Lucas,
If it doesn't help billionaires and huge corporations, Republicans can't be bothered.
John Boehner's radical Republicans left town rather than pass a bill to protect middle class families from a $1,000 payroll tax hike. But Senate Democrats stood firm. Boehner caved. The interests of the 99 percent were protected.
This time.
10 Senate races are dead heats. If Republicans flip 4, they will seize complete control of Congress. We wouldn't be able to stop their next attack on the middle class.
That's why we must stop them now. And we only have days to do it.
We're still $234,000 short of meeting our Dec. 31 FEC deadline. If we miss this goal, the first stories of 2012 - election year - will be how Democrats fell short. We will lose momentum. Republicans will surge. We can't let that happen.
Can you give $5 or $10 right now? We can't stop the Republicans without your help.
We've reached the turning point in the upcoming election. The Iowa caucuses are only days away. This is when we grab momentum - or cede it to the Republicans.
This is when choices are made. We can have a fighter for the middle class Elizabeth Warren - or Wall Street's favorite senator Scott Brown. We can have a safety net beneath us - or nothing but bootstraps. We can strengthen the middle class - or favor billionaires by shifting the burden onto workers' backs.
I need you to be part of this choice. Join us. The DSCC relies on its more than 500,000 supporters to elect the Elizabeth Warrens, defeat the Scott Browns and ensure that the middle class has a voice in the Senate. Without you, we will fall short. We will lose.
I need you to give $5 or $10 right now. We still have $234,000 left to raise before our most important FEC deadline - only 5 days away. We can't stop the Republicans without your help.
I'm not about to let Republicans get away with their blatant attacks on the middle class - and I know you aren't either. It's time to back up our beliefs with action. Let's start 2012 with a massive sign of strength.
