John, I hope you read Schmidt’s email below.

This is it. We’re just moments away from the end of the third quarter—our most important fundraising deadline of the election yet.

With October starting tomorrow, we’re planning our entire strategy through Election Day based on the resources you, our hundreds of thousands of grassroots supporters, have invested up to this deadline.

To those who have given during the run-up to our end-of-quarter: thank you. Everything we do is because of your willingness to take a stand and support this movement.

If you have not yet given, please consider doing so before midnight tonight.

Your investment will be 3X-matched by our generous benefactors, enabling us to engage and convert as many Lincoln Voters as possible. Every single dollar counts.

With ballots already mailed out in dozens of states, this election is well underway.

Let's finish the job and send Donald Trump packing.

— Reed

Subject: John, please read. Time is almost up.

👉 Our most critical fundraising deadline ends tonight at midnight. Can you contribute $100 and have your contribution 3X matched before the deadline expires?

"A Republic, if you can keep it," John.

The story of America is the story of a people who, throughout our history, have striven to live up to the promises of our founding documents, and who constantly work toward a more perfect union.

Despite our many challenges and struggles, America has endured because it has been shepherded from one generation to the next by leaders who believe in our constitutional order.

Leaders who believe we must secure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans.

Leaders who believe in the peaceful transfer of power, free and fair elections, free expression, and the rule of law.

Donald Trump does not believe in these ideals.

Donald Trump does not believe in the idea of America.

That's why he's the most dangerous and un-American president in our country's history.

These hallmarks of democracy are under direct assault by the creeping authoritarianism of this administration and the conman-in-chief who has desecrated the highest office in our land.

Our Constitution’s survival is under a greater threat today than at any time since the Civil War.

Trumpism is declinism, John. And the fate of our Republic is dependent on the absolute repudiation of Donald Trump, Bill Barr, and the rest of the criminal entourage of enablers and sycophants who prop them up.

John, our most critical deadline of the election yet is tonight at midnight.

I know we have asked a lot of you, and I am grateful that you’ve already stepped up time and again. But the resources we assemble right now will inform our entire strategy through Election Day—and this urgency is why, until we hit the deadline, Lincoln Project benefactors are 3X-matching every grassroots contribution.

This election will be decided by a broad coalition of patriots who, to borrow the words of Abraham Lincoln, dare to do their duty of protecting and preserving the idea of America, regardless of party affiliation.

Ours is the most effective movement reaching and persuading Republican voters, and bringing them into this historic coalition.

I am proud to stand next to you in this fight for the survival of our great Republic.

Thank you.

— Steve
