YOU VOTED FOR CHANGE - DON'T LET THE PRESIDENT'S AGENDA BE DESTROYED

Don't believe what you've heard about a GOP in disarray. They're mad, they're organized, and they're determined to return to what they see as their rightful place: ruling the halls of Congress.

How do I know? $14.4 million.

That's how much Newt Gingrich raised during a fundraising dinner last week for Republican House and Senate committees. One speech. $14.4 million.

They not only have cash, but also history on their side. There are only a handful of times in our nation's past when the party that won the White House hasn't lost big the following midterm election. That would spell disaster for President Obama's agenda.

That's why the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee needs your help. Our June 30 fundraising deadline is fast approaching. We have a big goal, and just 15 days left and $297,451 to make it. If you give now, a team of Democratic senators will automatically match your gift two-to-one, effectively tripling your donation. In addition, if you contribute $5 or more, you will receive a free "Change Starts With Me" car magnet.

Click here to make a contribution of $5 or more today.

It's crucial that we meet our fundraising goal. Why? First: The early money and momentum we built was instrumental in defending each of our Democratic senators and turning 14 seats in the past four years from red to blue. Not meeting each and every fundraising goal could mean losing our advantage - and with Barack Obama in the White House, our best chance in years to move America forward. It's that simple.

Second: The Republicans are more organized than they've been in the past. Their fundraising machine, fed by fear tactics and smear campaigns from Newt, Rush Limbaugh and friends, is humming along. We can't let them get ahead of us.

Third: In his speech last week, Newt said President Obama has already failed. We know that's ridiculous - but the best way to prove it is to defend our Senate majority. We don't have enough votes to keep Republicans from blocking President Obama's agenda and Supreme Court nominees. The loss of even one seat will make it that much harder to stop their stonewalling and stalling.

Do your part to defend progress. The match provided by Democratic senators means that your contribution before June 30 of $5 will be tripled to $15, and $20 will become $60. And as a token of our appreciation for gifts of $5 or more, you'll receive a "Change Starts With Me" car magnet. There are only 15 days left to meet our goal, so please give today. The Republicans aren't waiting, and neither can we.

You and I both know that the GOP talking heads are going to be scrutinizing our fundraising totals. If we fall short of our goal, they'll say the American honeymoon with President Obama is over. They'll say America's ready for a change: back to Republican rule.

We can't let that happen. Our country can't afford to let that happen. It's time to prove that we meant the strong message we sent in November.

Sincerely,

J.B. Poersch


P.S.: Remember: It's crucial that we meet our June 30 fundraising goal. The match will make your contribution go farther, and the car magnet is a visible sign of your support of the President's agenda. Please give today!
