Dear Lucas,
My Democratic colleagues and I worked with President Obama to avert a second Great Depression, reform our broken health care system, end Don't Ask, Don't Tell and protect consumers from financial predators.
Since regaining power, House Republicans have tried to put insurance companies back in charge of your health care, balance our budget on the backs of families, send Big Bird a pink slip and let polluters and oil companies have their way. Every day, it's a new jaw-dropping low.
Their agenda is wrong, and we won't stand for it. But our Senate firewall is threatened. We're defending 23 seats in 2012. Republicans have 10. If they gain four, their slash-and-burn approach will know no limits.
I'm doing everything I can to fight them, but I need your help. The DSCC must raise $130,241 in grassroots contributions by our March 31 FEC deadline to defend our majority. Our March Match means you can make a $10 donation today that only costs you $5.

What you do right now matters. More than 90% of DSCC donations come from people who give $200 or less. That's real grassroots power, and it's never been more important. GOP-aligned third-party groups are busy ginning up their base. And the Citizens United decision means corporations can spend without limits in support of their favorite candidates.
I accepted the job as DSCC chairwoman because I know how high the stakes are and I want to do everything I can to defend our majority. I'm counting on you to do the same. Thanks to our March Match, you can give $10 and it will only cost you $5. Let's show the pundits that we've only begun to fight.

Our nation has two choices. We can keep moving forward with President Obama and the Democratic Senate, or we can allow extremist Republicans to scrap all the progress we've made together. You and I both know what the only option is. Thanks for staying in the fight.
Sincerely,
Patty Murray
