I like the approach of ItStarts.Today - here's an e-mail from them.
Although this solicitation doesn't seem to follow the model they describe on their web site.
*************************
Help us keep up the pressure in this year's special elections
Two weeks ago, Democrat Jon Ossoff finished with more than twice the votes of his nearest Republican competitor in a special election in Georgia’s 6th District, securing a spot in a June runoff.
We got in touch then because something amazing happened: In more than thirty years, no Democrat had ever finished first in an election for Georgia’s 6th. Jon Ossoff’s amazing performance proves that Democrats can be competitive whenever and wherever we actually compete. And in less than a month, we have another chance: Rob Quist is running to fill Montana's open seat in the House of Representatives.
It Starts Today is proud to support Jon Ossoff in Georgia, Rob Quist in Montana, and other Democratic nominees running in special elections this year. That’s why we’re asking our supporters to chip in a special supplemental donation to fund our nominees in Georgia’s 6th and Montana’s at-large districts, and in Alabama’s special Senate election.
I’ll be blunt: our model is designed to rebuild the Democratic Party in the long term, not to focus on emerging races like the ones in Georgia and Montana. But our core mission is to grow the party by supporting Democratic candidates everywhere, and as one of IST’s earliest supporters, I know you care about seeing these two candidates succeed.
These races will send a strong message that no district is safe for Republicans to take for granted, and that Democrats are ready to resist Donald Trump’s agenda at every step. Will you join us in backing Jon Ossoff, Rob Quist and our Senate candidate in Alabama by chipping in $6?
Thanks for stepping up,
Jonathan
Founder, It Starts Today
