Hey, Pat​

Here's why I announced the Democratic Unity Fund last spring:

I am personally asking for your support at this critical moment for our party, Pat. Let me explain why this request is so urgent: We're seeing unprecedented Democratic voter turnout this year. And while our candidates are vying for the Democratic nomination, it's up to us to lay the groundwork that will harness that momentum. It's the best way to make sure Democrats win up and down the ticket this year. Holding our House majority, taking back the Senate, winning governorships, and flipping state legislatures depends entirely on the investments we make right now. That's where the DNC's Democratic Unity Fund comes in. The fund supports the formation of an impressive infrastructure -- assembling and paying organizers in key battleground states and building world-class data systems to mobilize voters -- that will lift our eventual nominee and candidates down the ticket to victory. Will you donate $7 to the DNC's Democratic Unity Fund for the first time today? Every cent will help elect our eventual nominee and thousands of down-ballot Democrats. DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount I was proud to launch the DNC's Democratic Unity Fund because it supplies Democratic candidates and campaigns with the critical resources they need to win from local office to the Oval Office this year. We're not just fighting for the White House here, Pat, we're fighting for every seat at every level in all 50 states. Our country needs Democratic majorities in Congress and state legislatures who are serious about governing and want to bring about real change and improvements in people's lives. We need governors and mayors who stand up for all Americans, not just the rich and powerful. And, of course, we need a Democrat back in the White House. The DNC is the only party organization tasked with electing Democrats from the bottom of the ticket to the top this year -- and I am asking you to make an early investment in this critical work. Contribute your first $7 to the DNC's Democratic Unity Fund today. Thank you for standing with me. Barack Obama P.S. Elections matter. There's no question about that. I'm asking you: Make your first $7 donation to the DNC's Democratic Unity Fund now to ensure the success of our eventual nominee and Democrats down-ballot.
