It's getting dirty. You know it's almost election day when the right wing jumpstarts their efforts to win at any cost.
I don't know about you, but it just fires me up to help the candidates who are facing these dirty tactics. That's why I need you to join me in helping Mark Udall in Colorado and Ronnie Musgrove in Mississippi. Mark and Ronnie are in two of the toughest Senate races in the entire country, and they need your help.
Contribute to Mark Udall and Ronnie Musgrove before tomorrow's September 30th end-of-quarter deadline!

I hope you saw Mark Udall debate his opponent Bob Schaffer on Meet the Press yesterday.
Mark showed why Colorado needs him to be its Senator. Mark is a respected member of the House Armed Services Committee. He had the judgment to vote against the war in Iraq, and he continues to respect and honor the sacrifices of our veterans by fighting for the benefits they deserve.
Compare this to his opponent. As an oil executive, Schaffer went to Iraq to negotiate oil deals with Kurdistan, even though the State Department warned such actions could destabilize Iraq. As a former member of Congress, Bob Schaffer should know better. He knowingly risked the safety of our troops for his own self interests. It's unconscionable.
Yet over a dozen outside groups have spent over $12 million in attack ads on Mark. He's facing more attacks from outside groups than any Senate candidate in the country.
We can't let these special interests take Mark down. Contribute to his campaign before the September 30th fundraising deadline!

Now, it doesn't get much dirtier than trying to keep voters from casting a vote in an election. But that's exactly what Republicans tried to do in Mississippi.
The right-wing Governor and leadership in Mississippi tried to bury this race on the bottom of the ballot -- illegally -- to make it harder for people to vote for Ronnie. Thankfully, the right-wing's dirty campaign tactic was overruled by the Mississippi Supreme Court.
They're resorting to these tactics because they're worried. Democrats have a real chance to win this seat in deep red Mississippi. Ronnie, a former Governor who helped create over 52,000 new jobs and brought more than $14 billion in new investments to Mississippi, is running a strong campaign against appointed Republican Senator Roger Wicker. In fact, recent polls show the race to be a virtual tie.
The dirty tricks aren't going to stop, and Ronnie's going to need help to fight back. Contribute to his campaign today before tomorrow's midnight deadline.

The final weeks are critical to every campaign. Please make sure Mark and Ronnie have the resources to fight back in these final weeks.
Thank you for everything.
Sincerely,
Wes Clark
