re: Joe's big announcement

We have an opportunity to enact lasting change, Steven, and we cannot afford to let it pass by.

Steven, I learned a lot about Joe Biden, serving alongside him for eight years. From navigating the worst financial crisis our country had seen since the Great Depression to confronting public health crises like H1N1, I knew that I could always rely on Joe's decency and honesty -- and his belief in the dignity of working people. Joe Biden showed me how critical a vice president is to leading this country. It's the first truly important decision a president makes. And I was proud to see that Joe nailed his choice by selecting Senator Kamala Harris to be his running mate. Together, their capacity for empathy and sincere faith in the American people will not only guide us through the multiple crises we face today, but help our country move closer to fulfilling its founding promise of equality and justice. But I'll be honest, Steven: Joe and Kamala face a tough road ahead. And it's our duty as Democrats to step up for them -- and Democrats down-ballot -- by supporting the Democratic Unity Fund. This fund powers the organizers, voter outreach, and technological infrastructure we need to win seats at every level, all across America. And with only 64 days left to make our case to the American people, I am counting on you to chip in whatever you can to help Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats nationwide. Steven, will you donate your first $7 to the Democratic Unity Fund before tonight's deadline? This moment in our nation's history demands we step up and take action -- and that starts with electing Democrats up and down the ballot in November. DONATE: $7 DONATE: $10 DONATE: $25 DONATE: $50 DONATE: $100 Donate another amount Joe Biden is exactly the kind of leader we need right now. He has the vision, plan, and character to move this nation forward -- and with Kamala as his running mate, I am confident that our best days lie ahead. We have an opportunity to elect experienced, compassionate leaders at the highest levels of public office in November. But that can only happen if we put in the work while we still have time to meaningfully reach voters before they start turning in their ballots. Waiting to get involved until right before Election Day is simply too late, so I'm asking you to come off of the sidelines and demonstrate your commitment to a fairer tomorrow. Please donate $7 to the Democratic Unity Fund before tonight's end-of-month deadline so that our party has the resources needed to elect Democrats up and down the ballot this year. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats nationwide are counting on your support as we embark upon the final stretch of this race. I'm in this fight right alongside you, Steven. Yours, Barack Obama P.S. When I chose Joe Biden as my running mate back in 2008, I was drawn to his empathy and compassion. I saw a man who devoted his life to public service and approached his job with the same dedication and heart he would his family. With Joe Biden and Kamala Harris running on our party's official ticket, we can see this type of leadership again. Please donate $7 -- or whatever you can -- before tonight's FEC deadline to support our party in these crucial, final months before Election Day.
