Their new email blast this morning:

Subject: Roy Blunt's deferments vs. Jason Kander's service

Jason Kander could have gone anywhere after law school.

He chose Afghanistan.

Shortly after he returned, he was elected to the Missouri state legislature and then as Secretary of State, where he's rooted out corruption just like he did as his job when he served overseas.

Now he's running against Republican Senator Roy Blunt, who lied to his constituents about Vietnam draft deferments and then voted against increasing benefits for veterans who actually served. It's time for Senator Blunt to go.

Watch our latest ad and contribute $3 to VoteVets so we can elect progressive veteran Jason Kander to the Senate and defeat a man who voted for the war in Iraq and against increasing the benefits for those who served there.

Of course, we are going to continue doing everything we can do to stop Donald Trump. But we also have to protect against ultra-conservative attempts to privatize veterans' health care in the Senate.

This is a big ad buy for such a close race, and the message is powerful. It's going to make a difference. Make your $3 contribution to VoteVets, and as you watch the results come in on election night, know that your donation could be the difference.

This race could be the most important race of all the 2016 Senate campaigns.

All our best,

- The team at VoteVets
