My request for {NAME}:

[Paul Begala]( Hi {NAME}, I’m Paul Begala. If you have a minute, I need your attention on this. I’ve spent decades working alongside folks like my friend Bill Clinton to help elect Democrats in tough races all across the country. I've learned a lot of lessons about politics along the way, but this is by far the most important one: Campaigns can only win if grassroots supporters like you are on their side. From day one all the way through Election Day, your support is the most important resource campaigns have, and we need you now more than ever. [So I’m asking: If you already know what’s at stake and want to help the DGA elect Democratic governors who will stand up for our rights and defend our democracy from ruthless GOP attacks, please chip in whatever you can right now and have your donation matched dollar-for-dollar up to their $50,000 mid-month goal.]( If you need more information, keep reading. [Donate $3 (and have it matched)]( When President Biden gave his State of the Union address last week, he made the stakes of this election clear. Everything from Social Security and Medicare funding, access to reproductive health care, to our most fundamental freedoms are at risk. Across the country, Republicans are working to weaken our democracy and flip states red by any means necessary. Luckily, President Biden has a strong firewall of Democratic governors on his side – acting as the last line of defense in the states. But the fight to keep our blue firewall strong and send President Biden back to the White House won’t be easy. Here’s what I know for sure, {NAME}: The stakes leading up to November are stark. My expert advice? If you want to make the biggest impact you can to help Democrats win in 2024 and beyond, donate to the DGA right now. The DGA has proven time and time again that Democrats can win anywhere. Now, their success in key swing states like Michigan, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania creates a blueprint for 2024. But they need reliable Democrats like you to step up, {NAME}. I just talked to my contacts at the DGA, and they need 250 more Democrats from New York to chip in and help them meet their $50,000 mid-month goal by midnight tomorrow. If reliable Democrats like you don’t chip in, the DGA could fall short of its goal and lose momentum at a critical point in the election cycle. [Will you pitch in $3, or whatever you can right now, and have it matched up to the DGA’s mid-month goal before time runs out?]( Please use the links in this email to start a monthly donation through ActBlue: [Donate $3 (and have it DOUBLED!)]( [Donate $6 (and have it DOUBLED!)]( [Donate $12 (and have it DOUBLED!)](8Kvf0A-93fk/Ky9pa044SFhIb01zcm5VZWRTWGZPM2pHKyswN3l3Uk9jdStXVjlpUENxK1IyQy9ld2lQazBhdUVJMnl6N3R6ZURLTnFHQm9JVWhJTGJNcWFwVktoeFpMU2VtSzJCUWhaMjBoOE9ESFgwV009S0/WlU1S05xZXRMczQ5ckFhcGZiRzZySFFENThiSGdZRHFYZVJpTXExR0lPRU95UWN4WWtRVHBnWGpUSXlnUExwY0tlWC9majAyWE13dTMvajloZGVTWXdWTlFhKzFiV0ZwemZaOFpDZG1rNDVsMXp5Zm5VV0ZDeU5RQ1loRU5UZzJBZ1dkVW5wc3RFN3c4TStqUm42Mkd0UVdrRnRxc0V0QlZFZDhIbDVQR3pLbFYzT3ZSRGN1YlZzV3VoTDRrblcrSlJTZ0ZCYXBtSGp3UDY3bzdzWUJXSWtUak4vYS9kRVlQaTFzTVhUWlU1cGxRYzBiZjl1aEVvWW1mNEt1Sk81UWkwcUJ1REI0Wnk2VU55QUxTQjkxdkFmMkxCWk11ajQxV3dDSmlIQjlYdlF1KzFDRTJ3TlQ3bWc1NURzdlZmMkI5VW83eXY1WmM1aXBlUVhtL2RtYzlueE5VbjM1c3RvbFlaczFMUGlIUXc3NE5NYTA4bGZEZlE9PQS2) [Or donate other amount (and have it DOUBLED!)](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) Thanks for stepping up – it means a lot..
