Democrats --

Tomorrow at midnight is our big May fundraising deadline.

Here's what it means: The resources we raise before then will power Democrats through the fights that matter this summer.

Whatever it is that drives you -- whether it's the promise that everyone gets a fair shake in America, that our generation should leave this nation better than we found it, or that everyone deserves quality health care and education -- I can promise you that our fight is going strong.

But behind that fight are hundreds of thousands of folks like you, chipping in what they can. These grassroots donations make sure that Democrats will always be able to stand up when we need to. And right now, it's more important than ever for you to pitch in.

Show that you're in for what's ahead before the deadline tomorrow at midnight:

In my calendar, there's a giant circle around November 6th. If you haven't marked yours yet, go do it now. But while you're there, here's another date for you to circle:

May 31st.

See, we're not just in this for one day in November. Democrats are fighting important battles across the country right now, from defending President Obama's record, to winning -- or winning back -- Democratic congressional seats. And those fights can't wait.

With the May fundraising deadline less than 48 hours away, we need to build strength for the fights we're facing right now, and in November. Can you pitch in $X or more today?

In June alone, there are two other dates I'd circle: On June 5th, Wisconsin will have its chance to replace Governor Scott Walker, whose extreme policies have made him a Tea Party darling. Just a week later on June 12th, we're facing a critical test in Arizona, where Democrat Ron Barber is running to complete Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' term. Despite his opponent's extreme views, this race is neck and neck -- and every dollar will make a difference.

That's on top of our work supporting President Obama and putting his plan to move America forward in front of the voters.

That's why the fundraising deadline on May 31st is so important -- we need the resources to keep the pressure on right now in every single one of these races.

Donate to support Democrats before the May 31st deadline:
