Thanks from Ted Kennedy - $30,000 raised for Senator Byrd

By email from kennedy.com

Over the last two weeks you have shown what can be done when Democratic activists work together.

It's a powerful force that many Democrats -- and Republicans -- are beginning to notice.

Just last week alone, you raised over $30,000 for Senator Byrd. That much-needed boost catapulted Senator Byrd's campaign past its $55,000 goal -- and even exceeded the amount his opponents have spent working against him.

You gave Senator Byrd the ability to respond to his attackers.

As we continue to exercise our power together, the TedKennedy.com community will reach out to more Americans who stand for the same values we do.

And there hasn't been a more important time to grow than right now.

Senator Kennedy and his fellow Democrats in the Senate are going to need your help. Over the next six weeks, we will make sure that John Roberts answers the questions that Americans ask -- not just the ones the Bush Administration wants to hear.

No matter their Party, Americans deserve a full and fair hearing -- not a rubber stamp approval.

Later this week, you will have the opportunity to raise the questions you want answered. And with the collective power of this community -- the same power that came to Senator Byrd's defense--we will make sure they are heard.

It's time that the Senate listens to the people they represent -- not the special interests or radical ideologues that selfishly undermine our democracy.

You are doing an invaluable service to the United States Senate through your support of Senator Kennedy. Thank you.

Now, let's keep up the fight--together.

Sincerely,

Marty Walsh
