Michael Williams for Congress – Join the team!

By parkercountyblog on July 1, 2011

Dear Friend,

It’s been a little more than a week since we launched our campaign for Congress, and already the response from the people of the 33rd district and across Texas has been overwhelming.

We’re off to a great start, but tonight our campaign faces a critical early test: At midnight we will close the books on the first fundraising quarter of our Congressional campaign.

Can you help us finish strong by making a donation before midnight tonight?

This early in the campaign, every dollar counts. Your grassroots support — just $10, $35, or $50 — will be a great early show of strength for our campaign.

That’s why your participation is critical. Please help us reach our goal by making a contribution in these final hours before midnight.

Thank you,
