Dear Robert,

A top Koch operative left his position at one of their non-profits this week to move on to bigger and even worse Koch-funded things.

He'll be leading a new branch of the Kochs' organization that the brothers are calling "a major effort" to win over moderate and disengaged voters. 

They're getting started early. And with the kind of money they're working with, they're going to be tough to beat.

At ActBlue we're providing Democrats with the tools they need to raise money to build campaigns capable of besting Koch-funded groups and their nearly endless resources. 

Will you chip in $5 a month to help elect Democrats in 2016?

The Kochs are stockpiling tools of manipulation. 

In order to appeal to moderate voters, they'll have to sell ultra-conservative candidates as good for moderate, independent thinkers. 

They're going to flood the airwaves with false advertising and half-truths about the Republican field. They want to alter the conversation surrounding the 2016 election, to make sure someone with their far-right values is sitting in the Oval Office. 

We have to get started now if we're going to stand a chance in 2016. Democratic candidates can't go up against the Kochs and their well-oiled machine without help from millions of supporters like you.

At ActBlue we're making all of those small-dollar contributions possible.

Will you chip in $5 a month to help Democrats win?
