"Field margins" could give us a blue tsunami. If we act now.

Across the country, races are going to be decided by "field margins"—meaning that the difference between winning and losing will come down to the work we do on the ground: knocking on doors, making phone calls, texting, and making sure that voters in communities across the country get out to the polls on November 6.

Dear MoveOn member,

I'm fired up and ready for a blue wave to wash over our nation. But—as is true in all close elections—it all comes down to the ground game in these crucial final days. We need to use every single ounce of energy, grit, and determination we have left to get out the vote.

Across the country, races are going to be decided by "field margins"—meaning that the difference between winning and losing will come down to the work we do on the ground: knocking on doors, making phone calls, texting, and making sure that voters in communities across the country get out to the polls on November 6.

I'm proud that the progressive movement is fueled by people power, and for the past several months, MoveOn has been using that incredible power to run the biggest and most sophisticated midterm election program in its 20-year history.

With just five days left before Election Day, it's time for us to come together and help MoveOn bring it on home, which is why I'm writing to you today with a simple request:

Can you dig deep today and make one final contribution to support MoveOn's 2018 midterm election campaign?

I believe in MoveOn members. You have been with me in some of the most important fights of our generation in the last two years.

I fought alongside you in a historic battle for the Supreme Court last month and then stood alongside MoveOn members again just last week in Wisconsin to appeal to voters about the stakes in this election.

As I traveled all around the United States over the last few weeks, I saw firsthand the incredible work that MoveOn members are doing to elect inspiring progressive champions who will put a stop to Donald Trump's horrifying agenda.

Thousands of MoveOn members are volunteering directly for candidates in their communities, bringing good old-fashioned shoe leather effort to widen the field margins in more than 100 swing districts across the country.

MoveOn volunteers are sending tens of millions—yes, you read that right—of text messages reminding voters to register to vote, sharing information about MoveOn-endorsed candidates, and asking voters to pledge to vote on Election Day.

And MoveOn is running an innovative voter persuasion program called "Real Voter Voices" to get the word out about candidates in crucial swing districts, using more than 2,000 powerful and persuasive personal videos submitted by MoveOn members.

MoveOn's midterm election program is the real deal, and in these critical final days, it could prove to be the deciding factor in races across the country. But with just five days left, time is running out for MoveOn to raise and spend money on this vital work.

Which is why I'm asking you to make your final contribution to MoveOn's 2018 midterm election program today, Eddie.

I am so inspired by the incredible energy of the transformative candidates who are running for office up and down the ballot.

I'm inspired by Stacey Abrams, who has spent her life fighting for Georgians and could now become the first Black woman ever elected governor anywhere in the United States.

I'm inspired by Beto O'Rourke, who has a real chance to unseat Ted Cruz in Texas, help Democrats take a majority in the Senate, and become the first Democratic senator from Texas in over 25 years.

And I'm inspired by Lucy McBath, whose son, Jordan Davis, was shot and killed by a white man for playing his music too loud in his car and who has turned her private tragedy into public action and has turned a solidly Republican district into a toss-up.

If we want to succeed in electing these transformative candidates, we cannot afford to get complacent. Polls across the country are tightening, and the success or failure of the blue wave depends on how many people we can get out to vote.

Not a single one of us should be sitting on the sidelines now. We have to finish this fight strong—and victorious.

Will you make one final contribution to MoveOn's 2018 midterm election work right now?

Thanks for all you do.

Will you support MoveOn's efforts to win this election? Michael Moore says, "MoveOn is working around the clock to help organize and turn out volunteers to get out the vote in November. I know that MoveOn members like you are moving heaven and earth to win this election. We're the majority. But we need to rise up. That's the only way out of this mess." Will you stand with MoveOn?
