I need you to read this, friend. Our end-of-quarter deadline is just over 24 hours away, and as one of the most vulnerable senators in the entire country, I can't stress enough how important your grassroots support is in this critical moment. 

Here are just three key reasons I urgently need your help today:

1. With Senate control on the line, experts at NBC News predict this race could be "one of the nastiest and most expensive in the country."

2. My self-funding opponent has already spent $4.5 million of his own money to try to buy this this seat, on top of the record-breaking ad reservations McConnell's super PACs have made to defeat me.

3. Now, the latest polls show me and my opponent statistically tied.

Unlike my opponent, I can't write my campaign million-dollar checks – instead, I'm relying on grassroots supporters like you to hit my $750,000 goal before midnight tomorrow so I can keep fighting for the Dignity of Work in the Senate. Please, will you rush $5 or more now to help me compete with massive GOP spending, win in Ohio, and keep the Senate blue?

Thanks for your support, friend.
