Friends --

The future of the progressive movement is being judged in this race. That's not idle speculation. Here's what CNN just said about the stakes of our race:

"Defending Markey's seat will be a formidable test for the progressives..."

It's up to us to send a loud, undeniable message about the strength of our movement and to make clear that working people are demanding our progressive vision.

Can you make a $3 donation to our campaign today to help us organize and turn out Massachusetts voters?

Political pundits and insiders have doubted our movement from the start.

They speculated that Ed would not fight. They thought that we could never overcome Joe Kennedy's double-digit polling lead. They said a Kennedy has never lost in Massachusetts.

But that polling lead has evaporated, and now we are neck and neck. That is because of the work this movement has done day in and day out. But we can't slow down.

Our team's motto right now is all gas, no brakes. Are you in?

Make a $3 donation right now to keep up our momentum. Grassroots donations are what allow us to compete with the big money that is trying to defeat us.

Winning this race on September 1 will not be easy, but if we keep our foot on the gas, then we will pull off a major upset for the progressive movement.
