Lucas --
In just days, we face a major test of our Democratic momentum for 2012.
All eyes are on June 30th. Republicans and Democrats will have to report their fundraising totals and the pundits will use them to gauge our chances of success in 2012. It is the first fundraising deadline since the Republicans cast their disgraceful vote to end Medicare, since Congresswoman Kathy Hochul's upset victory in NY-26, and since the 2012 Presidential race officially kicked off.
You hold the key to putting Leader Pelosi and Democrats back in control of Congress and ensuring President Obama's re-election next year. The stakes are too high to let the Koch Brothers and the right-wing secret money machine continue their radical right-wing agenda.
Right now, they have set their sights on winning the special election in California's 36th District and defeating President Obama next year. Let's show them what we are made of on June 30th.
With the world watching, contribute $3 or more to help us surpass our $1 Million grassroots goal for the June 30th FEC deadline. This deadline is so crucial that a group of House Democrats will triple match your gift.
What's more, in the California special election, a right-wing shadow group just launched one of the most vile and demeaning ads imaginable that attacks Democratic candidate Janice Hahn. We cannot let despicable attacks like these go unanswered.
Our victory depends on having a strong showing for the critical June 30th FEC deadline.
But with just days left, time is running short. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Barbara Boxer
U.S. Senator
