John,

I’ve long wished we lived in a time when laws were not necessary to safeguard us from inequality. But laws – and the elected officials who write them – are what determine access to the voting booth, whether someone can have a safe abortion, or how much you pay for prescription drugs.

I’m committed to electing lawmakers who believe that everyone deserves a fair shot at getting ahead and staying ahead, and I have to tell you that I’m concerned by what I’m seeing in New Hampshire and Republicans’ ruthless efforts to oust Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan.

Maggie won her last election by just 1,017 votes, and Mitch McConnell and his allies are spending over $60 million to defeat her. Before I go on, can you please chip in to her reelection campaign? She won her last race because of people like you.

Let me make this clear. If Maggie Hassan hadn’t won her last election, the Affordable Care Act would’ve been repealed and Republicans would currently hold the Senate majority.

There are a lot of Republicans – all in lockstep with Mitch McConnell – who will do anything to defeat her tomorrow on Election Day. They know that if they defeat Maggie, they regain control of the Senate chamber.

No one has ever regretted getting off the sidelines, John. And now, with the most extreme Republican Party of my lifetime teetering on the edge of regaining power, we need all hands on deck. Please rush $3 or as much as you can right now to win in New Hampshire and protect the Senate majority tomorrow.

Thank you,
