Received this e-mail today from Rep. Tammy Duckworth's (D. IL) U.S. Senate campaign and I had to pass this along:
You can see why I had to pass this along. By the way, a familiar face is helping Duckworth get ready to take on Kirk:
Last cycle, Republicans spent more than $40 million to defeat me in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race -- including more money spent from anonymous donors than on any other race in the country.
For the 2016 cycle, Republicans are making it a top priority to defend the incumbent Mark Kirk in Illinois, and you can be certain they’re going to spend just as heavily again.
Fortunately, Illinois has a terrific Democratic candidate in Tammy Duckworth, a combat veteran who was wounded flying Black Hawk helicopter missions in Iraq. But she needs our help early on to build a campaign that can take on the GOP’s big money machine.
Join me in supporting Tammy Duckworth’s campaign to represent Illinois in the U.S. Senate with a $5 contribution today.

Illinois is a must-win race if we're going to retake the Democratic Senate majority this cycle, and our chances are looking good: Roll Call has called Mark Kirk “the most vulnerable Republican Senator in the country.”
Meanwhile, Tammy has a strong record of serving women, veterans, and all working families in Congress, and I know she will be an amazing champion for all of us in the Senate.
Tammy’s race is our best chance in the country to flip a Republican seat in 2016 and to elect a Senator who will move our country forward. That’s what makes your contribution today so important.
