Hey, do you have a minute?

I’ll make this quick: Since Elizabeth emailed you this morning, this team has stepped up. Big time.

We are so close to hitting our May fundraising goal, and your contribution can help push our campaign over the top.

So what do you say? Can you chip in $3 and help our campaign reach this important goal before tonight’s deadline?

see you on the road -roger

There's only one way we're raising money for this campaign.

I'm not holding any fundraisers where you can only get in by writing a big check — because a person's wealth shouldn't determine the amount of time they can spend with me or any presidential candidate.

I'm not counting on a billionaire to fund a Super PAC for me — because the Democratic primary can't just be one more plaything for the rich and powerful.

I'm not taking a dime from federally registered lobbyists, corporate PACs, or PACs of any kind — because our campaign is about people, not powerful special interests.

Instead, we're building a true grassroots campaign with grassroots donors — because that's the only way we'll create a movement strong enough to make big, structural change in our economy, our government, and our democracy.

I wouldn't ask if it weren't powerfully important: Today is the last day to reach our May fundraising goal. So will you make your first donation to our campaign? $3 or whatever you can chip in would make a huge difference. We can't do this without you.

On a typical presidential campaign, during the last few days of the month, I’d fly from big city to big city to scoop up as many big fat checks as possible. We’d be trying to squeeze every last dollar out of bigwig donors to help hit our monthly fundraising goal.

They might come see me at a fancy reception in hedge fund offices or in a backyard of a huge mansion. They'd sip champagne, nibble on some food, and try to convince me that the tax loophole that just so happens to pad their pockets is also good for the whole country.

But I'm not running to be a president who only pays attention to the wealthy and well-connected.

I'm running to be everybody's president. My time is not for sale, and every supporter has an equal place in our movement.

If you ask me, that's what a campaign for president should be all about. Talking with people across the country, in their hometowns, about real solutions to real problems. And getting organized at the grassroots level to make change happen.

But this type of campaign is only possible if everyone who is able pitches in what they can.

I'm running to be the best president that money can't buy, but I can't do it alone. This is how we'll stop Washington from just answering to the beck and call of billionaires and giant corporations — one grassroots donation at a time.

Please make your first contribution before tonight’s fundraising deadline to own a piece of this campaign. Let's build something incredible together.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
