Received this e-mail today from Senator Brian Schatz's (D. HI) campaign:
In a campaign, the people who stand with you say a lot about your values and your strength.
That's why yesterday's announcement was so huge: The Hawaii Government Employees Association (HGEA), Hawaii's largest union representing over 42,000 members, unanimously endorsed Brian Schatz.
HGEA's endorsement is just the latest sign of the tremendous momentum building behind Brian's campaign. But with another critical quarterly fundraising deadline coming up at midnight on June 30, we need to keep that momentum going.
So today, we're launching a $25,000 grassroots fundraising drive over the next 14 days to close the quarter strong and demonstrate our commitment to keeping Brian Schatz in the U.S. Senate.
Will you contribute $5, $10, or more right now to start our June 30th fundraising drive off strong -- and keep building the momentum behind Brian's campaign?

HGEA President Jackie Ferguson-Miyamoto identified Brian's “unwavering support for Hawaii's workers” and his “solid commitment to protecting Social Security and Medicare” as the key reasons they're standing with us.
As she said so beautifully, Brian's “dedication to improving the quality of life for working families is reflected in his leadership, and resides in his heart."
The HGEA joins 23 other endorsing organizations and thousands of supporters like you who are standing with Brian because they know he is the right person to defend Social Security and Medicare, support working families, protect our environment, and fight for a better life for everyone in Hawaii.
But to keep speaking out and standing up for us, Brian needs people like you and me to stand up for him -- and make sure he has the strongest fundraising report possible when the quarter ends at midnight on June 30th.
Will you contribute $5, $10, or more right now to help reach our $25,000 fundraising goal and keep Brian Schatz standing strong in the U.S. Senate?

We're in a tight race, and you can be sure the press, pundits, and our opponents will be combing through our next fundraising report to measure the strength of Brian's campaign.
Right now, the momentum is on our side -- and we've got to keep it there.
That's why I'm doing everything I can to make sure our next fundraising report reflects the strong and diverse coalition of people joining Brian's campaign.
Brian is working day and night, reaching out to supporters all over the state to share his ideas and keep building the campaign. But we need you to step up, too. Right now is the perfect time to make your first contribution to the campaign.
Can we count on you? Click here to contribute $5, $10, or more to Brian's campaign now and help us reach our $25,000 goal before we close the books at midnight June 30th!
