Democrats --
The stakes in this election are really astonishingly high -- and it's not just because the ideas of a Romney presidency or a Republican-controlled Senate are so scary. If you think about the opportunities to make change we have in front of us, this election is about more than the next four years. It's about what kind of country our kids and our grandkids will grow up in.
 The outcome is up to us -- donate $X or more today:  
Every day, I'm working to fight for that progress. And this February, my fight got even more serious: My son, Sam, was born. Every day when I come to work, I'm thinking about Sam's future.
I first got involved in the Obama organization in 2007. As a Democrat, I wanted to fight for bold proposals that were crucial and serious, but also hopeful. A health care system that doesn't turn its back on anyone when they need care the most. An end to America's war in Iraq, and a country that fights for our middle class instead of stepping back and telling people they're on their own.
I'd do anything for Sam. And in the next four months, we're up against an unprecedented amount of campaign spending from the other side. But the work we do, and whether we're able to pull together will change Sam's future -- and yours and mine. All of ours.
 Please join Democrats today and help protect the progress that will leave our country better than we found it:

One day, I know Sam will thank you. Right now he's working on learning to crawl. 
Thanks so much for all you do.
Sincerely,
Lucas
