Email from Chuck Schumer THANKING US for helping them win.

We did it. But really, you did it.

Without the amazing support that people like you have given to the DSCC, there is no way I would be able to utter the following extraordinary words:

Democrats will soon take control of the United States Senate.

Victory in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Missouri and Montana is already ours. We're waiting for final official results, but at this hour, Jim Webb is poised to be the next Senator from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

It all adds up to a six seat swing that will now place the Senate and House of Representatives in Democratic hands for the first time in 12 years. For the first time in over 80 years, no Democratic incumbent lost an election in the House or the Senate. It's a truly a historic victory, and a golden opportunity to chart a new course for America.

This election was the ultimate triumph of our democracy. A Congress that had become unaccountable to its people was defeated. But it didn't happen on its own. You were the catalysts that made this all possible. Every single time the DSCC asked for your help, loyal Democrats like you came through.

The challenges we face at home and abroad in the coming months are daunting. But this much I can assure you: the men and women you just helped send to the United States Senate are true leaders and they've got what it takes to put America back on track.

Every single one of you owns a part of this amazing victory. Thank you so much.

Sincerely,



Sen. Chuck Schumer
