Think about this:
Ten votes per precinct in Ohio decided the 2004 election. That's it.
The difference between winning and losing in November could literally come down to whether we hire an organizer in May -- or whether we hire one a month earlier. That's because each organizer makes sure we reach hundreds of voters every week. And every single vote counts.
We face a major fundraising deadline in just two days: Will you pitch in $X or more today to make sure we hire as many organizers as possible and support everything we have to do right now, when it counts for more?
You can watch the progress in real time:
We've worked out that it costs just about $X including salary and supplies, to bring a field organizer onto our team from now until Election Day. Let's see -- with your help -- how many we're able to hire.
Please pitch in $X or more to help out today:

If a handful of votes in each precinct doesn't mean much to you right now, just imagine how much it could matter on Election Day. These organizers might cost about $X to us today, but they're worth far more than that to this organization and the future of our country. None of us wants to see the progress we've made these last three years rolled back.
Thanks for helping to make sure we're way ahead -- not a handful behind.
