Dear Lucas,
If there are two things you probably can’t get enough of, they are
1) special interest front groups with hilariously innocuous names running
vicious attack ads, and 2) fundraising deadlines.
Sadly, we can’t stop Americans for Love and Wonderfulness, or whatever
the latest group is called, from attacking me. (In fact, a group like
that was just on the air in Minnesota.)
And the deadlines? Well, they’re not fun --
but they are critical in helping us fight back.
This month, we have the usual monthly deadline on the 31st -- but we also
have a deadline coming up in just SEVEN DAYS, when primary voters go to
the polls. Can you click here to help us raise $100,000 before then?
I know, I know. “Double deadlines” is about as exciting a proposition
as “double dentist’s appointments.” But good oral hygiene
is important -- and so is our grassroots fundraising.
And unlike that root canal, hitting our primary goal can be painless --
if everyone receiving this email chips in just a little bit before the deadline
hits in seven days.
I’m sure you’re already sick of hearing about critical deadlines
and ambitious fundraising goals. And I’m not going to pretend like
having a special deadline in seven days is thrilling news.
We’re in this to make sure that middle class families have a voice
in Washington. We’re in this to make sure the special interests
don’t buy this Senate seat.
And, most of all, we’re in this together.
So whaddya say? Can you help us hit this goal? Click here to chip in $5 or more.
Thanks for helping us meet -- yes, yet another deadline. I can’t
promise it’ll be the last, but I can promise that your help means
a lot to me.
Al
P.S.: It could be worse -- this could be an email from your dentist’s
office. By comparison, a special mid-month deadline is practically good
news. Okay, it’s not. But it matters, it really does.
So please click here to chip in $5 or more right now.
