Dear Stefan,
I've said it once and I have to say it again: the
Republican Party seems to have gone off the deep end and is being taken over by
the far right wing.
What do I mean? Well, one candidate takes issue
with the 1964 Civil Rights Act, another suggests bartering chickens for
checkups, and a third would privatize Social Security at a time when millions
are out of work. For good reason, those ideas have already been consigned to the
dustbin of history.
Why would we want Rand Paul, Sue Lowden or Dan Coats
in the Senate, to risk refighting settled debates over "separate but equal," and
taking us back to bartering and the pre-Great Depression era, when seniors were
left to fend for themselves?
We have 12 hours until the DSCC's monthly
deadline, and a lot is riding on meeting this goal. Your gift will ensure that
we have the resources needed to keep these candidates and their agenda away from
Washington. President Obama's success depends on it.

It's no secret that
midterm elections usually mean an uphill climb for the party holding the White
House - and this year is certainly no exception. The Tea Party movement is
stoking anger on the right. And there's the incomprehensible decision by the
Supreme Court to allow corporations to spend unlimited money in support of their
chosen candidates.
Rand Paul, Sue Lowden, Dan Coats and other candidates
with wacky, wild and yes - sometimes even dangerous - views would be drummed out
in a typical election year, but this year isn't typical. The national Republican
Party is backing these candidates because they think they can win. It's up to us
to show that these candidates have no business doing our country's
business.
The momentum is shifting. Let's keep on pushing.

The Republicans have
lost control of their party to the far right - and their candidates prove it.
The DSCC has what it takes to beat them - but only with your help. Let's work
together to defeat these candidates before the Party of No becomes the Party of
Yes - yes to dangerous ideas! Our future depends on
it.
Sincerely,
Sen. John Kerry
