re: Obama's announcement (unity)

We're going to have to beat the odds, Pat​.

We now have less than five full months until the most important election of our lifetimes. I've worked on more than one campaign, Pat, so I can tell you that's no time at all when it comes to scaling and executing our 2020 strategy. That's why I'm coming to you today to ask if you'd make your very first $7 donation to the Democratic Unity Fund. Hear me out: The Democratic Unity Fund is entirely dedicated to electing nominee Joe Biden and Democrats running for important seats down the ticket -- and we need you to bolster the fund early, while there's still time to put that investment to work. Read more about the Democratic Unity Fund, then donate $7 to help our party fuel the campaigns of nominee Joe Biden and Democrats nationwide. The Democratic Unity Fund, an effort announced by President Obama back in May of last year, addresses key concerns regarding our eventual nominee in their fight against Trump: This historic primary process was thorough, expensive, and long -- and now Joe Biden needs our party's immediate help in his fight to go toe-to-toe with Trump's money machine. The Democratic Unity Fund is the key to ensuring that VP Biden's team and Democrats down-ballot don't get overwhelmed by the GOP's strong early fundraising. Trump has been fundraising and campaigning tirelessly since his inauguration. He's spent millions on advertisements, staffing, and rallies before the general election even started. The Democratic Unity Fund helps bridge this resource gap and ensures that VP Biden, Democrats running for Congress, and candidates nationwide have the tools they need to work smarter than the GOP and win. We knew from the very beginning that we're going to have to beat the odds to combat Trump's incumbency advantage. We'll need to unite and mobilize millions of people to the polls for Joe Biden and Democrats nationwide on November 3. The Democratic Unity Fund can make that happen -- and so far, over 204,675 people have shown their support for the fund. Unfortunately, our records show that you haven't yet donated to support the tools, organizers, and more that VP Biden and candidates down the ticket need to beat Trump and the GOP. As we approach the end of the second FEC fundraising quarter, it's becoming increasingly urgent that we fully support the Democratic Unity Fund, which is why I'm asking: Will you make your first $7 donation to the fund right now? Any amount you can spare would go a long way before our second quarter comes to a close. The Democratic Unity Fund is a crucial resource in the fight to defeat Donald Trump and his Republican allies down the ballot -- but it's only as strong as we make it. Right now, while it's still relatively early in the general election race, is a crucial time to invest in nominee Joe Biden and Democrats nationwide. Make your first $7 donation to the Democratic Unity Fund. Joe Biden and Democrats in every ZIP code need your support against Trump and their GOP opponents. Your support means so much. I'll be in touch.
