error: there is no parameter $1

I get "error: there is no parameter $1" when I try to run this code using
the node-postgres <https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres> client:

client = pg.connect(connectionString, function(err, client, done){
if(err) console.log(err);
client.query('INSERT INTO causes (cause_name, goal, organization,
sponsor, submitter) VALUES ($1,$2,$3,$4,$5)', r, function(err){
console.log('This is r' + r)
if (err) console.log(err);
});
});

Any advice?

PS:
This is the full error statement:
{ [error: there is no parameter $1]
name: 'error',
length: 87,
severity: 'ERROR',
code: '42P02',
detail: undefined,
hint: undefined,
position: '81',
internalPosition: undefined,
internalQuery: undefined,
where: undefined,
file: 'parse_expr.c',
line: '812',
routine: 'transformParamRef' }
