...And I LIKE IT! A LOT!
Dear MoveOn member, <-WHEN HELL IS A ★★★★★ RESORT!
Disclaimer: I am NOT a "MoveOn member!" What I do enjoy is watching their tone change from one of SELF-AGGRANDIZING, Egomaniacal-ARROGANCE to one of SHAKING in their Crocks with undeniable FEAR!
These numbers terrify me.
The New York Times ran polling analysis of the six most competitive Senate races in the country. Their conclusion? In 5 out of 6 cases, is that Republicans are ahead.1 Add to that races they don't consider close anymore, and the truth is terrifying: If today were Election Day, Republicans would take control of the Senate.
We have 26 days to turn the tide in a handful of critical races. Can you chip in $3 to save us from a right-wing Republican takeover of the Senate?
Yes, I'll chip in. <-WHEN HELL IS A ★★★★★ RESORT!
If you don't feel afraid, then look at the numbers.2

| Time for the KS Repubs to make this a LANDSLIDE VICTORY! We need to WIN in ALL States possible! |
Colorado, Iowa, Alaska, Louisiana and Arkansas are all Democratic incumbents in danger. If Republicans win in four of those races—plus other likely victories around the country, where the polling isn't even this close—they will take over the Senate. <-NOT DOING THE "HAPPY DANCE" YET, BUT.... YaY ~!
However, there is a pathway to victory.
In many races, Republicans are winning by just a percentage point—voter engagement and turnout can turn the tides.
In Iowa, the Republican has been consistently ahead by 1% since June—that translates into roughly 11,000 votes.
In Colorado, the Republican is ahead by 1% as well—meaning a shift of 17,000 votes can make the difference.
Now matter how you slice it, we must hold the line in Iowa and Colorado if we want to avoid a disastrous Republican takeover this fall. In these two states, the races are so close that our turnout operation could make the difference on November 5. And we have to rush emergency resources to Kentucky too, where two brand-new polls show that, after months ahead of his opponent, Mitch McConnell has fallen behind and really could lose.3
Twenty-nine days is not a lot of time in a campaign. But it is enough time for MoveOn members to complete 5 million calls to progressive voters who might otherwise stay home, but could make the difference for control of the Senate.
Can you chip in $3 to help fully fund this program to stop the Republicans from taking over another branch of our government? <-WHEN HELL IS A ★★★★★ RESORT!
Yes, I'll chip in and help fund MoveOn's program to Save the Senate.
^ ^ WHEN HELL IS A ★★★★★ RESORT!
We've seen what Republicans do when they take over a branch of the government. Look at John Boehner's House of Representatives. John Roberts' Supreme Court. And don't forget the George W. Bush White House.
We know how to win and stop a Republican takeover—by talking directly to voters who voted in 2012 and 2008 but stayed home in 2010. If they vote this year, we win. If they stay home, we lose. It's really that simple.
The numbers are frightening. But imagine how much more terrifying it will be if November 5 comes and this Republican takeover has happened.
Can you chip in $3 to stop this nightmare from becoming a reality?
Yes, I'll chip in to stop a GOP takeover. <-WHEN HELL IS A ★★★★★ RESORT!
Thanks for all you do.
