Tom & Susan,

Great work. I am happy to do whatever asks you want as well. 

Paul.

Subject: Good meeting

Susan and I had a good meeting with Amy Dacey re: the fundraising. They are moving $1 million to us this week from funds already raised. There is another $2.2 million inside the 527 that can be available for messaging work at a future date. This is above and beyond whatever Steve may choose to do. 

We did some due dilligence on the fundraising plan. They have a path to around $40-60 million right now split 50-50. As John has noted a lot will depend on how things emerge from the primary.

Good stuff overall although I don't feel the overall fundraising plan is up to snuff yet. They aren't making enough asks. Amy says they are going to make some changes to get us there.

We can discuss next steps. The positive cash flow is a very good sign.

-Tom
