Democrats 
 I'm the guy who controls the budget at the DNC. I don't usually send emails, but these aren't usual circumstances.
At this point in the election, my job starts to get stressful. There's so much we have to do. All of it is crucial, but it all costs money.
I'm the one who has to tell people "no" -- people who deserve to hear "yes" -- if we don't bring in enough money.
Donate $X or more to make sure I can tell people yes instead of no. [url] 
No, you can't hire another field organizer. No, you can't hire another legal expert to fight voter suppression. No, you can't buy more clipboards for volunteers coming in to register voters. It feels awful to have to say that.
You and I both know how much is at stake, and why it's critical to reelect the President and win races up and down the ballot.
There are things we must do to succeed. Help me say yes:
