Friends, 

I've spent more than 40 years telling America's stories through film, so I can say this honestly: Since the Second World War, our nation's democracy has never faced a greater threat than the current political leaders in Washington.

That's why this historic election is so important. November isn't just about voting Donald Trump out. It's about coming together to protect our shared American values and restoring integrity to our government. That's why taking back the Senate is so important – and why we have to help Jeanne Shaheen defend New Hampshire's Senate seat.

Democrats cannot take back the Senate if we lose in New Hampshire. Jeanne needs to raise $30,000 before midnight to stay on track, and with just a few hours left before her deadline, she's falling short. That's why I'm reaching out for your support today: Will you pitch in whatever you're able to spare right now to help protect New Hampshire's Senate seat and take back the Senate for Democrats?

From fighting back against the Trump administration's corrosive agenda to standing up for working families, Jeanne is an effective champion for New Hampshire and our nation. As a Granite Stater myself, I firmly believe that Jeanne's exceptional judgment is critical to protecting our shared American future.

Trump knows that Jeanne is one of the most vulnerable Democratic senators in the country. That's why he's made New Hampshire one of his top targets – and he's enlisted help from Mike Pence and Corey Lewandowski to help flip the state red.

New Hampshire needs Jeanne, friends – and so do the American people. So please, I'm asking you one more time for your support as we make our final sprint to flip the Senate and defend our democracy:

Click here to pitch in whatever you can to help Jeanne Shaheen protect New Hampshire's Senate seat and take back the Senate for Democrats.

Thank you,
Ken Burns
