I'm disappointed.

As Democrats I thought we all knew this election was too important to attack other Democrats.

But Bernie Sanders and his campaign don't care about that. They've decided to unleash a barrage of negative attacks lying about and distorting my record. They're even pushing around a deceptively edited video and saying I agreed with Paul Ryan about wanting to cut Social Security.

Let me be clear, this is 100% false. Take a look at Politifact -- they said it wasn't true. Or better -- go look at the Vice Presidential debate I had with Paul Ryan where I told him President Obama and I would never let him privatize Social Security, to his face.

But with just 15 days until the Iowa Caucuses, these types of smears could be devastating to our chances.

So please, I'm asking you for your help. Can you chip in to my campaign today so we can fight back against these lies and set the record straight?

I have fought for the Democratic Party my whole career. I know what we stand for, who we stand with and what we believe. And it's not just policies or issues. It's in my bones. That's not something everyone in this primary can say.

If my opponents want to have a debate on what they've actually done to truly implement progressive, meaningful change in our country -- not just talk, but real accomplishments -- I welcome it.

These kinds of negative attacks don't help anyone but Donald Trump.

So let's send a message to Bernie and his campaign: Stop it. Let's keep our eye on the ball. Above all else, we must defeat Donald Trump.

If you're with me, if you want to defeat Donald Trump, will you chip in $5 now to keep our campaign going strong?

Thanks. Let's keep the faith,
