I just contributed my measly amount - but I want him to meet the goal of 15,000 donations! If you can help, let's send the Republicans a message. We canNOT afford to lose Russ in the Senate!!
Got this email earlier this evening: "Just a quick update on Russ's Cheddarbomb. We're at 9,792 grassroots online donors - just 5,208 away from our goal. Will you help put us over the top by making a contribution before midnight tonight?a"

Melissa,
15 for 15 Cheddarbomb." - Contribute Today!All the polls show this race is a toss-up and I expect it to remain tight until Election Day.
My opponent multimillionaire Ron Johnson thinks his checkbook can decide this election. He’s so confident about winning that he's already pledged to spend upward of $15 million of his own fortune, or “all of it,” to win.
Today, September 15, my campaign is launching our newest effort:“15 for 15 Cheddarbomb.” We'll match Ron Johnson's $15 million with the donations of 15,000 grassroots donors. This is our first-ever “moneybomb” or as we call it in Wisconsin – a “Cheddarbomb.” Our “Cheddarbomb” will show that my campaign can match Johnson's $15 million with 15,000 grassroots donations of our own – in a single day.
Contribute to our September 15 “Cheddarbomb” right now.
Our goal of 15,000 grassroots supporters is a pretty ambitious one-day goal, but my campaign is built on grassroots support, not on the support of Washington corporate interests. The only way to win this election is by having the strongest grassroots support and the absolute best ground operation. My campaign has already contacted 228,696 Wisconsin voters and opened 22 field offices across the state. The momentum is on our side. We'll win because we have the best volunteers and supporters, not because we rely on special interests and big checkbooks to help us win.
In fact, in just the past three months, Johnson has already spent $4 million on slash-and-burn television ads. Ron Johnson has millions of dollars to spend on attack ads, but you have a voice and it needs to be heard. That's why I need your help right now.
This is the first time a one-day online fundraising campaign has ever been attempted in Wisconsin campaign history. I hope you'll make this “Cheddarbomb” a success by standing up with me today!
Please contribute to my campaign's “15 for 15 Cheddarbomb” right now and help us reach our goal of 15,000 grassroots donors by midnight tonight.
Ron Johnson and the extremists want to win this election bad. They want to gut Social Security, roll back health care, and hand over our economy to the Wall Street profiteers who got us into this mess in the first place.
I'm extremely proud of my record and I hope you are too. I've spent the last 18 years protecting and creating jobs in Wisconsin, creating legislation to help our veterans, and helping small businesses grow. And do you know something else I'm proud of? Every election, I've relied on grassroots support – not corporate special interest support – to win in Wisconsin. This race is no different.
This election is in your hands. Don't let Ron Johnson and corporate special interests in Washington take it away.
Please contribute to my campaign's “15 for 15 Cheddarbomb” right now and help us reach our goal of 15,000 grassroots donors by midnight tonight.
Thanks for standing with me.
Sincerely,
Russ
Russ Feingold
United States Senator
