As we wind up this fundraising quarter, I am sure you are all getting inundated with emails from different candidates asking for your support.
Like most of you, I know that our country is ready for change. After seven years of failed leadership from George Bush, it’s time we send new leaders to Washington. But as we’ve seen recently, it’s not just enough to elect Democrats; we must elect better Democrats.
Together we can create a Congress that will bring an end to the war in Iraq, ensure that every American has healthcare, and never capitulate when it comes to protecting our Constitutional liberties. But to create this Congress, I need your help and there is no better time to help than right now.
My opponent, Mark Kirk, is not only one of the top Republican fundraisers in the nation, but he has also been one of the biggest defenders of this administration. He didn’t just vote to get us into the war in Iraq, he actually was handpicked by the President to craft the language to get us into it. Just a few days ago, he was caught spreading the false claim that China is drilling off the Florida coast, a fabrication that even Vice-President Dick Cheney has disavowed.
The Republicans are going to do everything they can to hold onto this seat, so we need to do everything we can to have the financial resources we need to win come November.
In just over 200 days, we are going to swear in a new government. Let’s do everything we can right now to make sure it’s a government that will deliver the change we all deserve.
Join our movement for change by signing up for a virtual phone bank, committing to walking in a Fourth of July parade, or adding .10 to any contribution you can make today to help us bring the change we need to Washington.

Thank you for all of your hard work and your commitment to demanding more from our government.
