Just got this today. Gave them a few bucks, as well as Obama '12! :) Still can't believe we're already in this season, but ready for the fight!
Terrifying though to think that we could lose the Senate. :scared: Numbers too close for comfort, but I feel confidant after these last few more recent elections (NY-12 especially!). We are going to have to fight hard, though..I think JK very effectively stressed the seriousness of it here. :
Dear Tara,
With all that's at stake for our country's future, it’s critical that we have a strategy to win in 2012 -- not just to keep the White House, but to keep the Senate, because I don't just want to have a veto pen to protect our country, I want to see progress continue with a Democratic Senate.
But I'm going to be honest with you -- we’re facing an uphill battle when it comes to the Senate. Remember how Karl Rove and right-wing groups spent $72 million attacking Democrats running for the Senate in 2010? Well, they're doubling-down on the politics of smear and fear: they’ve already pledged to spend even more this time around--and so have the Koch Brothers.
That’s why some of the smartest, toughest, and most experienced Democrats in the business decided to bring in the reinforcements. They're calling it Majority PAC.
Help protect our Democratic majority in the Senate by contributing $5, $10, or $25 or more to Majority PAC today.
This new organization has one mission: go head-to-head against the big money smear machines that Karl Rove and his cronies built last year to attack Democratic candidates across the country.
We all know what the GOP wants. They want to end Medicare as we know it and continue to tilt the tax code to reward their special interest friends. And they want to return our nation to the days before health care reform ended the era of bureaucrats vetoing lifesaving medical decisions by doctors and patients.
Right now the Democratic Senate majority is protecting America from their outside the mainstream agenda -- and Majority PAC is going to make sure that the GOP can’t buy that majority in 2012.
Make a contribution of $5 or more today to stand with Majority PAC and protect our nation from the GOP's extreme agenda.
The GOP is going to come at each of our Democrats hard. But by standing with Majority PAC, you'll help make sure that our candidates have the resources they need to fight every dollar Karl Rove and the Koch brothers spend on attacks.
We're planning a strategy to win, and with your help, we're going to be ready.
Thanks for everything,
John Kerry
PS: Karl Rove and the Koch brothers spent big money last year to help the GOP take the House, and you can be sure that this year they have their sights set on the Senate. Help us protect our Democratic majority by contributing $5, $15, or $20 to Majority PAC right now.
