Dear Lucas, 
Four seats. That's all the GOP needs to control the Senate.
We know too well from the House GOP's shenanigans what that would mean. Repeal
of the Affordable Care Act. Bigger tax cuts for millionaires funded by devastating cuts to Medicare and education. Endless attacks on women's health.
Senate Democrats are the last line of defense.
Tammy Baldwin, Heidi Heitkamp, Shelley Berkley, and Mazie
Hirono are locked in some of the country's tightest Senate races - and we'll need to win every single one to hold our majority. The polls are virtually tied.
With so much on the line, we must help them meet their critical August
fundraising goals. We can't let them down. Can you help by contributing
directly to their campaigns immediately?
Contribute
right now to help Tammy, Heidi, Shelley, and Mazie - your donation will go
directly to these candidates' campaigns.
- Republicans just nominated former President Bush HHS Secretary and Ryan
budget-backer Tommy Thompson to oppose Tammy Baldwin, who would make
history as the first openly gay U.S. Senator. Extremist groups like the Koch
brothers' Super PAC have already spent $2.5 million attacking Tammy - and are
poised to dump millions more.
- In North Dakota, Heidi Heitkamp has surged ahead of Rep. Rick Berg in
some polls. But Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and other right-wing groups have
already spent $2.3 million on scurrilous attack ads, including one spot so
egregious it had to be pulled from the air.
- Polling shows Shelley Berkley just three points behind Nevada Sen.
Dean Heller, who famously said he was "proud" to have voted twice to end
Medicare as we know it. This is one of Democrats' top take-back opportunities -
but right-wing Super PACs have already spent $2.6 million attacking Shelley and
show no signs of slowing.
- And Hawaii's Mazie Hirono has a shot at becoming the first Asian
American woman to serve in the Senate. She currently leads former Gov. Linda
Lingle, but the Republican and her right-wing allies are outspending Mazie
nearly three-to-one.
Let me be blunt: we cannot let Republicans take control of the Senate to gut
Medicare and Social Security and turn back the clock on women's rights. We must
do everything we can to elect these four strong, progressive candidates and
hold our Democratic firewall against the GOP's extreme agenda.

hanging in the balance, we don't have a moment to waste.
