Tommy Thompson has hit rock bottom. On Monday, his campaign released a new ad that dishonestly attacks Tammy for voting against a cynical, politically-motivated resolution.
Make no mistake: Tommy is using 9/11 to score political points. But that’s not the worst part.
Tommy has also used 9/11 to score personal profits. He got a government contract to provide health care to first responders after the attacks. He put $3 million into his own pocket. But the first responders didn’t get the care they were promised.
Click here to watch our new ad exposing Tommy’s shameful record.
Tommy knows that Tammy has supported nine different 9/11 memorial resolutions — and he knows that the one she voted against was intentionally politicized by Republicans looking to make 9/11 an election-year wedge issue.
But Tommy also knows he’s losing this race. And he’s desperate.
I want you to know two things.
First, we’re not going to let him get away with this. We’ve released a new ad exposing Tommy’s disgraceful behavior — click here to watch it. And the media is onto Tommy — click here to watch Ed Schultz take apart his false claims.
Second, the reason Tommy is so desperate is because he knows that our campaign is stronger — and that’s thanks to you. You’ve stood by Tammy through $16 million in special interest attacks, and I thank you for standing by her again in the face of this latest vile smear from Tommy Thompson himself.
We’re going to win this race.

Imagine a cold January morning in 2013. Your robot butler gently awakens you with a mug of steaming hot moon coffee, and you slip on your virtual reality glasses to scan the news before hopping in your hovercar to work. And as you telekinetically switch over to C-SPAN, you see — in ultra-high definition — a whole new wave of progressive fighters leading the charge in the U.S. Senate.
Okay, so I may be a little ambitious about the new technology that might come out between now and next January. But the “new wave of progressive fighters” thing? That’s totally doable. 
Elizabeth Warren. Tammy Baldwin. Martin Heinrich. Chris Murphy. Mazie Hirono. All these great leaders and more could join Sherrod Brown, Sheldon Whitehouse, and me in the Senate next year.
And your support of Midwest Values PAC can help make it happen! Click here to make one last contribution this year so we can do even more for even more great progressives around the country.
Already this year, grassroots support of MVP has made it possible for us to stand with more than a dozen great candidates for the U.S. Senate — as well as outstanding House candidates like Tammy Duckworth and Christie Vilsack.
And, just to be clear, by “stand with,” I mean “give money to.” Money that’s already helping these candidates get their message out and build the kind of people-powered grassroots organizations that win elections.
But the more progressives we can stand with (give money to), the bigger an impact we can have when the next Congress starts in January. And we don’t have much time. The contribution you make to MVP right now could be in the hands of a deserving progressive candidate within days, and deployed as part of their final push not long after that.
So act fast. In fact, act now. And, as always, by “act,” I mean give money. Click here to help Midwest Values PAC help great progressives in the final days of the campaign.
I’m so excited about all the incredible things we could do with all those great progressives standing together in the Senate. And I hope you’re ready to stand with Midwest Values PAC to make it happen.
Thanks,
Al
