We have until midnight to do our part, Diane

DemocratsJoin us.
Today is our monthly fundraising deadline! Pitch in before midnight tonight:


Diane, shock doesn't come easily by me -- but when Donald Trump, of all people, stood in front of his supporters and called Hillary Clinton a "bigot," I almost spit out my chardonnay.

I have known Hillary Clinton for decades. I've worked by her side to help advance the rights of children and minorities and women, so I speak from experience when I say that Trump's gross, false assertion ranks right down there with the very lowest of the foolishness and nonsense that have become commonplace on his campaign.

But more than anything else, it says a lot about Donald Trump -- and why he's so unfit for the presidency. The late Maya Angelou once said: "The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them." And let's be clear on this, Diane: when it comes to the kind of president Donald Trump would be if elected, the verdict is clear.

The stakes have never been higher than in this election. The choice between Donald Trump's bullying, bluster, and incompetence, and the experience, wisdom, and compassion of Hillary Clinton is stark. It's vital that we not only make the right choice, but that we do everything we can to make Hillary president.

The alternative of a Donald Trump presidency is too disturbing to imagine. That's why we have to devote everything we've got to these last 69 days so we can keep Trump out of the White House, elect Hillary Clinton, and take back Congress, too.

Help us win, Diane. Pitch in $3 or whatever you can before midnight.

re: this deadline tonight

Make sure we beat Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP. Pitch in before our monthly fundraising deadline tonight:


Diane, every deadline between now and Election Day is really important. But what we raise by midnight tonight will go the furthest possible and have the largest impact.

Whatever we have on hand will determine how we can deploy our resources across the country -- how many offices we can open and keep open in new battleground states like Georgia and Missouri, or whether or not we can hire more organizers in Florida and Pennsylvania, and other key states we know we need to win.

The list of what we can do in September and October goes on, but one thing that won't last forever is the time we have to get this job done. That's exactly why Hillary and Democrats across the country are counting on folks like you in Montross to pitch in $3 or whatever you're able to before this fundraising deadline, so we can maximize these remaining days to get out the vote -- because when more people vote, Democrats win elections.

If you've saved your payment information, your donation will go through immediately.

QUICK DONATE: $3

QUICK DONATE: $10

QUICK DONATE: $25

QUICK DONATE: $50

QUICK DONATE: $100

Or donate another amount.

After falling a few donations short of our 60,000-donation goal last week, we need to up the ante in order to get back on track.

So Diane, pitch in $3 or whatever you can to help Democrats win:

Hold Senate leaders accountable

Organizing for Action
We're about to bring it. Join in.
Diane --

Next week, the Senate returns from its seven-week recess -- and there's some important unfinished business to attend to.

At the top of senators' lists should be filling the seat that's still vacant on the Supreme Court. President Obama's nominee, the highly qualified Judge Merrick Garland, who has previously received bipartisan support, has now waited 167 days for a hearing and a vote. That's a record-breaking amount of time: No Supreme Court nominee has ever waited longer than 125 days to be confirmed unless they've withdrawn, and the Senate hasn't even held a hearing for Judge Garland -- much less a vote.

That's unacceptable, and it's up to us to make sure Senate leaders know it -- which is exactly what we're going to do while they're in session.

OFA supporters across the country are gearing up to increase the pressure. Say you'll join them in letting senators know you demand action on the Supreme Court vacancy.

Just recently -- during his seven-week vacation -- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told a crowd that one of his proudest moments was telling President Obama that he would refuse to fill the empty seat on the highest court, effectively gridlocking our judicial system. McConnell should be ashamed of refusing to do his job, not proud.

And as long as obstructionists in the Senate continue to stand with McConnell, they should be ashamed, too. They're preventing our Supreme Court from handing down decisions that affect millions of people.

Progress on this issue will take everyone speaking up. Join the thousands of OFA supporters pushing for a hearing and a vote for Judge Garland -- say you'll call on senators to take action when the Senate returns from recess next week:

re: this deadline tomorrow

DemocratsJoin us.
Make sure we beat Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP. Pitch in before our monthly fundraising deadline tomorrow night:


Diane --

Donald Trump's campaign has a new theory for how they'll win this election. They're calling it the "undercover" Trump voter.

The thinking is that there are thousands, maybe even millions, of voters who aren't buying hats, going to rallies, or even telling their friends they support Trump -- but who will show up on Election Day and vote for him.

Consider what it means to publicly support Trump and everything he stands for -- everything he's said during this campaign -- and suddenly this isn't the most far-fetched idea.

