Dear Hunter,

It's the last day of the fundraising quarter, and -- okay, go ahead and cheer.  I'll wait.

Okay.  

It's the last day of the fundraising quarter, and, at this point, we've tried everything.  We've told you about all those polls showing how close this race has become.  We've told you about how my Republican opponent, with support from folks like Michele Bachmann and the Koch brothers, is up on the air with negative ads.  We've told you about the super PACs.

We've begged, we've pleaded, we've destroyed your inbox.  But we still have to raise another $13,001 today to hit our goal.  So, at this point, I'm just going to ask.

Can you contribute $5 right now?

I know we've thrown the kitchen sink at you this quarter.  But that's only because the other side has thrown the kitchen sink at us.  They're attacking me on TV, online, in the mail -- doing everything they can to smear me and give the Kochs another seat in the Senate.

And here's the thing: It's working.  The polls show this race getting closer and closer.  It's already close enough that one powerful (expensive) attack from my Republican opponent or his special-interest backers could turn this race on its head if we're not ready to respond.

That's why we have to hit this $3OO,OOO goal -- and why we're sending you all these obnoxious emails.

So, with the deadline just hours away, here's the bottom line: We need your help.  And by help, I mean money.  Please click here to contribute.

Thanks for putting up with us.  And extra thanks for helping us win.

Al

P.S.: There's nothing our opponents won't stoop to if it helps them win.  We, on the other hand, have standards.  At least, so far.  But this deadline is coming up fast, and we're still $13,001 short.  Please don't make us get even more obnoxious.  Click here to help us reach our goal today!
