Here's the truth, Pat​:

Our party and our campaign are fueled by grassroots donors, and that's why I'm coming directly to you today for your help.

Pat, you know I mean what I say and I say all that I mean. So, here's the truth about our campaign: That's right, Pat. I'm proud to be running a campaign powered by grassroots supporters from all 50 states, including folks in Texas. In fact most of my campaign and the DNC's contributions come from grassroots donors, and that's why I'm coming directly to you today for your help. We've just entered the final full FEC quarter before Election Day, and in order to start this leg of the race off as strong as possible, we still need more support -- specifically from people in Texas. I know it's a difficult time to donate, but with everything on the line this fall, we need to keep building momentum to defeat Donald Trump and Republicans down the ticket. Can you chip in your first $10 to be split between my campaign and the DNC to keep our most important programs running strong? DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 DONATE: $250 Donate another amount There's not a doubt in my mind that if we stand together, we can do the necessary, hard work over these next four months to defeat Donald Trump and make history by electing Democrats from the state house to the White House on November 3. I know it's going to take a lot of resources, and you know I don't enjoy asking for money. But I'm so incredibly proud that our funding is coming from hardworking folks like you chipping in a few dollars at a time because you believe in a better future. Because, like me, you refuse to give Trump and his allies another four years to undermine our democracy. So, if you can, please dig deep and split that first $10 -- or whatever you can spare today -- to make sure that my campaign and the DNC can keep fighting for decisive victories on Election Day. Thank you so much, Pat. Your support means more than you know. Joe Joe Biden P.S. I'm humbled beyond measure by the fact that this campaign -- and our entire Democratic Party -- is funded by working people chipping in what they can, often through emails just like the one I've written to you today. Based on our numbers, it's clear we still need more support from folks like you in Texas, so please split a $10 gift between my campaign and the DNC today.
