Dear Lucas,
Take a minute to imagine life without our Democratic majority.
Showering Big Oil with more subsidies, demolishing Medicare, attacking women's access to health care, more tax cuts for the rich -- that's just a sampling of what the GOP has in store for America if we don't have a majority in the Senate to stop them.
We've relied on our Senate firewall to halt the Republicans' extremist agenda, but that safeguard is in real jeopardy. In 2012, the Democrats have 23 seats to defend while the GOP has just 10. If they gain four seats, the balance of power shifts in their favor.
The DSCC has to raise $275,670 by May 31 to stay on track for 2012. And because missing this goal is not an option, a group of Democratic senators has agreed to match your gift dollar for dollar. You can give $10 for just $5 if you act now.
Click here to make your contribution to the DSCC today and help protect the Senate from a GOP takeover. Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar, so you can make a $10 donation for just $5, or a $20 donation for just $10!

Massachusetts has kept me as their Senator for 26 years. I've served with a lot of the great ones on both sides of the aisle, from Ted Kennedy to Bob Dole, but I can't remember a time when the GOP was so overly ideological in their pursuit of power and extreme agenda. But it's not just the GOP. It's the third-party and special interest groups that can hardly wait to support Republican candidates who will implement their outrageous ideas. News reports abound about how Karl Rove and the Koch brothers are committing millions to Senate races in 2012.
They're doing it because they see a chance. Just four seats is all it takes for them to win the Senate.
Look, I remember when we captured the Senate in 2006 and when we defended it in 2010. And you were no small part of those tremendous victories.
Your support helped us carry the day, and your support now will help us do it again. So please, jump in and make your contribution today. Now's the best time, because with the group of Democratic senators matching your gift, a gift of $10 will only cost you $5!
Click here to rush your contribution to the DSCC and help us raise $275,670 by May 31. Be sure to act fast so you can take advantage of the matching gift that will make your $5 donation worth $10.
The Republicans and their big money donors are going to be bombarding our Senate candidates with lies and attacks. We need your help to fight back. Please give today.
Sincerely,
John Kerry
