Dear Robert,

There's one thing that politicos from both parties agree on this fall: Republican campaigns are floundering. 
 
Everyone predicted the Democrats' demise during this election cycle. Fall should have been doomsday season for the left. 
 
Instead, we're newly competitive in Senate races that were deemed "unwinnable," and we've got GOP House candidates pleading for help. 
 
That's because Democrats are running people-powered campaigns. Millions of supporters have chipped in to help ensure that the Republicans' reactionary policy ideas don't become a reality. 
 
Democrats are counting on millions of people to step up in the next 8 weeks to defeat the Republicans and that means extra strain on ActBlue's infrastructure. Can you chip in $10 right now so we're ready to handle all those contributions?

Republicans have a terrible reputation nationally after they shut down the government last year, and even their candidates in deep red districts are feeling the heat. 
 
And with a hugely successful small-dollar donor movement fueled by ActBlue, Democratic campaigns have out-raised their Republican challengers by huge sums, countering the influence of Super PAC money from the Kochs and their friends. 

We've got a real shot to hold onto the Senate and take back seats in the House, but only if we keep the pressure on Republicans. 

Will you chip in $10 right now so we can handle the millions of small-dollar donations it will take to win on Election Day?
