Dear Lucas,
Next January, we will have a new Senate. The question is, will we have done enough to make it a Democratic one?
Republicans are not wasting any time preparing and neither should we.
In just a few short months, my Republican opponents have already raised $3.6 million to fund attack ads so they can elect a Senator beholden to the same radical obstructionism that is preventing our country from moving forward.
And that $3.6 million number doesn't include the millions of dollars of anonymous money Karl Rove's Super PAC and others will pour into the state.
We are fighting back. Our campaign has set an ambitious goal of recruiting 1,000 grassroots contributors by the end of January because we know that our strength comes from the grassroots, not deep-pocketed special interests or the well-connected.
Will you join our grassroots team with a contribution of $25, $50 or even $100 today?
Only four seats stand in the way of a Republican takeover of the U.S. Senate, and they understand their road to victory runs through Michigan. And believe me, we understand that too.
We can stop the right-wing takeover of the U.S. Senate, but we need to mobilize right now in order to do it.
Thank you for your support and friendship! On to victory in 2012!
Sincerely,
Debbie Stabenow
United States Senator
P.S . To reach our goal, we need 1,000 grassroots supporters to step forward by Jan.31st. Will you help us reach that goal today with a contribution of $25, $50, $100 or whatever you can afford?
