please, {NAME}

{NAME}, I have good news and bad news: The good news? Nate Silver’s 538 just announced that Democrats passed Republicans in the polls -- [for the first time since November.]( The bad news? Kevin McCarthy just raised $98 MILLION to wipe out our lead and defeat me -- [and if I go down, our Majority goes down with me.]( [{NAME}, I hate to alarm you, but $98 million is the kind of money that decides elections. I only have until 11:59pm today to raise 143 gifts to fill the hole in my budget, hire new field staff, and stop Kevin McCarthy from defeating me – and our entire Democratic Majority. Is there any way I could count on your immediate $14? I have never needed your help more than I do in this moment. >>]( {NAME}, every dollar spent now is critical in determining if I can win. The GOP isn’t wasting a second -- and we can’t either. That’s why it’s absolutely critical that I raise $2,002 today before a new wave of attacks is thrown at me in a dishonest play to take our Majority. If you chip in $14 now, I know we can catch up. [I have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stop Republicans from taking our hard-earned Majority, secure the House for Democrats, and win re-election. So please, could you chip in $14? >>]( [Chip in $12 immediately >>]( [Chip in $19 immediately >>]( [Chip in $24 immediately >>]( [Chip in $50 immediately >>]( [Chip in $100 immediately >>]( [Or chip in another amount >>]( I couldn't do this without you, Raja Raja represents Illinois in Congress. The son of Indian immigrants, Raja grew up for a time on food stamps and in public housing. He knows the struggles countless Americans face every day. Now, Raja is leading the fight in Congress on prescription drugs, climate change, election reform, and a more inclusive economy. But Republican special interests are funnelling cash to defeat strong Democrats like Raja. He's counting on grassroots supporters to keep this campaign running strong. Can we count on you to chip in $10 so Raja can keep up the good fight in Congress?
