This should scare Karl Rove

From an email...

xxx --

I like really simple facts and figures.

Here's one for the interest groups on the other side wondering what they're up against:

We're about to reach our 500,000th grassroots donor.

That fact should scare people like Karl Rove and the Koch brothers -- it's why we never shy away from a tough fight.

We're facing a huge fundraising deadline on June 30th, and I'm asking anyone who believes in what we're building to step up and chip in.

Make a donation, no matter the size, and invest in our grassroots movement.

According to our records associated with this exact email address:

-- 2014 Membership Status: Not yet
-- Suggested Action: Donate $5 or more today.

What I love about this next big grassroots milestone is that it's not just a symbol -- the half million people who have invested in growing this grassroots organization are real people, fighting for change in their own communities.

That's something the other side just doesn't have -- and it's why I like to say that we are the single greatest threat to the way those special interests do business.

Time and again, grassroots organizing has proven it can go toe-to-toe with anyone -- climate change deniers and big polluters, Obamacare repealers, the anti-marriage equality groups stuck in the past, and extreme anti-woman campaigns.

Just ask anyone where the $400 million spent trying to tear down Obamacare went -- because of grassroots organizing, that horrible, cynical funding was largely wasted.

The reason this all works is because people like you are willing to step up and actually put your money into what you believe in.

Will you chip in $5 or more today?

I only donate directly to candidates, limiting it to candidates who hold the same traditional Democratic Party values as I.

Third Wayers and other wolves in sheep's clothing get nothing from me.
