Dear Lucas,
December 31st is the most important deadline of this cycle. Why? Because come the new year, there is no going back.
Come January, the campaign will start in full force. Shadowy Republican special interests will start pouring money into Michigan, and before you know it, Election Day will 
be here.
We can win this election, but I need your help to do it.
We have an aggressive plan to build an unprecedented grassroots campaign across Michigan. We can contact every undecided voter, turn out every one of our supporters and have the resources to counter every dishonest GOP attack.
But doing that depends on hitting our fundraising goals by the end of the year.
In order for this plan to work, we need to recruit 1,000 new grassroots donors by midnight, December 31st.
Lucas, will you step forward and join our grassroots team with a contribution of $25, $50 or $100 now?
The Republicans only need four seats to take control of the U.S. Senate -- and they are going to come at us with everything they've got.
In January, we will have to sit down and make decisions about where to allocate our resources. Are we going to have the resources to contact every undecided voter we need to reach?
Will we be able to fully fund our get-out-the-vote effort?
Will we be able to stand up and answer every Republican attack?
I need your help to make sure the answer to all of those questions is yes.
Will you join our grassroots team with a contribution of $25, $50 or $100 now?
Thank you for your support and friendship,
Debbie Stabenow
United States Senator
