John,

We need to generate a LOT of contributions today.

Here’s why:

We are less than a week away from the most important FEC deadline of this campaign so far. Once it hits, we will need to publicly report how much money we raised total and how many individual supporters donated to get us there.

We need to put up a big number. Not just because it ensures we keep up with Susan Collins and her wealthy, right-wing donors. But also because it will help us prove that a campaign funded by the grassroots — and NOT corporate PAC money — is the strongest campaign possible.

That is why I have to ask:

Will you add your first contribution — of any amount you can afford — before our June 30th FEC deadline? I wouldn't ask if it weren't really important.

Together, we have built a grassroots campaign that can defeat Susan Collins and flip this Senate seat for Democrats.

Now we have to see it through.

All my best,

Amy Mesner
Campaign Manager
