The choice is yours, Pat​

In the face of such a high-stakes election, you can either step up and show your support or sit on the sidelines.

The first FEC fundraising deadline of this pivotal election year is less than three days away. Right now, we're making the tough budgeting calls -- on rolling out organizers in battleground states, developing data and technology that will help thousands of Democratic candidates, and unearthing and disseminating research to expose the harm Trump's presidency is doing at the most local level. We need your support to do this work now -- while it's still early enough for these investments to have an outsized impact. Pat, hitting our goals grows even more important as we approach the general election. This first deadline of 2020 creates the momentum for the rest of the year. With so much at stake, you have two options: Option One: Contribute $7 to the DNC and help show Trump and the GOP that Democrats have strong momentum going into this general election. Not only are we making historic investments in key battleground states -- we're making those important investments earlier than ever before. We're putting organizers and technology in place right now so when the general election starts they'll be primed and ready for victory. Come Election Day, when you're finished voting and watching the results roll in, you'll know that you did all that you could to fuel the campaigns of our presidential nominee and Democrats down-ballot. Option Two: Close this email and stand by as Donald Trump and the GOP's immense campaign war chest continues to grow. The RNC just announced a rapid ground-game expansion across 18 states. This expansion will double the number of Republican organizers in key battleground states that Trump very narrowly won in 2016. Your support before this critical deadline can help combat these efforts and uplift Democrats when they need it most. We're on a mission to provide the future Democratic presidential nominee and thousands of Democrats down the ticket with the resources they'll need to reach voters, spread their message, and beat their Republican opponents. Our party needs your support to make that happen. If every person on this grassroots team made a contribution right now, our party would hit our fundraising goal in an instant. Choose option one and make a $7 donation to the DNC before this game-changing FEC deadline.

Pat, since Trump won in 2016, Democrats have had three straight Novembers of electoral success thanks to grassroots supporters making early investments in DNC efforts.
