibly grateful for your tremendous support and prayers. Team Graham is the name
of my re-election campaign because this is a TEAM effort. We are in this together.
We can't delay the quarterly deadline or the FEC report, so please help if you can.
We will get through this difficult time and emerge stronger than ever.
Sincerely,
Lindsey Graham
