I want you to picture something for me:

On his first day as president, my opponent will begin pushing for corporations shipping jobs overseas to pay fewer taxes. He'll repeal the Affordable Care Act, and hand women's health care decisions over to their employers.

He'll turn us back toward the same policies that favored people like him and failed the rest of us.

That's just day one.

Not going to happen.

I need you with me today. Before tonight's fundraising deadline, please donate $X or more:

Think about this: Today, our opponent is facing the same fundraising deadline we are.

But the people I'm counting on at this crucial moment could not be more different.

He's relying on high-powered special-interest groups and a TV personality who's spent the last week questioning where I was born.

Our campaign is built by millions of ordinary Americans chipping in what they can, when they can.

Will you help out before midnight? Make a donation of $X or more right now:

Thank you, as always.
