R.Hunter --

Last night, a political earthquake rocked Indiana.
 
Six-term Republican Senator Richard Lugar was defeated in a Republican primary by a Tea Party darling backed by boatloads of outside money from extreme Republican groups.
 
You may not have heard much about last night's GOP winner, Richard Mourdock, but that's sure to change. He's this year's Sharron Angle -- an extreme candidate who questions whether Social Security and Medicare are constitutional and thinks Washington should be even more partisan.
 
He and candidates like him have taken over the Republican party. Their next target: the Senate.

We must stop them. Give $5 or more so Democrats will have the resources they need to prevent an extreme Republican takeover of the Senate!

What happened last night is both a warning and an opportunity. It's a warning because if we don't go on offense for candidates like Indiana Democrat Joe Donnelly right now, we could see a Tea Party majority in the Senate to match the one in the House. Social Security, Medicare, and many other vital programs would be placed in dire jeopardy if that happened.
 
But, it's an opportunity because we've shown that we can beat these extreme Republicans. We turned back Sharron Angle and Ken Buck in 2010. With your support, we can keep candidates like Richard Mourdock from leading an extreme Republican takeover of the Senate.
 
These extreme Republicans combine dangerous views with massive special interest backing, and we must be ready to defeat them at every turn. We can -- and will -- with candidates like Joe Donnelly and strong grassroots support from you.
 
Please stand with Democrats today to prevent a GOP takeover of the Senate.
