We’re not going to panic

Clinton campaign email:

Shankapotomus, I’ll be honest -- I’m getting really worried that our fundraising is lagging for the third month in a row. We missed our digital fundraising goal in August. Then we missed it by a bigger margin in September. Now we’re just six days into October, and we’re already more than $100,000 off pace.

At the same time, the Trump campaign says they're nearing 3 million individual donors -- while we're stuck at 2.6 million. While our team is falling behind, his supporters are stepping up. That is a really dangerous combination.

We’re not going to panic -- no “bedwetting” here, as some commentators like to call it. Instead, we’re going to show up for Hillary, get our team into gear, and get our fundraising back on track -- or we’re going to find out what happens when we hand Donald Trump a dangerous advantage.

We’ve set a must-hit goal of raising $7 million before Hillary’s second debate with Donald Trump on Sunday -- that’s the number we absolutely need to reach to get back on track, and we need 16 people from Freehold to step up today to get there. Can you help with $40 right now?

I just chipped in $27...I'm not going to post a link to the campaign website in case people don't trust links. (you all know how to find it)
