We just received some breaking news from the San Francisco Chronicle on California’s Senate race, John:

A super PAC just launched a $1 MILLION advertising blitz across California — and the ads are running on TV, digital, and “everything in between” starting today.

I don’t take a dime of corporate PAC money, and I’ve been worried about dark money super PACs buying advertising time to tilt the playing field. Now, that’s begun.

With super PAC ad dollars flooding the airwaves, we can’t afford to remain silent. I’ve personally set an emergency goal of generating 10,000 grassroots contributions of any amount by midnight tonight to help us respond — and prove that real grassroots momentum beats dark money super PAC dollars every day of the week. Can you rush in a contribution of $3 before midnight to help?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

With fewer than 100 days until early voting starts, and this million-dollar ad buy already underway, with even more potentially on the way, our response on the airwaves has to start even sooner.

Super PACs can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money — and considering they’re already trying to tilt the playing field, all signs point to this Senate race becoming the most expensive in California history.

If we’re going to generate the 10,000 grassroots contributions we need before midnight to respond to this super PAC advertising blitz, I’m going to need you to chip in $3 right now, John. Please add your contribution in support.

This may be the first big-money advertising campaign in California’s U.S. Senate race this election, but it may not be the last and we need to get ready!

Thanks for contributing whatever you can to help.
