The situation: Last week, an independent poll showed this race in single digits against our Republican opponent after right-wing groups spent $9 million attacking John Hickenlooper.

Why this matters: Republicans believe they have momentum in Colorado. And now that Cory Gardner has booked $8.5 million in ad buys, more misleading attacks are likely coming our way real soon.

Our job: Generate as many contributions as possible to ensure our campaign has the resources to fight back against Republican attacks. If we lose this race, Democrats have virtually no chance of flipping the Senate this year.

Can John count on you to make a contribution of $10 or more today? This is one of the most important moments for our campaign and we have to be ready for whatever the GOP has planned for us:
