Diane,

Take it from someone who knows how to win a hard-fought election:

[T]his is one of the most strategic donations you can make right now. The NDRC has identified the races where free and fair elections are at stake — and is directing resources where they’re needed most.  —President Barack Obama

You heard the man. Rush a contribution today to help elect Democracy Defenders in high-stakes races across the country and help keep up the fight for fair maps.

All the way through Election Day, we’re targeting our efforts to help win the state-level races that will make the biggest difference to stop Republican gerrymandering and protect the right to vote.

The contributions we receive — from emails like this one — decide how much we can invest in electing more Democracy Defenders across the country.

We’re constantly keeping a close eye on the campaigns that need another boost of support for the final stretch here, and you can help deliver resources where they will do the most good for democracy.

Make a contribution today, help win the midterms for fair maps champions, and help fight off urgent attacks on our democracy.

 
 

Thank you, 

Team NDRC

The biggest rigged system in America is gerrymandering.
    Together we can change that

An important message from President Obama:

Dianea, please take a minute to read President Obama’s note:
Democrats Join us.
‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Dianea, this will only take a minute, but we need you to read President Obama’s message:

“I’ll be honest with you, I never imagined some of the stuff that’s been going on in our country lately.

But I am energized by the millions of Americans who are taking a stand and demanding change — even when it’s hard.

That’s what hope is all about. It’s never blind optimism. It’s grounded in a clear-eyed recognition that tough things happen and the world is deeply imperfect.

But we have agency. We make choices about what we stand for and what we believe in.

So I’m asking you today to use that hope to make a difference. Get involved and help Democrats win one of the most consequential elections in our country’s history.

Because the most powerful office in this country has always been ‘citizen.’ And right now, every one of us can help turn hope into action.”

— President Barack Obama

President Obama is calling on you and your fellow Democrats to get off the sidelines and take action in the midterm elections.

One of the best ways to help Democrats win this November is by chipping in to the DNC — here’s why:

  • We just deployed over 10,000 volunteers and organizers in key battleground districts across the country. These are the folks who will register new voters, get infrequent Democrats out to vote, and reach undecided voters who just need an extra push.

  • We’re recruiting thousands of poll observers across the country to ensure that Donald Trump and his cronies don’t stand in between you and your vote. These courageous patriots are ready to stand up for democracy and defend the integrity of our elections.

  • More than 10,000 Democratic candidates running for office nationwide rely on the DNC’s critical tech and data infrastructure to run winning campaigns.

DianeA, if you’ve been waiting for the right time to make your first donation, this is it. Because President Obama is right: Every one of us can turn hope into action. But we’ve only got 25 days left. So please, don’t let one of the most consequential elections in our nation’s history pass you by. Step up and chip in $7 to win today.

America’s 250th birthday

It’s our turn to strengthen the fabric of our nation.
‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Diane, 

America will celebrate its 250th birthday next week. 

It can be easy to overlook just how incredible — and improbable — this milestone is. America has always been an experiment, defined by the belief that people united not by race or ethnicity but by a shared set of ideals can live and work together. 

We’ve seen the power of that belief over the last two and a half centuries. But our democracy has never been self-executing. At every turn, we’ve had to keep it alive. Revolutionaries, inventors, abolitionists, suffragists, civil rights leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizers have worked and sacrificed to keep us moving forward.

Of course, there have always been people who don’t believe in the American experiment — leaders who put their self-interest ahead of the common good, and would prefer to take us backward rather than give up their own wealth and power. 

But generation after generation, the American people have prevailed. They’ve rolled up their sleeves, locked arms, and done the hard work of building a more perfect union.

Now it’s our turn to answer the call. 

The National Democratic Redistricting Committee has a plan to defeat the gerrymandering that threatens fair elections so we can ensure that the will of the people ultimately prevails. Can we count on you to make a donation to fund the work of defending democracy?

 
 

We celebrate this historic milestone because it took heroism and sacrifice to get here. It took leaders who had a vision for what America could be — and who helped make it real.

Together, they believed in an America where everyone has an equal opportunity to make their voices heard. Where every person is equal under the law, no matter who they are or where they live. Where elections are always free and fair.

250 years after America’s founding, that vision is still our north star. Attorney General Eric Holder and I founded the NDRC to protect the promise of America from the extreme, anti-democratic forces trying to undermine it.

Right now, too many Republicans are trying to hold onto power and silence voters. They’re manipulating district maps to entrench themselves, while making it harder for ordinary citizens — especially in Black and brown communities — to elect the representatives they want.

But in America, we the people get the final say. It’s our turn to roll up our sleeves and help strengthen the fabric of our nation. I believe we will rise to meet the urgency of this moment. If you can, please make a donation to the NDRC, and let’s get to work.

Thank you,

Barack Obama
