This is the last time we'll do this.

Tonight is the campaign's final FEC deadline.

I'm asking you to chip in before midnight.

Right now, this race is very close -- the outcome will come down to what we do with the next 20 days.

If we win, it'll be because each of us stepped up to do our part at moments like this.

Donate $X or more today, and stand with me for the final weeks of my last campaign:

Every deadline, our campaign reports to the FEC every supporter who has donated $X or more, the only official record of the Americans who own a piece of this campaign.

You are just $X away from crossing that threshold -- and this is your last chance to get there.

Donate $X and stand with me for the final weeks of my last campaign:

It's only because of everything you've done over the past 18 months that we're in a place to win this election.

We've got three weeks to get this done.
