Received this e-mail today from Vice President Joe Biden in support of Secretary of State Jason Kander’s (D. MO) U.S. Senate campaign:
I was around Jason’s age when I first ran for U.S. Senate. His race reminds me a lot of mine.
Like Jason, I was up against a long-time incumbent. Like Jason, when I started my campaign, very few people in Washington thought we had a chance.
We proved them wrong, exactly like you folks are doing now.
But you’re up against something we didn’t have so much of in my time: Special Interests. Sure, there were always groups that tried to influence elections. But after the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United a couple of years ago, we've never seen the kind of unlimited flow of dark money that's flooding our politics today.
Special interest groups have already pledged nearly $6 million against Jason. And now that the polls are dead even, more and more money will pour in.
Jason needs to raise $150,000 this month to keep fighting for everything you care about. And he needs you--which is why I'm asking for your help.
Can you make a contribution? Even $5 or $10 will help. Make a contribution >>
Take it from me -- Jason can win. And he’d make a fantastic Senator. But he’s going to need all of our help.
We need to pull together in these final 84 days to get him over the finish line.
Give what you can to help Team Kander reach $150,000 >>
Thanks!
Joe Biden
