Hello. Ken Burns here.

I've spent five decades making films that tell the stories of America’s
greatest challenges — from the Civil War to the Dust Bowl, from the Second
World War to the Vietnam War.

In each of these historic moments, we were challenged to live up to the
essential promise of our nation: preserving a democratic system of
government that respects the rights and addresses the needs of all its
citizens.

Today, challenges to our republic are rampant once again. The democratic
values that make up the very fabric of our nation are under assault and at
risk of unraveling. It’s never been more important to safeguard our
fragile democracy: as Benjamin Franklin so wisely put it, "A Republic, if
you can keep it."

But this election is not just about keeping Donald Trump out. It's about
coming together to protect our shared American values and restoring
integrity to our government. That's why electing leaders to the Senate
that we can be proud of is so important – and why we have to help Elissa
Slotkin hold Michigan's Senate seat for Democrats this fall.

There is also a personal connection in this race for me. Like Elissa, I
grew up in Michigan. And she’s a student of history, which I so appreciate
in an elected official.

I'd really like to make sure she wins her Senate race this November. So I
am asking:

[ [link removed] ]Can I count on you to contribute $5, $20 or whatever feels right to you
today directly to Lucas Kunce and Elissa Slotkin's Senate campaign in
Michigan? I would not be reaching out were it not so important.

Democrats cannot keep control of the Senate if they lose in Michigan.
