Dear R.Hunter,

From civil rights and Medicare to health care and Wall Street reform, Democrats have won important fights for the American people. And in each of these fights, there have been critical turning points – moments that we now realize were critical to our success.

In the fight to protect the Democratic Senate majority and defend America from the Republicans' radical right-wing agenda, June 30 is one of those turning points.  

Here's why: We have to defend 23 Democratic-held seats in 2012, and our majority stands at just four.  If we fall short of our goal, we won't be able to make it up later. We'll lose races we could have won and fail to challenge Republicans we could have defeated – all because we came up short at this critical moment.

But this isn't just a challenge – it's an opportunity for Democrats across the country. By stepping up to the plate now, every dollar you give will be matched by Democratic senators, and you will be a part of a firewall that will stand strong all the way to Election Day.

Don't let June 30 go down in history as a missed opportunity! Click here to donate $5 or more to the DSCC and help them reach their $621,000 goal before the big deadline. Every dollar you give will be matched!

The grassroots effort we need to fight back against Karl Rove, the Koch Brothers, and the Citizens United money machine can't be built overnight. With 23 seats to protect, and with Rove and his special interest allies already pledging to dwarf 2010's $130 million in secretive third-party spending, our firewall must be built stronger than ever – and that means we have to build it right now.

That's why Senate Democrats have agreed to match your contributions dollar-for-dollar in advance of the June 30 deadline.  

But we won't have another shot at this goal – so please don't wait. Take advantage of the match, and make your most generous contribution now to help the DSCC raise $621,000 by midnight on June 30!

We all remember the moments – from LBJ signing Medicare into law to the Democratic Senate's passage of health care and Wall Street reform – that served as milestones in our fight to build a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous country. 

June 30 could be another milestone, a moment when we stand together to protect that progress.

When we look back at this critical moment months from now, I want us to know that we were up to the challenge. That's why I'm urging you to stand with the DSCC right now.

Thank you for being part of this fight.

Sincerely,

Harry Reid
