will you help me get my final ad on the air?

Ohioans are already voting, and Election Day is next week – so the sooner we can launch this final ad, the more voters we'll be able to reach before they submit their ballots. We're getting drowned out on the airwaves – Republicans have outspent us 3-to-1, so this final ad will punch back at their…
