Friend,

We've done the unthinkable – we've forced Republicans into a runoff election in battleground Georgia, which experts now say will decide Senate control.

This is a huge deal, and it gets even better: After recent polls showed our campaign taking the lead, Nate Silver – one of the most trusted analysts in politics – was SHOCKED, upgraded this race to a "Toss-Up" and now says Raphael has the best chance to win!

But here's the bad news: Republicans like Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Rick Scott and Mitch McConnell are pulling out all the stops to defeat us – and the GOP plans to dump at least $100 MILLION into Georgia to buy this seat.

They know that if we lose in Georgia, Democrats will be throwing away our last chance to take back the Senate. That's why, with just over four weeks left until the runoff, it's never been more important to keep our fundraising on track.

But unlike our opponent, we don't have a massive multi-million dollar war chest – and we refuse to take a single dime from corporate PACs. We're counting on the support of grassroots folks like you to win this race.

Please, friend: Will you donate $5 or more – as much as you can by midnight tonight – to help us defeat the GOP, flip Georgia blue and take back the Senate for Democrats?
