Team –

I want you to know just how important you are to this campaign.

When I think about my most important supporters, it’s not about how much they gave.

I think about the people who were there when I needed them most. So far, nearly 1 million people have contributed to either my first campaign or my re-election.

Now that we’re in an election year and attack ads are already running, I need you more than ever.

But here’s the thing: The NRSC just spent $1,000,000 in ONE WEEK on attack ads against me. If this is what they’re doing now, imagine what they’ll be doing in September.

And I have to be honest with you: April wasn’t our strongest fundraising month. We can’t afford to have a slow May, too. So, I want to do something special. I want to call a few of the folks who chip in TODAY. So, I’m asking:

Can you please split a $25 contribution between my re-election campaign and Debbie Stabenow? Help us reach our fundraising goals and defend this seat from the corporate special interest groups that want to beat us. And if you donate today, you might be one of the people I reach out to.

Thank you in advance for chipping in today. It means a lot.

Mark
