John, did you catch this email from Abby? Our team could really use your support. After a judge sided with national Republicans' baseless attempts to kick Abby off the ballot, we're headed to the Iowa Supreme Court to appeal the decision.
Abby can and will defeat Sen. Chuck Grassley in Iowa and expand Democratic Senate control. But right now, we urgently need grassroots support to fight these attacks. Please chip in a donation of $5, or whatever you can spare right now, to help Abby fight back and defeat Sen. Chuck Grassley.

John – yesterday, in the dead of night, a judge sided with the GOP establishment's desperate and meritless attempt to remove me from the ballot. This is nothing but a gift to Washington Republicans and a mockery of our democracy, which is why we will be fighting back and appealing this decision.
This isn't the news we were hoping for, but I want to make one thing crystal clear here and now: I promise you that no matter what the GOP throws at our campaign, I will never, ever stop fighting for Iowan families. Our campaign is filing an appeal to challenge this partisan decision in front of the Iowa Supreme Court.
I refuse to give Chuck Grassley a free pass at the ballot box – and I refuse to let national Republicans' anti-democratic attacks say who is and isn't on the ballot. So right now, I've never needed your grassroots support more. Please can you chip in $5 or whatever you can spare to help me fight these GOP attacks and defeat Sen. Grassley?

This decision is blatantly partisan and undermines the bipartisan panel that already ruled in FAVOR of our campaign's right to be on the ballot. The entire lawsuit against us is bogus – more than 5,000 Iowans said they wanted a chance to vote for our campaign!
Make no mistake: The GOP establishment is launching an all-out assault on our democracy – and it's no secret why.
You see, the GOP is absolutely terrified of our campaign. They've seen the polling numbers showing that Sen. Grassley is facing record-low approval ratings. They've seen the data that showed only 27% of likely voters want to reelect him to an eighth term. But more than anything else, they've seen the unprecedented grassroots enthusiasm on the ground for our campaign.
The GOP knows that Sen. Grassley is vulnerable and that if we win here, Democrats will be virtually guaranteed to maintain our Senate majority. We can defeat the GOP's bogus lawsuit, and we can defeat Sen. Grassley at the polls, but only if people like you stand with us.
That's why I have to ask: Can you rush $5 right here and now to help me fight these GOP attacks? Every single dollar will help us secure our place on the ballot and flip this seat blue on Election Day.

I really appreciate you standing with me during this critical moment.
