Tony --

A lot of the news this week has been about our campaign's fundraising results, but if you watched Messina's presentation on Wednesday, you heard him say the metrics we're most focused on are the numbers of people who are building this organization and bringing new supporters into our campaign.

This Saturday's Day of Action is the single biggest milestone yet in that effort. Volunteers in all 50 states will be knocking on doors and registering new voters -- doing the organizing work that is the real story of this campaign.

Can you join us in Las Vegas to help grow this campaign? Here are the details:

What: National Day of Action

Where: 8570 West Lake Mead Boulevard, Las Vegas NV 89128.
Las Vegas, NV 89128

When: Saturday, July 16th
10:00 am

It's early on in this election, but the more people we can get involved now, the more people we'll have with us as we knock on doors and make calls going forward -- so the impact of your organizing this weekend will multiply in the months to come.

Please help register voters in Las Vegas on Saturday:

Dear Tony,

I want to be the first one to tell you:

Thanks to your incredible support and your hard work, when we closed the books on June 30 we had raised over $1.2 million -- nearly $200,000 more than our opponent.

More than anything, I want to tell you -- thank you.

Having friends like you means so much to me. And it's extremely important as we move forward in our campaign for Nevada. We're going into the next quarter stronger than ever and with a powerful edge, and it's because of you.

Over the coming months, Nevadans are going to hear about my vision for our state's future. We have some tough competition, but by starting this race ahead, we're already in the best position possible.

Thanks for standing by me and for being part of our campaign.

Best,

Shelley

We're filing this campaign's first financial report with the Federal Election Commission on Friday.

You own this campaign, so you deserve to get this news first.

And thanks to you and other supporters all over the country, there's a lot of good news to share.

I'm not going to steal my own thunder here in the email -- you've got to watch the video to get the news about what we've raised, how we're spending it, and what's next:

The Washington chatter around the report we're releasing has focused on one number: the sum total we've raised.

But other numbers that the pundits often ignore -- like how many field offices we and the DNC have open, how many one-on-one conversations we've had with potential supporters, and how many people have already decided to own a piece of this campaign -- tell the real story of our campaign.

All those numbers are in the video, and they're the ones you should be proud of today. Watch it now:

One more thing: It's a fact that our opponents won't have hundreds of thousands of people giving whatever they can afford -- so they'll be relying heavily on money from two sources to fund an unprecedented barrage:

1. Washington lobbyists and special interests whose explicit aim is to influence the federal government in any way they can.

2. Outside groups that don't have to disclose a word about what they've raised or who they've raised it from, like one of Karl Rove's political organizations. His groups have set an astounding $120 million fundraising goal in their campaign to tear down President Obama.

The threat to our success from these determined groups -- acting solely in their own interest, not the public interest -- is real, and it's growing. And it's going to take serious commitment and vigilance from all of us to withstand their attacks while still building the grassroots campaign we'll need to win.

We're off to a solid start. But this is just the beginning.

So now, back to work.

Thanks,

Messina

Dear Tony,

On September 14, Reality needs you.

Every day, millions of dollars are spent trying to convince you that climate change isn't real. Or that humans don't cause it. Or that the biggest polluters are trying to solve the problem.

But climate change is a reality. And big polluters -- drawing from the playbook used by the big tobacco companies years ago -- are trying to fool citizens and consumers around the globe by denying proven science. So how can we get the world to embrace reality? How can we share the truth about the climate crisis?

Meet The Climate Reality Project. On September 14, in a 24-hour event spanning the globe, we're introducing a brand-new organization with one clear goal: to bring the facts about the climate crisis into the mainstream by engaging everyone -- especially leaders like you -- in a conversation about how to solve it.

But enough talk for now. Former Vice President Al Gore helped create this video to explain where we are going. Watch it:

Leading up to September 14, we will need our most ardent supporters with us to help promote the event and start the conversation. That means we need you.

We're building this new project on the foundation of the remarkable work we've done together as the Alliance for Climate Protection. We are joining together with The Climate Project -- a group of volunteer climate Presenters trained by Al Gore. So when you hear from us moving forward, it will be as The Climate Reality Project.

Thank you for your continued support.
