Mitt Romney. Who likes "being able to fire people." Who said "corporations are people." Who laid off thousands and shipped jobs overseas. Who forced the family dog to ride on the car roof for a twelve-hour drive!
This is the GOP frontrunner. And soon, all of the Republicans who are attacking Romney will train their ire on a new target: President Obama. He needs our help to win this thing - and have a Senate he can work with.
We need to be ready. That's why I've just launched the Obama Firewall Fund with a goal of raising $100,000 by midnight Sunday.
Can you give $5, $10 or more? Your gift now to the Obama Firewall Fund will help us build the grassroots campaigns we need to elect people like Elizabeth Warren and Tammy Baldwin - and get President Obama's voters to the polls.
Falling short isn't an option when President Romney is a possibility. Can you imagine? He's like George W. Bush on steroids. The middle class is an entirely foreign concept to him.
And while he might look like the perfect Hollywood representation of an airbrushed GOP president, his record - and plans - are downright ugly.
He'd slash taxes on the richest 1 percent - and make the middle class pay for it. He'd end Medicare as we know it. He even backs the radical "personhood" constitutional amendment - which would give a fertilized egg more rights than the woman who's carrying it!
Raising $100,000 by midnight Sunday for the Obama Firewall Fund will go a long way toward turning out Democratic voters, defending the Senate - and defeating Mitt Romney. But I need your help to make it happen.
You ain't seen nothing yet. This election is going to get really brutal, really quickly.
Grassroots activists need to come together to make sure that each and every Democrat gets to the polls on Election Day. The presidency - and control of the Senate - is hanging in the balance.
