Hi John,

Looks like Susan Collins’ old pal Mitch McConnell will do everything he can to funnel millions of dollars of special interest money into her campaign. He had a couple former aides -- now lobbyists, of course -- throw a fundraiser for Collins just the other day. Mitch is even hosting one himself later next month. And a pro-Collins PAC has already received $500,000 from New York Billionaire Stephen Schwarzman. All told, 96% of her campaign cash this cycle has come from out-of-state and special interests.

So how do we answer that kind of fundraising? We start by meeting our goal to raise $50,000 in grassroots donations by the end of the quarter! Will you help us out by donating $20.20 or as much as you can right now?

This is how we win: person by person, contribution by contribution, voter by voter. We are already knocking on doors, making phone calls, and talking to real honest-to-goodness Mainers about why Susan Collins is wrong for Maine.

If you want to help us meet our $50,000 grassroots fundraising goal, make a gift of $20.20 right now.

When we work together, we can show McConnell and Collins that no special interest group is as powerful as the people of Maine.
