a message from Senatory Patty Murray,


The GOP budget is a dagger in the heart of American families.

Under it, everyone would sacrifice – except billionaires and corporations. The social safety net working families rely upon would disappear. People remember life before Medicare. Many seniors’ lives ended in abject, heartbreaking poverty.

This is the GOP plan for America’s future. This time, we Senate Democrats can stop them. But this is just the beginning of their assault on our ideals, and our firewall – and ability to stop them – is in jeopardy. That’s why we’re launching the DSCC Rapid Response Project to expose their radical agenda. I’ve set a goal to raise $169,394 by April 30, and I need everyone in the fight.

If Republicans gain four Senate seats, their vision will become reality. We can’t let that happen.

Click here to give $5 or more, and help us raise $169,394 before April 30. Our Rapid Response Project is key to keeping our Democratic Senate firewall.

We’re not just defending Senate seats – we’re going on the offense, too. In states like Massachusetts, Nevada and Indiana, changing demographics and bloody Republican primaries offer opportunities to turn red Senate seats blue.

Our Rapid Response Project will help. By countering every GOP attack and letting voters know what Republicans are really after, we can go on offense in 2012. And going on offense gives us a better chance to keep our Senate majority – and stop the Republicans’ radical agenda.

We need your help! Click here to give $5 or more toward our April 30 $169,394 goal. Every dollar you give helps fight the Republicans – and save our Democratic Senate firewall.

The Republican budget shows what kind of America Republicans want. The Democratic Senate is determined to stop them. Give today, and help make sure we can.

Sincerely,

Sen. Patty Murray

Four Senate seats are all that stand between our nation moving forward or falling back.


Four Senate seats are all that stand between our nation moving forward or falling back.

From my seat, I see President Obama and my Democratic colleagues working hard every day to do right by our families, communities and future. Across the aisle, extremist Republicans will stop at nothing to stand in our way.

The Democratic Senate is the firewall against their radical ideas. We have 23 seats to defend in 2012. Republicans have only 10. If they gain four seats, Mitch McConnell would be Majority Leader. Legislation from the House would sail through the Senate. President Obama’s agenda would end.

We can stop them. But I need your help to protect our Senate firewall. The DSCC already hit its monthly goal, but we need to keep on going. Please help us raise another $40,000 by our midnight FEC deadline. Fully 90 percent of our donations come from grassroots supporters who want to see our president succeed and know we can’t move forward by pedaling backward.

Click here to give $5 or more to the DSCC. Help us raise another $40,000 by midnight tonight to start building the campaign infrastructure needed to defend our Democratic firewall!

It seems early. It is early. But it’s never too early when the margin is this slim and the stakes are this high.

GOP-aligned outside groups are already raking in cash from corporations and billionaires thanks to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. We can fight them, but we need your help.

A net gain of only 4 seats, and they’ll be in power. And we know what that would look like. Take a look at the U.S. House!

Radical Republicans are trying to derail the president’s jobs agenda, unravel our social safety net, and launch the biggest, most outrageous attack on women’s rights and health in modern history.

Four seats are all that stand between their agenda – and our agenda. Will you stand with me and support the DSCC? Our Democratic firewall depends on the grassroots. It depends on you!

Click here to give $5 or more to the DSCC. Help us raise another $40,000 by midnight tonight to recruit strong candidates, build wining campaigns and defend our Democratic firewall!

Four seats. My Democratic colleagues and I are counting on your support to help us keep our majority and continue moving our nation forward. Thank you so much for standing with us.
