I didn’t want to send this email

At this pace, we're not going to hit our fundraising goal by the end of today.

Jason -- I really didn't expect to send you an email this afternoon, but I just checked ActBlue, and we're still not on track to hit our monthly fundraising goal by end-of-day today. At the risk of sounding like an alarmist: Missing our monthly fundraising goals at this point in the cycle can put all of the progress we've worked so hard for -- not to mention the Democratic campaign ecosystem -- at risk. The DNC is the sole party organization tasked with electing Democrats from the school board to the White House. We're running critical organizing, voter protection, and data programs that Democratic candidates all over the country are counting on. Falling behind our fundraising goal right now means jeopardizing the infrastructure we've built -- and potential wins down the line. Please, if you can, help hit our monthly fundraising goal by rushing a $7 donation to the DNC by midnight tonight. DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount I'll be honest with you: My team wasn't planning on sending fundraising emails today. But a combination of our current projections and what's at stake if we fall short left us with no other choice. We're counting on the commitment of Democrats like you to dig deep and support the DNC today. Anything you're able to contribute -- whether it's $2 or $7 -- will help make up the difference before the month is over. Rush a $7 donation to the DNC before our May deadline so that our party has the resources it needs to support Democrats in all 50 states and territories. Thank you for doing your part, Jason. Patrick Patrick Stevenson Chief Mobilization Officer Democratic National Committee P.S. I didn't want to send you an email today, but coming up short of our goal is a real possibility if folks from Metuchen and nationwide sit this one out.
