Hi — I know it’s getting late, so I promise I won’t take up too much of your time.

This week, our campaign made a risky decision to launch new ads — even though the money wasn’t originally in the September budget.

It wasn’t a decision we made lightly. But it was a necessary one.

My opponent and dark money super PACs have been relentlessly targeting me with misleading attack ads. Just turn on any TV in Wisconsin and you’ll know what I’m talking about…

Their ad blitz proves to be working too — with four recent polls showing this race tightening to within the margin of error, and RealClearPolitics even downgrading our race to a “Toss Up.”

If we can’t make up the unexpected deficit in our September budget, we could have to pull back our ad reservations or make cuts to our critical voter outreach efforts.

This is the wrong time to be scaling back, so I’m hoping you can help us close the gap:

Can I count on you to chip in $5, $10, or any amount you can afford to help my campaign respond to the flood of Republican attacks I’m facing?

Thanks for your support, today and always.
