Dear Lucas, 
We've all seen it. The Tea Party is having a huge effect on races throughout the country, and my opponent is doing everything in his power to convince them to float his campaign. In their relentless drive to take control of the Senate, they'll stop at nothing to win -- including spending enormous amounts of money on attack ads.
Because of your support, our campaign is running at full force. We're on the air with ads statewide. We've got thousands of volunteers working the phones and knocking on doors. But we need you to keep it all going until November 2.
Click here to make your contribution of $5 or more today and help me reach my goal of raising $50,000 by midnight October 15. We need to run full speed ahead for the next 19 days until Election Day.
No national Republican Party, Tea Party, or third-party group will scare us. They're throwing everything they have at our campaign because they saw how much progress we made in just a few short years. With you by my side, I'll keep fighting for the issues most important to New York.
So please, stand with me today, as you always have, and make a contribution to my campaign so we can reach our goal of raising $50,000 by the midnight October 15 deadline. It's the only way we can fully fund our campaign and keep the pressure up until Election Day.
Click here to rush your donation of $5 or more to my campaign and help me raise $50,000 by midnight October 15. Your support is essential to keep my campaign going until November 2.
Yes, it's been a long road to where we are today. But I'm confident that if we all stay strong and don't let down our guard, we'll win this fight.
Sincerely,
Kirsten Gillibrand
