Dear R.Hunter,
 
Imagine this nightmare scenario: Senators who want to end Medicare writing health policy. Lawmakers who think global warming is a hoax chairing the environment committee. President Obama's Supreme Court nominees wouldn't stand a chance.
 
Four seats. That's all it would take to lose our Senate majority. I know: I count the votes. 
 
But this is one nightmare we can prevent. You can change the outcome, but you must give to the DSCC right now. Sen. Murray tells me we need to raise $119,806 online by May 31 to stay on track. Hitting this number is so crucial that Democratic senators will match every grassroots dollar you give, doubling your impact. Join the fight!

I know it seems early. But Republicans – and the Koch brothers, and Karl Rove – certainly aren't waiting, and neither can we. We don't want to sit bolt upright in bed some night in November 2012 and have our hearts sink with the realization that if we'd only started a little earlier, worked a little harder, and done a little more, we'd still be holding the Senate.
 
How hard we work in these Senate races will affect President Obama's re-election, too. Some of our key Senate races are big swing states – Ohio, Nevada, Florida. A strong showing will help President Obama. A weak showing – and a loss of four or more seats – means he could win the battle, but not the war. President Obama can't bring progress on his own. He needs the Senate. And I need you.
 
More than 90% of the DSCC's donations come from grassroots supporters. What you do right this minute will make all the difference.

Four seats. It's such a small number, but such a big deal. Four seats is all that stands between moving our nation forward, or slipping backward. We simply can't afford to sit this one out.
 
Sincerely,
 
Sen. Dick Durbin
