From a campaign e-mail:

I’m writing you as we travel between events here in South Carolina. This is important, so please take a minute now to hear me out.

Chip Saltsman, my national campaign manager and I just reviewed our final get out the vote plan. While we feel it is a strong plan, we have isolated one area that needs strengthening and immediate improvement. We want to increase our voter identification and turnout calls and the price tag for these additional calls is $170,000.

Will you make an immediate contribution of $15, $25, $50, $100, $250 or even $500 today online to help us fund this effort?

We have set a goal of raising this money by tonight at midnight so we can ramp up our calls in time for the South Carolina primary. If your financial support comes in after this deadline we won't be able to invest it in time for the South Carolina primary.
