There's an important detail about tonight's deadline that you should know.

It happens at midnight wherever you live. So even if you make a donation from the West Coast before midnight, it still counts in our July totals.

I'll be awake for a while. But I'm OK with that. At the end of the day, I get to crunch the numbers, and see just how many folks like you have joined our cause.

The difference between a good deadline performance and a great deadline performance could decide something as important as whether we hire 20 new organizers next week in Virginia.

That's why we've been emailing, and it's why I hope you'll chip in with $X one more time before midnight your time:

If so, I have a quick favor to ask.

Can you make a donation before we hit the midnight deadline? I'll be grateful for it.

Hey, even if you don't get this before midnight, you can still chip in to help build this campaign and I'll still be grateful.
