Update from Edwards HQ: 10 hrs. left! [View All]

At headquarters in Chapel Hill, the campaign team is working around the clock to reach our goal of $1 million online by midnight tonight. (You can give online until midnight tonight in YOUR local time zone.)

Ten hours left. This is it—there's no "later" this time. We're so close to hitting our goal, and your contribution—no matter how big or small—could be the one that puts us over the top. Please give what you can:

Ten days ago, we put our online campaign in your hands. We did the math, and told you that to stay on target we needed to raise $1 million online by midnight tonight. None of us knew if that was possible. We knew that you had come through for us before—could we count on you again?

Today, as I write this, we only have $79,212 to go. We can do it.

Thousands of you have helped put us closer to hitting our target. Now, we are counting on you to take the final step and put us across the finish line before midnight in your local time zone.

We're on a path to victory—but we need your support today to get there. Your contribution—up to $250 for the primary—can be matched through public financing. By choosing public financing, John is rejecting business as usual in Washington and the power of the lobbyists and special interests. Instead, he is putting his faith in grassroots supporters like you.

An opinion poll out just yesterday shows that, in a head-to-head contest with Rudy Giuliani, John Edwards wins handily, 50% to 41%. The same poll shows John with a ten-point lead over Fred Thompson, 49% to 39%.

If we give the American people a choice between a Democratic candidate who wants to get the money out of the corrupt system and a Republican drowning in buckets of special interests cash, the Democratic candidate wins, overwhelmingly.

John Edwards is that candidate.

That's why, with matching funds for low-dollar contributions, your support in the next ten hours means more than ever.

Take a moment to remember why you want John Edwards in this race—and in the White House. Is it someone you know who needs health care? A relative serving in Iraq? Children who don't deserve to inherit a world damaged by global warming?

Whatever your reason, your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make all the difference.

Please give whatever you can:
