Dear John ,
 
 I wanted to make sure you saw this email from Sen. Bernie Sanders. He's
right: Democrats simply can't let this new breed of Republican extremists
run rampant within the halls of Congress.
 
 Click here to make a donation of $100, $150 or more to the DSCC. The DSCC
needs to raise $194,686 by Sunday. Every dollar you give will be matched and
will go twice as far toward beating Republicans in November!

  Dear J.B.,
 
 Why is the longest-serving Independent in congressional history writing to
you on behalf of Democrats? Like you, I'm angry. I'm frustrated. And I want
action. I've had my differences with both sides of the aisle, but I have
never seen tactics as dangerous as the ones Republicans are using.
 
 Republicans have said "No" to the very changes Americans elected President
Obama to make. No to health care reform. Jobs. Clean energy. Regulations so
big banks can't wreck our economy and get rich in the process.
 
 They're saying "No" for one explicit reason - to make President Obama fail.
 
 That's why I'm asking you to support the DSCC. The DSCC has the skills and
experience to combat the Republican political machine and right-wing lies.
If you give today, your gift will be matched, doubling your impact. Even $5
today will make a big difference in November!
 
 Click here to make a donation of $100, $150 or more to the DSCC. The DSCC
must raise $300,000 by the end of the week to fight obstructionist
Republicans. Meeting this goal is so important that every dollar you give
will be matched, doubling its impact.

It's a plain and simple political strategy. Republicans think that if they
can make Obama fail, they will energize their base, whip up the Tea Partiers
like Rand Paul in Kentucky, prey on the fear and frustration of the American
people - and pick up seats in November. They even have a name for it, the
"Republican Comeback."
 
 That strategy, my friends, must be stopped. We cannot go back to the
Bush-Cheney policies, which caused many of the crises we currently face.
 
 Republicans are furiously raising money, and they'll have help. The largest
U.S. business lobby for insurance companies and big corporations is planning
to spend $50 million to elect "big business" candidates. And the Supreme
Court's Citizens United decision allows corporations to give as much money
as they want in support of candidates. Candidates who stand up to corporate
influence risk their voices being drowned out by the big dollars of special
interests.
 
 In many states, it will all come down to critical early funding for the
advertising, polling and extensive grassroots mobilization that it takes to
defeat the GOP machine. It's what the DSCC does best, but it can't do it
without your help.

 This is no time to quit. It's time to seize the moment, win in November and
keep our country moving forward. With your help, I know we will succeed.  
 
 Sincerely,
 
 Sen. Bernie Sanders
