Since we let you all know about our 500,000 online donation milestone for the quarter, you all have stepped up in a big way. We now have just 62,000 donations to go by next Tuesday. Like Katie said, a lot of people we were counting on aren’t picking up the phone, and we’re expecting a HUGE dip in the next couple of days (it’s the holidays, we get it!). But these goals are real and important, so we’re sending this email to you, hoping you can come through. Please read our finance update below and chip in $5 to help us hit our milestone for our most critical, and most difficult, deadline yet: If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: $5 $25 $50 $100 $250 Other Team Joe ---ORIGINAL MESSAGE--- My name is Katie and I’m Joe Biden’s National Finance Director. And I’ll be blunt. I’m worried. That’s why I’m emailing you to ask for $5 before our end-of-year fundraising deadline. Joe did an amazing job at the debate on Thursday, but the truth is with the crazy news cycle and holiday season, it’s just tough to get through to folks this time of year. The last three donors I called didn’t pick up the phone. And with December being our most important deadline of the year, that worries me. A lot. But, frankly, as Joe’s National Finance Director, it’s my job to worry about these things. We need the final number we post from 2019 to show we have the strength to be the nominee, and we need it to fund the budget we made to win in every state. So we really need to hit our goal of 500,000 contributions for the quarter before the books close in 2019. It’s ambitious, but it’s non-negotiable. I’m begging -- don’t let us fall short. Pitch in $5 to help us make sure we hit this donation goal for the entire quarter » If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: $5 ➞ $25 ➞ $50 ➞ $100 ➞ $250 ➞ Other ➞ We’ve come together as a team before to hit steep goals and shock the political class. We can do it again. But not without you. So before I sign-off, I’m going to ask you one more time. If you care about nominating Joe Biden, the BEST Democrat to defeat Donald Trump, can I count on a $5 contribution from you right now? Thanks for being on this team -- let’s win! Katie Petrelius National Finance Director, Biden for President

in case you missed these

I usually don't send these messages, but with people about to take off for the holidays, I worry that fundraising could dry up.

I usually don’t send these messages, but with people about to take off for the holidays, I worry that fundraising could dry up. Can you help us stay on track with a $5 gift? If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: $5 ➞ $25 ➞ $50 ➞ $100 ➞ $250 ➞ Other ➞ On Saturday, our National Finance Director Katie reached out to let you know that she’s worried about our end-of-quarter deadline next week. Then on Sunday, the Vice President himself reached out to let you know that this week is especially tough to fundraise. From: Katie, JoeBiden.com Subject: I’m worried From: Joe Biden Subject: brutally honest Now, I’m following up on their notes because they were right. A lot of our core supporters are already offline. As a result, we’re a bit behind on our fundraising goals, but if we can secure another 6 donations from 20164 before midnight, I think it would put us right back on track. If I can count on you to send a $5 gift tonight, please act now to stand with me and help Joe hit his end-of-quarter fundraising goal: If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: $5 ➞ $25 ➞ $50 ➞ $100 ➞ $250 ➞ Other ➞ Thanks for being someone that I can rely on!

we need to get our ads on TV

With only 42 days until Iowa, the airwaves are already filled with our competitors' ads.

And let me tell you, it's never been more important that undecided voters see our ads on TV. With only 42 days until Iowa, the airwaves are already filled with our competitors' ads. So if we have to cut our TV budget, it would give them a huge advantage in the final stretch. But if we can raise $100,000 through this email, we can reach ONE MILLION households in Iowa. Chip in $5 or $25 to our advertising budget so we can make sure one million households, in critical states like Iowa, see our ads on their TV: If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: $5 ➞ $25 ➞ $50 ➞ $100 ➞ $250 ➞ Other ➞ Our Iowa organizers say everyday that we need more ads on the air. When voters see our message about why Joe Biden is the best candidate in the race to unite the country and beat Donald Trump, it really makes a difference. When we talk to folks in Iowa after they watch an ad, they often say they’re more likely to commit to caucus for us. So please don’t let my TV ad budget get cut. The sooner we can reach $100,000, the sooner I can greenlight an ad buy to reach one million Iowa households. Chip in $5 today to make sure that we can put our message in front of ONE MILLION households in Iowa this week: If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: $5 ➞ $25 ➞ $50 ➞ $100 ➞ $250 ➞ Other ➞ Let's do this, Jordan F.
