John -
Jessica sent you the note below yesterday to kick off our 48-hour emergency fundraising drive to help us compete with Henry Cuellar's dark money backers.
The Koch family's top super PAC -- Americans for Prosperity -- just announced that they're spending $34,000 against us. Now we're trying to match them dollar for dollar.
If we can pull this off, then it will send a powerful message to Henry Cuellar and all of his corporate backers: Our grassroots movement has what it takes to withstand whatever they throw our way.
We're over halfway through, and we've raised $21,740. Can you chip in to help us hit our goal?
Rush a $3 donation to our campaign today. We're counting on a surge of grassroots support to get us across the finish line.
9 days to go!

John -
Americans for Prosperity Action - the Koch family's most prominent super PAC - just announced that they're going to spend money to prop up Henry Cuellar in the final 10 days before our primary.
Americans for Prosperity is the group that the Koch brothers used to help build the Tea Party.
This Super PAC has spent $0 supporting Democrats in the past a decade, but they're breaking that precedent to back Henry Cuellar.
We're launching a 48-hour emergency fundraising drive to match AFP Action's initial $34,000 in spending. We want to make it clear that our grassroots movement has what it takes to fight back against the Koch family's last-minute spending.
Will you make a $3 donation to help us match their $34,000 in spending dollar for dollar in the next 48 hours? I would not ask if this was not critically important.
Let's be clear: They're coming in, along with three other Republican-affiliated groups, to save Henry Cuellar because they know he's not a real Democrat.
They are terrified. They know that our movement of working people has what it takes to win. Their only hope is to try to drown us out.
Henry Cuellar has betrayed his constituents here in South Texas, and we cannot sit back and let groups like AFP Action buy him this seat.
Unlike Henry Cuellar, we don't have super PACs or billionaires waiting in the wings to swoop in at the last minute to save us. We have you, so that's why I'm asking:
Please make a $3 donation right now to help us match AFP's $34,000 in spending. It will send a powerful message that their dark money is no match for our grassroots campaign.

The Koch family is desperate to keep Henry Cuellar in this seat, and there's still time for them to drop even more money into our race. With just 10 days left until our primary, it's never been more critical to have your support.
Unidos en la lucha,
