Dear Robert,

You know all those small dollar donations that Democratic campaigns and organizations have been racking up? Well, the GOP wants them too. Bad.
 
Last week a top Republican committee blatantly copied their Democratic counterpart's email style. *The GOP's getting desperate and just now starting to realize the impact of digital fundraising.* It's a shame they're lacking original ideas.

*The right can copy and paste email language from the left, but they sure can't copy and paste the left's fundraising platform, ActBlue.* Our online system makes it possible for Democrats to focus their efforts on expanding their community of small-dollar donors to overpower the rich Republican donors.
 
*Will you chip in $10 right now so we're prepared for the onslaught of grassroots donations this fall? [ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/copycats?refcode=t1_pt&amp;amount=25.00 ]*
 
Republicans will continue to dominate the big-dollar donation market--their uber-wealthy donors can easily funnel their money anonymously through the Koch brothers' opaque political groups.
 
Democrats don't need to copy anyone's tactics; we're leading the charge in digital fundraising and organizing. *Our party is stronger because we value empowering the grassroots and making it possible for every candidate to run.*

We built ActBlue 10 years ago so that campaigns and organizations would have a powerful fundraising tool, capable of handling thousands of contributions every hour. *All those $5 and $10 donations add up.* And the GOP is clearly jealous.
 
The right doesn't have a version of ActBlue yet...but they're clearly trying and will stop at nothing to catch up! Will you chip in $10 right now so that we can continue to innovate and stay ahead of the Republican copycats? *[ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/copycats?refcode=b1_pt&amp;amount=25.00 ]*

From all of us at ActBlue, thanks.
