Dear R.Hunter, 

Here's a lesson seared into all of us: in elections, there are no do-overs.
  
We only get one shot to keep the Tea Party from taking over the White House. 
  
We only get one shot to send progressive leaders to Washington. We only get one shot to do our job in 2011 so the DSCC can do its job in 2012. 
  
And 2011 will be over in a matter of hours.
  
The stakes are huge and there's no room for error or apathy: Ten Senate races are toss-ups. Our majority is a thin four seats. The DSCC is $185,000 short of its year-end goal. And this could be your last chance to do something about it. 
  
Any dollar we don't raise in 2011 is a dollar we can't use in 2012. So please click here to contribute $5, $10 or more today!

When we hit midnight on December 31, it isn't just the end of the year. It's the beginning of a mad dash to the finish line. Take it from someone who's seen a lot of pages flip on the political calendar: When it flips to 2012, we won't be able to win if we're not ready.  
  
It will start with the Iowa caucuses on January 3 – and it will only get more intense from there as Mitt, Newt, and the rest try to out-Tea-Party each other and Karl Rove cranks up the volume on the attack machine aimed at our star progressive recruits and Democrats nationwide.
  
The DSCC is committed to fighting back in 2012, calling out GOP lies and holding Republicans accountable for their radical agenda. But that won't be possible if we miss our goal in 2011.
  
Please don't let the year end without taking action. Click here right now and contribute $5, $10 or more to help the DSCC reach its year-end goal.  We're $185,000 short and there are only two days left, so act now! I know you understand the threat we face if Republicans can capture just four of the 23 Democratic-held seats up for grabs in 2012.

Without our majority, we'll have no way to stop their agenda: from rolling back women's rights to a vicious tax hike on middle-class families. And one smear attack could tip any of those ten toss-up races – or even the majority – if we're unable to respond.
  
So consider this an urgent warning from someone who knows the political calendar pretty well. Things are about to get intense. We have only a few hours left to prepare. 
  
And there won't be any second chances if we fail.

Don't let the clock run out on 2011 – or on our majority. Click here to give now.

John Kerry
