Check out this awesome fundraising fishhook that graced my email inbox today:
Dear Conservative,
Why are Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vice President Joe Biden coming to Detroit and trying to defeat me this week?
Because Michigan will be the race this year that decides who controls the Senate, and whether President Obama's agenda gets a rubber stamp for the rest of his term.
The Left knows it. And they are terrified by how close their majority is to slipping away. You can tell by their actions. The Democrats are all-hands-on-deck in Michigan, all the way up to the Vice President.
The Democrats have dropped over six million dollars on TV against our campaign - more than they are spending on any other Senate race. And liberal mega-donor Tom Steyer jumped in, pledging to lavish money on our race to make sure his extreme environmental agenda made it to Washington.
Now they're calling in the big artillery.
The liberal grassroots are about to invade Detroit for this year's Netroots Nation conference. Here's what the executive director of Netroots Nation told the Detroit News about why their conference is being held in Michigan this year - and attracting all of the big name stars from the Left:
“The reason that you’re seeing two of the rock stars in the Democratic Party (Biden and Warren) … is because everyone realizes this is an incredibly important election, the future of the Senate hangs in balance.”
They are working hard to bring in the big names for a big event in Michigan to fire up their grassroots and get them working hard for my opponent, Rep. Gary Peters.
So how will our campaign fight back against the national liberal grassroots? With the national conservative grassroots, of course.
That's why were asking for your help today. Will you donate today and prove that the conservative grassroots can beat out the liberal grassroots?
Republicans need to pick up 6 seats to take back the majority in the Senate and return Harry Reid to the minority where he belongs. This is our best opportunity to win a Michigan Senate seat since 1994 and the Democrats know it. Michigan is their firewall.
There is simply no scenario where Democrats can lose Michigan and still keep majority.
Michigan is the battleground that will decide control of the United States Senate. Joe Biden is coming here this week for the expressed purpose of trying to defeat me and rallying the Democrat base.
We need your help today. Will you join us?

"FEAR! FEAR! LIBERALS! AAAHHH! Give me money, please."
I find it funny though, that there is no real mention of why the recipient SHOULD support Land and the GOP. Just Democrat=Bad.
Kind of a microcosm of Land's whole campaign. "Elect me so I can be a Senator."
