We got outspent. You'll never guess what happened next:

Hal -- What happened last night in Florida was really scary. Republican super PACs and outside groups rode to the rescue of a straight-up corporate lobbyist -- spending $5 million to tear down his Democratic opponent. Five million dollars in outside spending -- from groups funded by anonymous donors in many cases -- in just one congressional district. Now multiply that by the number of races we need to win to take back the House, then add tens of millions of dollars in states like Kentucky, Georgia, or Texas, where we have a chance to pick up Senate seats and governor's mansions. If that doesn't scare you, it should. But the good news is that you can do something about it right now. Chip in $3 or more to make sure Democrats have the resources to fight back against right-wing special interests. In a district that Republicans have held for almost six decades, we nearly pulled off an incredible upset thanks to grassroots support from Democrats like you -- but we fell short for one reason: We got outspent in a Republican district. And call me old fashioned, but I think people, and not special interests, should decide elections. And the math on these midterm elections is pretty simple: The more people vote, the more races Democrats will win. But if we can't break through all the noise from the special interest attack ads, taking back the House is off the table -- and everything we want to do in President Obama's last two years in office is in jeopardy. Make sure we have what we need to elect Democrats in November. Pitch in $3 or more now: https://my.democrats.org/Win-in-November Thanks, Amy Amy K.
