(71,265 posts)Justin -- The 2014 election boils down to one question: Whose side do you stand on?
Do you stand with Democratic control of the Senate -- or do you want to hand the gavel over to Mitch McConnell? Do you stand with President Obamas agenda to fight for working families or do you want two more years of unbearable gridlock?
Lets do the math: Right now, nine 2014 Senate races are within single digits. NINE. And Republicans only need to win six to take control of the Senate.
So we have a choice: We can either sit back and let the millionaires and billionaires and big corporations take control, or we can stand for working people and fight back.
I cant overstate how important it is for us to raise $900,000 more for Democratic Senate candidates across the country. Our deadline is in 72 hours -- can you pitch in $3 right away? Your gift will be matched.
Karl Rove and the Koch brothers are trying to buy a Senate that is rigged in favor of the rich and powerful. They just spent another $30 million in attack ads, and they are just getting started.
If we let that happen, youd better believe that everything President Obama fights for will be brought to a screeching halt. Democrats need to hang on to the Senate so that we can fight for middle class families and so that we can work to give everyone a fighting chance to build a future.
But I also know that when we stand up and fight, we can beat the most powerful interests. We did it in Massachusetts in 2012, and we can still do it in states all across the country in 2014.
Things are too close to sit back and watch from the sidelines. Will you join me and fight back?
Please join me and pitch in $3 before the deadline in just 72 hours. Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling its imapct.
Thank you,
Elizabeth Warren
