Folks, I know seeing me ask for just $1 might seem a little odd, but grassroots contributions are one of the greatest strengths of my campaign.

See, $1 by itself can’t make vast political change. But when thousands of people work together, each chipping in $1 or whatever they can, we can move mountains.

We can send a young boy to medical school to come back and take care of the community he was raised in. We can send someone from working-class roots all the way to Congress to fight for working families like his own.

To be honest, friend – the only way to compete with Republican mega-fundraising is with the strength that a grassroots movement provides.

So when I ask for your $1 today, please know I don’t take it lightly – I’m asking you to join our team and join me in this fight. Will you chip in $1 before our critical end-of-quarter deadline? Together, we can hit our goals and make real change in Washington »

Thank you,

Raul
