Dear Robert,

Just 158 families have contributed half of the funds raised so far for the 2016 election.

According to The New York Times, most of the donors are white, male, and Republican. And they're determined to remake America in their narrow image.

These mega-donors would like to convince us that their conservative economic agenda is what's best for all Americans. But what they're really out to do is protect their own wealth.

Democrats believe in a true democracy where all of our voices can be heard, not just the voices of the people who can write the biggest checks. ActBlue's platform helps Democrats engage with small-dollar donors across the country, and those supporters need a voice now more than ever.

Will you chip in $5 a month so we can continue to help grassroots donors make a difference in 2016?

This election is on the fast track to being bought and paid for by a small group of families who decided to take action early, and think they get to determine the outcome of the election. 

That's exactly the opposite of what a democracy should be. And it's why we've built a platform that is both for the people and powered by the people. 

But we can't continue providing Democrats with the tools they need to build winning, grassroots-fueled campaigns without small-dollar donors like you.

If we don't get to work now, a handful of wealthy families will ensure that a Republican wins the presidency next November.

Will you chip in $5 a month to help us scale up our tools for 2016?
