Go for it! Only a few hours left...

Before I get to the wonderful news, if you haven't already voted for Jerry McNerney at Forward  Together's "Map Changers" contest, please VOTE NOW!

There are several candidates jockeying for a Top 5 spot in the final round -- Jerry is in third place and the deadline is TONIGHT (Thursday) at 11:59 p.m.!

Now the shockingly good news. Two days ago, we set a goal of raising $200,000 by this Friday's Federal Election Commission reporting deadline. At that point, we had raised about $148K and figured $200K was an ambitious goal, especially since we "only" raised $61K in the ENTIRE first quarter.

I know I shouldn't be surprised -- especially after what you have accomplished in the last few weeks -- but Marivic and Nicholas, our finance team leads, just showed me the latest numbers. And I'm floored.

You filled the boot! In less than 48 hours, you raised over $50,000 to meet our original second-quarter goal!

Please don't stop now. If we are going to defeat Richard Pombo, it's going to take every last nickel and dime to do it.

To those who have given, Jerry wanted me to let you know how grateful he is to have such enthusiastic and generous supporters. And I want you to know that in all of the campaigns that I have worked on, from Ohio to California, I have never seen such a deep commitment to a candidate. It's amazing.

If you have not contributed yet, you still have until midnight on Friday to send a strong and clear message to the pundits and power brokers that we, together, can put an end to Pombo Politics.

Before 11:59 p.m. on Friday night, please click here to contribute $50, $100, $250 or whatever you can afford up to the federal limit of $2,100!

IMPORTANT NOTE: I've been getting this question from a number of supporters, so here's the answer: Yes, even if you contributed up to the $2,100 federal limit during the primary election, you can still contribute any amount up to the $2,100 federal limit for the general election. They are separate elections.

Thanks for all that you do!
