The Democratic Party -----------------------

You can probably guess that, as finance director of the DNC, a lot of my time this close to an election is spent in budget meetings.

Each one starts with a great plan for how Democrats need that last order of fliers in Florida, or that last boost of resources so that a battleground Senate candidate doesn't get trampled by their opponent on the air.

Every meeting ends with "Can we make it work, Hildy?" And my answer is always "I sure hope so."

You see, we're closing the books on the last FEC fundraising deadline of this entire election on Wednesday, and I can't say yes to anything until I know what kind of shape we're in.

Every donation, no matter how large or small, makes a big difference to Democrats when there's this little time left.

If you're able, please make a donation of $X or more to help Democrats across the country before our final FEC fundraising deadline on Wednesday:

Thank you so much for your help.

P.S. -- We are getting down to the wire here. I don't want to look back and regret that I didn't do more to win. Chip in right now:
