All in

I think a lot about what made us so successful in 2018, especially as we try to find our way in this presidential race.

I think a lot about what made us so successful in 2018, especially as we try to find our way in this presidential race. Here's what I know: If we can replicate what we did in Texas all over this country — the energy, volunteering, the grassroots fundraising — we will not only defeat Donald Trump in 2020, but we will win the Senate and House and umpteen important state and local races.

I've seen up close what an energized grassroots campaign can accomplish. We didn't break the record for most votes for a Democrat in Texas because I was an amazing politician. We didn't raise more than any Senate campaign in history (most of it online) because I said NFL players who kneel are patriotic Americans. We didn't knock millions of doors because we had the biggest staff.

We broke those records because people in Texas and all over the country understood — some of them for the first time in their lives — that when millions of people come together we are extremely powerful.

We can run that kind of campaign against Trump in 2020. We can set our sights high. Break records for online fundraising. Break records for door knocking. Raise turnout as high as ever. Win so-called "red states" like Texas.

It all starts when we get a group of people together who are going to be fired up and say, "I'm all in." Today, I'm asking you to do that.

In three days we will close our public fundraising report for the FEC deadline. We need to raise $750k to show we have serious momentum.

Please — if you're fired up about building a grassroots movement to beat Trump and shake our politics up — will you make a $3 donation?

Contribute $3

Your donation today could be the one that tips us over the line on hitting our goal. And look, if only a few people give on an email like this one, it's not going to amount to much. But when hundreds, or thousands, or tens of thousands and eventually millions of people come together… that's a whole 'nother story.

That's when we break records. That's when we don't just eek out a win against Trump, but we flip Texas' 38 electoral college votes, flip the Senate, keep the House and roll into Washington DC with a mandate for change in 2021.

It's all possible. We just need everyone to be all in. And it starts with us hitting our goal: Please make a $3 donation right now towards our $750k goal before Monday's midnight FEC deadline.

What we do right now will determine whether or not we'll have a grassroots movement strong enough to accomplish all of this. I'm ready to fight for it, but I can't do it without you.
