Here’s what I’m afraid of, Ellen.

When our opponent sees today’s poll numbers showing us ahead two points, he will dig deep into his campaign war chest to stop our momentum. We’ve seen it happen before -- after a University of Maryland poll put us ahead last fall, our opponent spent over one million dollars on TV ads to drown out our grassroots campaign.

With just 61 days left until Election Day in this primary, we can’t let it happen again. We must be ready to respond at a moment’s notice for whatever money or attacks are coming at us next.

There isn’t a second to wait. Contribute now towards our $50,000 goal and let’s build a progressive Senate that can take on the corporate special interests. We’ve come too far to lose this momentum, and your donation will be the difference:

Here’s what the Washington Post had to say about what’s ahead: “Rep. Chris Van Hollen has stockpiled 10 times as much money as Rep. Donna F. Edwards and is strongly positioned to continue the barrage of television advertising...”

While we cannot match him ad-for-ad, we can out-organize him on the ground if we hit every goal.

Now is the time to come together as working people and progressives to say enough is enough. Will you stand with me and make sure this election is decided by the people, and not by who can raise the most from big money donors?

Contribute now and make sure we can take on whatever money and attacks are thrown at us next. If we stand together, there is nothing that can stop us from taking our progressive message to the Senate.

Thank you for everything,

Donna
