Republican Supporters Have Fourteen Million Dollars To Knock Harry Reid Out Of His Senate Seat! Where Did They Get That Kind Of Money?
Hi Joseph,
I know this is the season when your inbox is bombarded with appeals for help -- but i can think of 14 million reasons why this one is so key. 14 million dollars is how much the right wing contributed the last couple months to try and knock off our senate majority leader, harry reid. they've made him target #1 in their effort to stop president obama and roll back the progress we've made - and make no mistake, without Harry Reid taking the flack and pressing on with guts and grit, we would not have won any of the big fights of the last two years. we need him here. The rightwing is trying to buy this seat for a truly dangerous and radical candidate, so even if you don't scroll through another email today, please do look at this one - and do whatever you can to help Harry ...
thanks, JK

Dear John,
A major development here in Nevada: My Tea Party opponent just announced that she received $14 million in donations in the last quarter. That could be enough to dominate Nevada airwaves in the critical final days and prevent us from exposing the truth.
I need you to send a contribution as soon as you can. I know there are many demands on your time and your resources, but we have no choice but to fight back against my extremist opponent and her far-right allies.
Nevada is just the front line in the Tea Party's assault on middle class families. My opponent would phase out Social Security and Medicare, end the VA as we know it, and eliminate the Department of Education. We cannot afford to lose our country like that!
Shadowy outside groups have bought tens of millions of dollars worth of television airtime. We are bracing for an unprecedented wave of attacks. And although we believe we are ahead in this race, our lead is fragile and we must have the resources to fight back against the smear attacks that may come our way in the final days.
If you have even five dollars to devote to the cause of stopping my opponent and her Tea Party allies from bringing their anti-jobs, anti-health care, anti-immigrant, anti-middle class agenda to the United States Senate, I need you to make that contribution right now.
This race is extremely close, but I know with your support we're going to win on Election Day.
Harry Reid
P.S. -- Time is of the essence. Even if you can only afford to give a few dollars, please do so right away so I can fight back.

Joseph --
The tide is turning. Our candidates are fighting back hard. And all those shady right-wing outside groups who thought they could just buy a Republican Congress to do the bidding of special interests are encountering strong resistance from our candidates, the DCCC and grassroots supporters like you. All of this is thanks to the support you are providing.
On behalf of the DCCC, I cannot thank you enough for shattering our Two Weeks Out Deadline to ensure that Democrats enter these final days with strength and momentum.
But with so many too-close-to-call races about to reach their tipping points, we need to raise $250,000 more by tomorrow at 5PM so we can double our efforts.
Contribute $5, $10 or more by tomorrow's 5PM deadline to wire money to all of our too-close-to-call races so we can double our efforts in the final, critical days ahead.
Your support is literally making the difference. Thanks to you:
We exposed one of the Republicans' most extreme tea party candidates' ties to a motorcycle gang with a long history of criminal activities.
We just placed a massive new ad buy to fight back against the outside groups.
Our voter-contact team knocked on 312,000 doors and made 306,000 phone calls last weekend alone.
Most of all, the polls show eight more Battleground Democrats with expanding leads over their Republican opponents.
We have run ads in over 60 districts. We have field directors and organizers in over 75 districts. But now we need to double it for the final days.
Contribute $5, $10 or more by tomorrow's 5PM deadline to wire money to all of our too-close-to-call races so we can double our efforts in the final, critical days ahead.
Tomorrow marks just 11 more days until Election Day. Your support in these final 11 days will make the difference between victory and defeat for many Democrats in too-close-to-call races.
Let's not have a single regret the day after Election Day.
Chris Van Hollen
DCCC Chairman
