from Rob Zerban's (ryan's challenger) campaign manager:

I know we've been bombarding you with emails today and over the past few weeks. But this race is too important to hold back any firepower this close to our deadline at midnight and this close to the election.


We are only $4,327 away from our goal, donate $9 before midnight to help us finish strong.


Paul Ryan has gone too far, and he is completely out of touch with what America needs.


He proposed and supports a budget that kills Medicare but this morning on Fox News when asked to explain the specifics he responded "it would take me too long to go through all of the math."


We know now that he won't go into the specifics because he is using the cuts to Medicare to subsidize his tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans. It's not that the math is difficult, it's that the math is incriminating.


Donate $9 now before our fundraising deadline at midnight and help us put Paul Ryan out of the job come November.


The number of messages we're sending is enough to annoy anybody - I know because I get the responses. But then I get emails like this: "I'm on a fixed income, but I went without lunch today so that I could give $5." I appreciate your continued support and patience with the influx of emails, but I'm not going to apologize for working hard to get Paul Ryan out of office.


On to November,

Al

Campaign Manager
