Let's Build on this Momentum

We asked and you delivered.  This morning the Presumptive Nominee Fund for President had raised just  $448 from 20 contributors.  Today ActBlue Democrats responded to our call to action.  As of this post the fund had raised $4,510 from 84 people.  The Start Fighting Now page alone has raised $4,013!

Thank you so much for joining our effort.

Your contributions will help ensure that our candidate is ready to fight the Republican nominee. We're going to keep building the momentum we've started today, and we'd love your help.

Can you help us

ActBlue fights for the Democratic Party in its most vulnerable places. Help our nominee today.  Start Fighting Now for the White House!

Start Fighting Now

Are you ready to to take back the White House?  I know I am. 

At the moment we don't know who the Democratic nominee will be.  What we do know is that both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have inspired voters across the nation.  We also know that no matter who the nominee is they're going to need a sizable war chest to defeat the McCain machine.

I'm ready to start fighting now.  And ActBlue has a way to do that: the Presumptive Democratic Nominee fund for President.  Contributions will be forwarded to the Democratic nominee as soon as he or she has secured the nomination.

Political Director Erin Hill just sent an email out to ActBlue users explaining more.  Below is an excerpt from that email.  Emphasis mine.

The Republicans have their nominee. Time and time again, this is where Democrats are most vulnerable: we take months to select a nominee, and we fight divided against a unified Republican voice.

The hardest, the biggest, the most important fight right now is the fight for the White House.

We need everyone to start working on building a war chest for the Democratic Nominee. That's why we've created a way for you to help our nominee even before he or she is chosen.

Donate today to help our candidate hit the ground running.
