Hi folks — A few of these to send from the First Lady later next week. Let me know if you have any flags, and thanks.

It’s graduation season, NAME. These past few weeks, students from all over the country have had a chance to celebrate their accomplishments and reflect back on how far they’ve come over the last few years. This year, Barack gave the commencement address at Howard University, right here in D.C. He joked that he really felt old, realizing the young people receiving their diplomas that day were just starting high school when he first became President.

That’s pretty incredible to think about. We have come so far these past seven and a half years, and so much of that work was on behalf of these young people who are going out into the world. From immediate concerns like health insurance to student loan repayment, to bigger picture issues like the threat of climate change, just look at how far we’ve come.

And NAME, we wouldn’t have gotten here without the support of folks like you each step of the way. I’m truly in awe of all that we accomplished together, but I’m also mindful of all the what remains to be done. So if you can, pitch in $10 or more today to help make sure we can build on this by electing Democrats who share our vision for a brighter future for all Americans:

Thank you for all you do and the part you’ve played in this progress. Having you standing here with us means more than I can say.

FRIEND --

It really means a lot whenever you support the party we all share -- whether you’re volunteering your time, signing your name to a petition, or <LINK>chipping in a few bucks when you can to help elect Democrats.<LINK>

With XXX days left between now and Election Day, Barack and our Democratic candidates need every bit of your support -- because we know that those days will go by faster than you or I can imagine.

So today, I’m reaching out to ask you for your help [ALT FOR DONORS: AGAIN]. Can I count on you to pitch in $10 or more to support Democrats?

As always, NAME, thank you.

Michelle

Friend --

We’re headed into the part of any election that Barack likes to call "silly season."

But through all the distractions, I hope you never forget that we're fighting for the American dream. We're fighting to make sure that every single person in this country has the opportunity to succeed. And nothing can take away from just how meaningful that work us.

The next major fundraising deadline of this election is coming up in just a few days. I hope I can count on you to pitch in $10 or whatever you can before then to help finish what we started together.

Thank you so much.

Michelle
