John — I know you’ve been receiving a lot of emails from our team lately, and you deserve an explanation as to why that is.

Wisconsin’s Senate race has quickly become the most competitive race in the nation.

Multiple election experts have downgraded our race to a “Toss Up” and Eric Hovde just opened up a one-point lead for the very first time in a recent poll.

We always knew this was the race that could decide control of the Senate. And Republicans know it too, which is why they’re putting all their chips into Wisconsin.

Mitch McConnell’s super PAC launched a last-minute $24 million ad blitz to help my opponent flip this seat red. Eric Hovde himself has even loaned his campaign $20 million from his own personal fortune to defeat me — the largest personal investment of any GOP Senate candidate in the nation.

Unlike my opponent, I’ve counted on support from everyday folks to power our work in every election I’ve run in. I’ve been supported by the hard-earned dollars of people across the state who wanted to make a difference.

I don’t have the luxury of cutting myself a seven-figure check like my opponent can, but that’s okay — because I have people like you, John, who I can count on to chip in what they can, when they can.

These emails can be pesky sometimes — believe me, I know. But I wouldn’t be sending you this message if I didn’t think your donation could make a difference in our campaign to defend Wisconsin’s battleground Senate seat.

So as Republicans outspend us on the airwaves in these crucial final weeks, I’m humbly asking: Can you split a donation between Blue Amp Action and my campaign today to help me defend this seat and our Democratic Senate majority along with it? I can’t win this toss-up race alone.

I can’t thank you enough for all that you do for our campaign.

— Tammy

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
