The Markey campaign continues to spread misinformation online about Joe. Why? Because you’ve helped us build a strong grassroots movement to elect Joe to the Senate. And it makes them nervous. Candidly, we’re pretty disappointed by what Ed Markey and his team are doing – they know Joe and they know his integrity, character, and commitment to public service. This is a cheap shot.

Here are the facts: 98% of the donations we get from emails like this are grassroots donations. Most of them are folks like Mary from Fall River, MA, or Jim from Northfield, MA, who are chipping in $3 or $10 or $33 every once in a while. Grassroots donations are what drives this campaign operation.

We need your help to respond with a message of positivity and set the record straight here in Massachusetts. We’re continuing to build our Rapid Response Fund to fight back. We know times are extremely difficult right now, but if you are financially able, will you pitch in a grassroots donation of $3 or $25 to help us fight back with a positive message?

We know this country needs stronger leadership in the Senate. So we won’t back down. Let’s keep fighting.
