Friend --
I'm not trying to be dramatic about this (I swear! I'm really not!), but there's a situation developing in Iowa and New Hampshire that could change the course of this election.
Last month, we told you about how much money Bernie Sanders' campaign was raising. Now, the other shoe has dropped: I just found out that he's outspending us on TV advertising in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Adding more TV ads just isn't in our budget. We're locked into spending critical funds on organizing and field offices, and if we cut into that budget, we'll lose what this campaign is all about. I'm not going to do that. The only way to fix this is with your help. Chip in $1 today, and help close the gap in Iowa and New Hampshire:
Thanks,
Robby

Just curious: What is the campaign all about (according to Mook)? And why would that be lost by spending more on TV ads or less on organizing and field offices?

Just a guess, but scaring supporters might be an effective fundraising strategy. n/t

They are asking for more money, so they devote some resources to ads.

We've burned through all our millions! Just like 8 years ago! Please send more money, or Hillary will be forced to give herself a loan, just like 8 years ago!
