Dear #,
Last night, thousands of John Edwards supporters gathered in living rooms all across the country to spread the word about John's vision for our country.
That's the kind of grassroots commitment and activism we need to truly change America. It's the kind of commitment where each of us does our part, large or small, to make a difference for the future of our country—and where every single one of us plays a critical role in this campaign.
Today, we'd like to ask you to play another critically important role. In less than 72 hours, the first quarter fundraising deadline will be upon us. We each just pitched in $100 to meet our goals. Will you join us in supporting John Edwards by contributing any amount you can afford to give today?
http://johnedwards.com/r/8956/776654/From the beginning, when John and Elizabeth Edwards spoke to us about the kind of campaign they wanted to run for the presidency, we knew that to achieve the fundamental change that John believes in, we'd have to involve the American people from day one.
Only a truly grassroots campaign—one that empowers and involves people every step of the way—could build the kind of support that John Edwards will need not simply to become the next president, but to become the kind of president with the strength and support to lead our country in the direction it needs to go.
In the last three months, we've been working here in Chapel Hill and all over the country helping John Edwards build that campaign.
But the truth is, you've built this campaign for change. You built it by leading the way in your own communities through our national days of action, and by helping to spread the word about John's plans for universal health care, stopping global warming, and fighting poverty. You've built it by showing your friends and family what it means when we each remember that we're all in this together—and that we have a responsibility to work not just for ourselves, but for each other.
Can you help once more, today, by contributing any amount you can afford? Even a small contribution, when added together with the thousands of contributions from others receiving this email, can make a tremendous difference:

On behalf of all of us on the campaign,
Jonathan Prince, Jennifer Swanson, Mathew Gross
John Edwards for President
(Currently 1.8 million has been raised in this drive. Let's help push it over 2 million!)
