Friend, I just got off the stage after speaking at the Democratic National Convention, and I have to tell you: The energy that Democrats have right now – the energy that was in this completely packed building tonight – is unlike anything I’ve ever felt before.

Everywhere I look, I'm seeing people who are hopeful and excited about this election – and it's not just what I felt tonight. I've been feeling it in Dallas and San Antonio and all across Texas, too.

That's how I know we're going to win this race. I've been saying since day one of this campaign that we're going to defeat Ted Cruz and protect our Senate majority – now, I need people like you behind me to get us across the finish line.

If you’re ready to kick Ted Cruz out of the Senate and protect our Democratic Senate majority, will you rush a donation of $5 or more – whatever you can spare tonight – to help my campaign keep building on this momentum so we can win on Nov. 5?

I’m honored to be the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate from Texas. I’m a fourth-generation Texan, and everything I’ve done in my life – from making it to the NFL, to law school, and finally to Congress – is thanks to opportunities that Texas has given me. In my Texas, we believe that WE is more powerful than ME.

But Ted Cruz doesn’t believe in the Texas that I know and love. He doesn’t believe you should help your neighbors when things get tough. He doesn’t believe that our seniors deserve the Social Security and Medicare they have earned. He doesn’t believe that women should be able to make their own health care decisions.

All Ted Cruz cares about is himself – and Texas deserves much better than a me-guy who runs to Cancún when we’re in crisis.

Right now, we’re building the largest grassroots team Texas has ever seen to defeat Ted Cruz and flip Texas blue. But he’s got an army of right-wing donors and far-right super PACs behind him, and I can’t win this race without your support.

So please, if you're ready to defeat Ted Cruz, bring real leadership to Texas, and defend our narrow Senate majority, will you rush a donation of $5 or whatever you can afford right now?

Let's win this.

– Colin