And if team Trump is right, then it means that this election is a lot closer than the polls show. It means that the momentum we've built up these past few weeks -- not just for Hillary but for down-ballot Democrats too -- could evaporate in the blink of an eye.

That's doubly true if Trump and the GOP outraise us in August. It'll be a sign to every voter in this country, and really to the whole world, that the tide is turning.

So we absolutely have to put up a strong showing before we close the books tomorrow night. Can you pitch in $10 or more before then?

this deadline:

DemocratsJoin us.
Make sure we beat Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP. Pitch in before our monthly fundraising deadline on August 31st:


Diane -- I wanted to make sure you saw this email that Donald Trump sent his supporters over the weekend.

This isn't the first time Trump has promised to put his own money into his campaign. He can cut himself a check for $1 million (or more!) any time he wants to.

I don't have to tell you what could happen if he goes into September with a cash advantage over us. It's going to take every single one of us coming together to support Hillary and all the Democrats in Virginia to make sure we keep our edge.

Before our monthly fundraising deadline tomorrow at midnight, can you pitch in $3 or more?

Friend,

I wanted to make sure you took advantage of my million dollar August matching gift.

I am personally matching all donations up to $1 million until the end of August, because that's how firmly I believe we can win this election and fix America together.

America needs a strong leader who will fight on behalf of the American worker and won't cave to the pressures of the union bullies or the foreign leaders who are trying to rip us off.

For too long the Washington politicians have been silencing the American people. That's why I got in this race, because the American people needed a voice. I am your voice.

I will always stand and fight for you. Will you stand with me today by making a contribution?

And Friend, don't forget -- whatever you contribute, I am personally going to match it up to $1 million, because when I make an investment in something, I want to make sure it's going to be a good investment.

And your contribution is an investment, and I would be proud to match it up to $1 million.

Let's invest together in the future of America!

Thank you and God Bless America,

Best wishes,

Trump

Donald J. Trump

The nerve of this guy

DemocratsJoin us.
Make sure we beat Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP. Pitch in to the Stop Trump Fund before our monthly fundraising deadline on August 31st:


Diane --

Donald Trump is trying his best to diversify his supporter base with his new pitch to African Americans: "What the hell do you have to lose?" He spewed a litany of inaccurate statistics and untrue stereotypes into the microphone, then he walked off stage as if he'd just delivered Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.

He thinks he can spit in the wind and tell folks it's raining, but Trump's history provides us with everything we need to properly forecast his presidency:
  1. In the early days of Trump's real estate business, he was investigated and sued by the Department of Justice for housing discrimination when he refused to rent apartments to African Americans.

  2. Trump was the face of the "birther" movement, raising the question of whether or not President Obama was an American citizen to anyone he could while demanding to see the President's "long-form" birth certificate.

  3. Throughout his campaign, the GOP nominee has repeatedly spread multiple inaccurate and race-baiting tweets with false crime statistics about African Americans, and openly supported violence that occurred at one of his events against a Black Lives Matter protestor when he said, "Maybe [the protestor] should've been roughed up."

  4. He's been endorsed by Ku Klux Klan and white supremacist group members -- including David Duke, whose Senate candidacy in Louisiana is based largely on Trump's Republican primary success. Duke's co-host on their white supremacist radio show even beamed in delight over Trump's hiring of the ultra-conservative propagandist Steve Bannon, saying that "We appear to have taken over the Republican Party."
The same guy who called Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists, said that he wants to ban Muslims from entering America, and has been sued multiple times for racial discrimination against African Americans at his properties now fashions himself the new standard-bearer for racial equality in America? I don't think so, Diane.

Donald Trump is no advocate for equality on any level, but he could still become president. It's up to all of us to stop this guy -- so let's make sure Donald Trump and the Republicans propping him up as fit to lead all lose on Election Day.

Trump is within spitting distance

DemocratsJoin us.
Help us get back on track before our end-of-month deadline on Wednesday. Pitch in $3 or more to help Hillary and Democrats win:


Diane --

I just got a report on our grassroots fundraising goal of 60,000 donations by last Thursday night.

It looks like we came up a little short. That means we need to use the final few days of this month to get back on track -- and fast.

Diane, this is the first time we've come in under our projection, and it couldn't have happened at a more critical moment.

We had a great month in July thanks to the thousands of Democrats who stepped up to support our party -- thank you so much for all you're doing. But Donald Trump and the GOP still came within spitting distance of us.

If we fall behind again, this could be the first month of this campaign when they outraise us. That is not where I want to be going into September.

Help make sure we can keep our fundraising advantage going -- it's so important right now. Pitch in $3 or more.

If you've saved your payment information, your donation will go through immediately.
