re: President Obama's announcement

President Barack Obama announced the Democratic Unity Fund over a year ago.

Pat, over one year ago, President Barack Obama formally announced the launch of the Democratic Unity Fund: President Obama wasn't alone -- soon, nearly every presidential primary candidate, along with over 227,303 grassroots supporters, endorsed the Democratic Unity Fund. Now, Democrats are coming together to lift Vice President Joe Biden and down-ballot Democrats to victory in November. This is the moment the Democratic Unity Fund was made for, Pat -- and we cannot slow down one bit. While the Democratic Unity Fund is already improving the data and technology that power thousands of Democratic campaigns across the country, there's still so much more to do right now -- especially because we're now just three days away from our most important FEC fundraising deadline yet. Here's what we have on file for you: Donate $7 to the Democratic Unity Fund before this Friday's end-of-month deadline to help elect Joe Biden and Democrats down the ticket this November. Once this deadline wraps up, we'll be making some major funding decisions about the race, so even a small gift before Friday's deadline would make a difference. DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount Pat, what we're able to accomplish in the coming months is going to have a serious impact on our party's success in November. And though our world has changed drastically in the last few months, it remains true that there's more that unites our party than sets us apart. By powering the tools that campaigns use to contact voters online and train organizers, the Democratic Unity Fund is critical to bringing our party together to elect VP Joe Biden and Democrats nationwide. We don't have a Democratic Unity Fund gift on file for you just yet. If you can, I really hope you'll donate to support the important work we're doing to elect VP Joe Biden to the White House, take back the Senate, hold our House majority, and elect Democrats down the ticket. We're putting in the elbow grease to scale up key programs right now -- so your support before Friday's crucial July deadline would mean so much. Make a $7 donation to support the Democratic Unity Fund and build the strong DNC Democrats nationwide are counting on to win. Every donation our party receives before Friday at midnight will get us closer to hitting this goal and building the tools we need to elect Joe Biden and Democrats everywhere. Thank you for being on this team, Jessalyn Jessalyn Reid Senior Mobilization Advisor Democratic National Committee P.S. I know you've received quite a few emails from our party asking for money -- that's because this deadline is just too important to risk falling short. Friday's deadline is just three days away, so there's never been a more urgent time to make your first $7 donation directly to the Democratic Unity Fund. If you no longer wish to receive emails from the DNC, submit this form to unsubscribe. If you'd only like to receive our most important messages, sign up to receive less email.
