In just a few hours, the Democratic National Convention begins.

I'm here in Charlotte, and the energy in the arena is incredible. It's a big moment for our party, and I couldn't be prouder of the plans we've made for the next four years.

This is our week.

If you're backing Democrats this year, now's the time to pitch in $X or more.

We have 63 days left that could make or break this election, and we need to take advantage of every single one of them.

It's on you, Please make a donation to Democrats today:

And be sure to tune into the convention speeches starting tonight. I can't wait.

Thanks,

Patrick

Democrats it's time for us to bring the momentum back to our side.

Last week was the Republican National Convention, and if you watched any of it, what you didn't hear was a single concrete idea for moving our country forward. And we already knew that those guys want to raise taxes on the middle class to fund tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, take away a woman's right to make her own health care decisions, and let Wall Street and the insurance companies go back to writing their own rules.

But now it's our turn -- and we need to make sure voters know exactly what Democrats are planning to do this year. Before the convention gets under way, pitch in $X or more to help spread the word.

This week at the Democratic National Convention, all eyes will be on us -- and how we plan to move our country forward by protecting health care for every American, building the middle class, and continuing to create jobs for those who desperately need them.

But we can't stop and rest after the convention ends. It's up to us to make sure that the momentum stays on our side after this week, and all the way until November 6th.

The only way we can do that is by giving Democrats the resources they need to continue to fight as hard as they can until Election Day.

Donate $X or more before the convention starts to keep the momentum on our side:

And I hope you'll tune in this week for the convention. It's really going to be something.

Thanks,
