Hal, here's the thing:

Hal -- Here's the one big reason why so many of the races you're hearing about are so close: Outside groups and special interests are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat Democrats. That is not an exaggeration; that's just a fact. Now, we've seen this movie before, Hal. We've won in the face of massive spending before, and we can do it again. But here's the thing: Because Barack's name won't be on the ballot in November, folks like the Koch brothers are betting we won't get it done. Pitch in $3 or more before the deadline tomorrow night to prove them wrong: https://my.democrats.org/June-Deadline With everything we're going to be up against over the next few months, your support now is more important than ever. So Hal, thanks. Joe P.S. -- If you make a donation of any amount today, you'll be automatically entered to fly out to meet Barack at an event in Austin next month. Your hotel and airfare are covered, so this is a really great opportunity to help Democrats and have a fun trip.
