Dear Lucas,
Republicans don't have to destroy Medicare. Republicans are choosing to destroy Medicare because preserving tax breaks for oil corporations and billionaires is a bigger priority to them.
This is why we fight. We can't allow Republicans - and their skewed priorities - to control the Senate, and they will if they gain just four seats. What you do right now truly matters!
The end of this month marks a critical FEC deadline. If we don't raise $710,342 by June 30, we won't have the resources to hold the Senate and stop their extreme agenda - such as ending Medicare - from becoming law. We CAN win, but we need you. Democratic senators will match every dollar you give - doubling your impact - because missing this goal isn't an option if we're going to hold the Senate.
Please give an immediate $5 or more to the DSCC. Every dollar you give will be matched - and will help keep Republicans out of power in the Senate. I'm counting on you to help stop them!
When I stepped up to lead the fight to keep our Senate majority, I told my Democratic colleagues that I would be all in, but I needed them to be all in, too. And they are. But that's not enough. I need each and every grassroots Democrat to step up, too.
We've seen the extremes Republicans are willing to go to - their dogged pursuit of ending Medicare is just one example. And they'll be attacking our candidates even harder than they're attacking our social safety net. Karl Rove's American Crossroads and Citizens United's own PAC are already gearing up.
We see what's coming. We know the fierce fight that lies ahead. And we know exactly what we need to do to win it. We can't wait. The Republicans sure aren't.
We must raise $710,342 by June 30 if we're going to keep Republicans out of power. Please give $5 or more right now. Every dollar you give will be matched and will help keep Republicans out of power. We need your help!
The stakes are higher than a simple Senate majority. This election will determine the path our nation takes. Are we the type of nation that protects the least among us? Or are we the type of nation that allows the young, old, sick and needy to fend for themselves while oil corporations and billionaires reap all the rewards?
This is the time to stand up for what we - as Democrats - believe in. Thank you for joining the fight.
Sincerely,
Sen. Patty Murray
