The Good News - we've picked up several endorsements that previously went to the GOP candidate for this seat (including Planned Parenthood, the Sierra Club, Human Rights Campaign, the Chicago Sun-Times, Daily Herald, etc) and Dan is leading in the polls.
The Bad News - special interest groups are out-spending us on the right, and we need your help to stay on the air through Election Day.
Please consider donating whatever you can afford today, and thank you!
Friends --
Great news!
The endorsements continue. The Chicago Sun-Times, Daily Herald, and Lake County News-Sun have all endorsed Dan Seals for Congress.
Dan’s lead in the polls continues. On Wednesday, The Hill published an independent poll showing Dan up 12 points. And on Friday, Nate Silver of the New York Times’ FiveThirtyEight predicted Dan has a 70.5% chance of winning.
Great news, but . . . we are running out of money.
We just bought TV advertising that covers the next ten days.
But we are $50,000 short of being able stay on the air through Election Day.
It’s that simple. We must raise $50,000 by Wednesday in order to have the money in the bank for our final week of ad buys. Time is running out and we need your support now more than ever.
The opposition is outspending us left and right. A shadowy right wing group just bought $600,000 in attack ads against Dan.
Help us fight back today! If every one of us gives $10 or more, we’ll be in great shape.
Don’t let everything we’ve accomplished come undone now. Please help us cross the finish line!
