Like clockwork around the quarterly fundraising deadlines Dems make all kinds of dire predictions of doom and gloom so their supporter cough up some money.

Drew —

I’m going to be very honest with you:

If we fall short right now, our chances of winning a Democratic House for President Obama are slim to none.

Here’s the deal: Our first quarterly fundraising deadline is in just 72 hours. John Boehner is already bragging about the $14.4 million that Republicans have raised to attack President Obama and protect their Tea Party buddies. If we want to take back the House, we can’t let them pummel us like this right out of the gate.

We’ve run the numbers and we can close the gap — but it’s going to take another 35,000 supporters stepping up before Sunday’s FEC fundraising deadline. We need you to be a part of this:

The fundraising numbers we report for the first quarterly fundraising deadline of President Obama’s second term will show whether we can fight all the Republican attacks coming our way and build the early infrastructure that it’ll take to win.

If you’re as committed as I am to gaining a Democratic majority in 2014 — and hitting Republicans hard until then — donate whatever you can today:
