Hillary Clinton and her team have been pushing a new $1 fundraising campaign pegged to Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate, but in their latest version the candidate says donations have nothing to do with money.

Instead, borrowing a theme used prominently by first lady Michelle Obama, Clinton says a $1 contribution is more about showing that supporters have her back.

Friend —
Tonight is the first Democratic debate, and I would love for you to become an official Debate Donor before it starts. All you have to do is chip in $1 before tonight.
It’s not about the money. It’s about knowing that when I step on that stage, you’ll be behind me. It means so much to know that you’re fighting for me, just like I’ll fight for you and your family every single day I’m in office.
The debate is in a few hours. Are with me?
Thank you,
Hillary
