Lucas,
It’s time to highlight another round of amazing MVPs. Today we’re
focusing on our Senate Switchers. All four of these races are among the
most competitive in the country.
And with all four MVPs facing an FEC deadline at the end of the month,
there’s no time to waste. Let’s dive right in.
ILLINOIS: Tammy Duckworth
You’ve probably heard about Tammy. She’s a war hero who lost
both legs when her Blackhawk helicopter was shot down in Iraq.
Yet the National Republican Senatorial Committee recently attacked her
on social media for “not standing up for our veterans.”
Yeah, I had to read that sentence a couple times to believe it, too.
If that doesn’t prove Republicans are willing to go to desperate
lengths to defeat Tammy, I don’t know what would.
If you’re feeling inspired to help out Tammy’s team before
the deadline, just click here and make a contribution.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be divided evenly between Tammy Duckworth, Russ Feingold, Patrick Murphy, Ted Strickland, and Midwest Values PAC.
OHIO: Ted Strickland
Ted’s already proven he’s an incredibly effective leader for
Ohio families in the House of Representatives and in the Governor’s
office. After all that, there’s no doubt he’d do fantastic
in the Senate.
Special interests know that too, of course. And they don’t find
it quite as endearing as we do. That’s why they’ve
already spent millions of dollars against Ted -- and there’ll be millions more where that came from.
Ted’s team needs our help fighting back, $5 or $10 at a time. Make
a contribution to help them out.
FLORIDA: Patrick Murphy
Down in the Sunshine State, Patrick Murphy -- one of the nicest people
you’ll ever meet -- is in the midst of a tough primary. And without
help from us the general won’t look any sunnier. In fact, it’s
been reported Patrick’s race could wind up being one of the most
expensive Senate races in history.
Patrick’s relying on a big grassroots effort to win this thing.
His opponent is relying on the special interests. Which side do you want to win?
The answer is
our side, of course. Give $5, $10 or more to help Team Murphy reach their
goal this month.
WISCONSIN: Russ Feingold
This guy is the special interests’ worst nightmare. He literally
has his name on the last major piece of campaign finance legislation to
make it through Congress. I have a feeling if Russ makes it to the Senate,
he’s going to make reversing
Citizens United a huge priority.
I’m fairly certain the special interests think so, too -- which
is why they’ll stop at nothing to make sure Russ doesn’t make
it to the Senate.
Russ needs our support. So if you can, make a contribution to his campaign
before the big deadline.
Thanks for helping out our Senate Switchers today!
