Dear WILLIAM,
It is sickening. But not surprising.
Today's Republican Party is so depraved that they're running ads in Florida trying to connect a Democratic candidate to 9/11 attacker Mohammed Atta. They're in North Carolina attacking Democratic Senate candidate Kay Hagan's faith and character. And in Colorado, Democratic Senate candidate Mark Udall is the target of a GOP robocall campaign making the insane accusation that he supports human cloning.
It's the same political strategy of fear and resentment we've seen for 30 years.
But this year they will fail miserably. Because our side has the answers America is looking for. And no two-bit attack ads will change that reality.
Our job in the hours and days ahead is to make sure our Senate candidates have every resource they need to rise above the attacks. We need more ads, more phone calls, and more voter-to-voter contact.
It's going to require the DSCC raising $100,000 in the 15 hours before midnight. And we've got to have you with us. Give right now and a group of Democratic senators will TRIPLE every contribution before the deadline.
Your contribution of any amount - even as little as $5 - will combine with thousands of others to help us fight back over the last five days.
Click here to rush a contribution of $5 or more to the DSCC to help Democrats win a filibuster-proof Senate majority.
In five days, we will send these Karl Rove disciples a message they will never forget when we put Barack Obama in the White House and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate.
But we've got to respond to this disgusting slander against our candidates now, because we know it works if left unanswered.
The DSCC has to raise $100,000 every day this week to keep all 12 Democratic Senate candidates in close races on the path to victory. Otherwise, these despicable attacks will carry the day.
This garbage is disgraceful. And I am asking you to pledge just $5 to stand with me and fight back.
Click here to rush a contribution of $5 or more to the DSCC to help Democrats win a filibuster-proof Senate majority. We only have hours left to meet our daily deadline, which is why a group of Democratic senators will TRIPLE every contribution you give today.
This is one of your final chances to make a difference. You can give us the biggest Democratic Senate majority we have had in 30 years.
But we need your help this minute.
Sincerely,
Sen. John Kerry
