Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D. NV) in support of Rep. Patrick Murphy’s (D. FL) U.S. Senate campaign:
I’ll be retiring from the Senate after this year. Marco Rubio from Florida said that he would do the same.
Yesterday, Rubio announced that he has decided to run for the Senate.
My friend, Patrick Murphy, needs your help to defeat him. Donate $5 to Patrick’s campaign now.
This type of double speak isn’t shocking from Rubio, but it does mean that the Florida Senate race has become that much more competitive.
Florida will be one of the states that determines control of the Senate. Patrick Murphy is running because he wants to strengthen our middle class and preserve Social Security.
The Kochs and other special interests have had their eye on Florida for a while, and now that their favorite is in the race, we can anticipate unprecedented spending.
Patrick needs to raise $20,000. Can you donate $5 to help?
Electing Patrick, defeating Marco Rubio, and getting control of the Senate is incredibly important to me. Will you rush in a contribution?
Harry Reid
