We're Raja's parents, Dr. K.S. and Vijaya Krishnamoorthi and we're reaching out to tell you why we're so proud of our son and how excited we are to watch Vice President Kamala Harris speak in Chicago in just 24 hours. We'd love it if you would read this whole email, but if you're short on time, will you chip in $100 to help us reach 937 grassroots donations for Raja before tomorrow's convention speech so he can help Democrats win the White House and Congress? It would mean the world to have your support. >> Sandeep, our family comes from humble beginnings. When we first immigrated to the United States, we faced economic hardships and worked hard to achieve the American Dream. But never in our wildest dreams did we think someone from our small hometown – Tamil Nadu, India – would run for President.  Truly, we couldn't be prouder to see Kamala Harris as our Democratic nominee.  Us with Kamala Harris, Raja, and our grandson! But we'll be honest, Sandeep: It's difficult to watch Donald Trump and his allies hurl insulting attacks at Democrats like Kamala Harris and Raja. And it would pain us so much to see these insults go unanswered and cost Democrats this election. So now, we're doing what parents do: We're stepping in and helping our son. We know it would mean the world to Raja to see 937 grassroots supporters step up today so he can help elect Kamala Harris and hand her a Democratic House. What do you say, Sandeep: Can you help Raja and chip in $100 before Kamala's convention speech in 24 hours? >> Sandeep, we hope you understand the gravity of this situation: Donald Trump launched despicable insults aimed at destroying Kamala Harris' legacy and image. And now, he's backing it up with $12 million worth of TV attack ads against her across the country. We'll be honest: We knew the moment a Black and South Asian woman was nominated to run for President, Trump's attacks wouldn't be far behind. But we know this in our hearts: Raja is exactly who we need in Congress and Kamala Harris is exactly who we need in the White House. That's why we're asking you to chip in $100, or whatever you can spare, in the 24 hours before Kamala's convention speech begins so Raja and Kamala can band together and answer these attacks. So please, Sandeep, can we count on you to chip in before Kamala Harris takes the stage? >> Chip in $100 immediately >> Chip in $19 immediately >> Chip in $24 immediately >> Chip in $50 immediately >> Chip in $100 immediately >> Or chip in another amount >>   Thank you so much!   Dr. K.S. and Vijaya Krishnamoorthi         Raja represents Illinois in Congress. The son of Indian immigrants, Raja grew up for a time on food stamps and in public housing. He knows the struggles countless Americans face every day. Now, Raja is leading the fight in Congress on prescription drugs, climate change, election reform, and a more inclusive economy. But Republican special interests are funnelling cash to defeat strong Democrats like Raja. He's counting on grassroots supporters to keep this campaign running strong. Can we count on you to chip in $10 so Raja can keep up the good fight in Congress?
