Hours ago, we shattered our By the People Fund goal. We’ve received more than 3 million grassroots donations to fund our work this fall.

We hit the mark a month early, and now have an incredible opportunity to expand the ambitious Vote 2010 plan we built together earlier this year.

But tomorrow, September 30th, marks a critical deadline. We’ll close the books on the quarterly fundraising numbers we have to report to the FEC and the national media.

And Thursday, at midnight, we’ll be finalizing much of our Vote 2010 budget. We’ll have to make tough decisions about which races we’ll be able to play a role in. What you do between now and tomorrow night will determine the impact we have on tight races across the country.

Can you donate $5 today to help us go big?

Right now, supporters in Seattle and around the country are helping to change the story of the 2010 election: the millions of phone calls you make, the numbers of voters you’re talking to, the more than 25,000 supporters who rallied last night with the President in Wisconsin — larger than any rally in Wisconsin during the presidential campaign.

How we do in the final days of this quarter will determine if we can keep telling that story.

Chip in $5 before tomorrow’s deadline — and help show the momentum we’re building:
