This is code red, folks.

After the GOP spent outrageous amounts of money to attack my campaign, our lead has deteriorated.

In the past 24 hours, TWO new polls have shown us locked in single digits with our Republican opponent.

We cannot let the GOP gain any more ground if we want to flip this seat blue. Please, rush a donation — every penny you can spare — to help us overcome these attacks and win this race in just 14 days.

Our lead is deteriorating, folks.

First, major pundits claimed this election was locked down. So, Democratic groups pulled their TV ads in the final weeks of this race. But now, Republicans are flooding the airwaves with unchallenged attacks, and our lead is shrinking.

Moments ago, an independent poll showed us within single digits against Gardner AGAIN (with a lot of people undecided). It’s clear the GOP’s $36 million are taking a huge toll on us.

I have to be honest, if we can’t raise an emergency $50,000 by midnight, we could lose this race. Please, rush $10 or more to help us overcome the GOP’s attacks and flip Colorado blue:

Democrats cannot flip the Senate without winning here in Colorado, but our chances are getting scarier by the minute.

I gotta run into an emergency meeting about this, but thanks for all you do.
