Hi Haruna,
I know this is the season when your inbox is bombarded with appeals for help -- but i can think of 14 million reasons why this one is so key. 14 million dollars is how much the right wing contributed the last couple months to try and knock off our senate majority leader, harry reid. they've made him target #1 in their effort to stop president obama and roll back the progress we've made - and make no mistake, without Harry Reid taking the flack and pressing on with guts and grit, we would not have won any of the big fights of the last two years. we need him here. The rightwing is trying to buy this seat for a truly dangerous and radical candidate, so even if you don't scroll through another email today, please do look at this one - and do whatever you can to help Harry ...
thanks, JK

Dear John,
A major development here in Nevada: My Tea Party opponent just announced that she received $14 million in donations in the last quarter. That could be enough to dominate Nevada airwaves in the critical final days and prevent us from exposing her wild rhetoric and dangerous extremism.
Nevada is just the front line in the Tea Party's assault on middle class families. My opponent would phase out Social Security and Medicare, end the VA as we know it, and eliminate the Department of Education. We cannot afford to lose our country like that.
Shadowy outside groups have bought tens of millions of dollars worth of television airtime. We are bracing for an unprecedented wave of attacks. And although we believe we are ahead in this race, our lead is fragile and we must have the resources to fight back against the smear attacks that may come our way in the final days.
This race is extremely close, but I know with your generous support, we're going to win on Election Day.
Harry Reid |
