They would love nothing more than to see us FAIL, which is why it’s going to take all hands on deck to make sure that never happens.” The email gave options to donate a gift that would be “instantly 600% matched” meaning, for example, that a donation of $5 would be matched by $35. 2.15am BST The convention highlighted Democrats’ calls for stricter gun laws, with several people sharing stories about how their lives have been affected by gun violence.
