Hey John,
Early in my career, Bernie Sanders gave me a piece of advice I’ve never forgotten.
He said, “In politics, people succeed either by being really good at lying or really good at telling the truth. You strike me as someone who’s not good at lying — so your job is to get really good at telling the truth.”
So today, I’m going to tell you some truths about our campaign.
We’re statistically tied with our MAGA Republican opponent. We have the momentum to win.
December 31st marks our biggest fundraising hurdle yet — our final FEC deadline of the year.
This is, no exaggeration, a make-or-break moment for our campaign.
In just a couple of weeks, we need to raise as much as we can to prove that a people-powered campaign — one that rejects AIPAC and corporate PAC money — has enough resources to take on the would-be oligarchs and win.
Finally, one more piece of truth: I don’t love asking people for money.
But because this is a 100% people-powered campaign, I’m relying on folks like you who care about the future of our party and our country to pitch in.
If you can contribute today, it would mean the world:
Thank you,
Abdul
