State Senator Andrew Rice has been on a roll with his campaign against extremist Jim Inhofe. He picked up the endorsements of the AFL-CIO and Sierra Club. And then on Thursday, Democracy for America endorsed Rice and asked people to give $25 to this Actblue Page they set up.

Chuck Schumer and the DSCC consider Rice's race as an insurgent campaign that can get us to a 60 Democrat filibuster-proof in the Senate. From the NYTImes earlier this month:
In Oklahoma, environmental groups are raising money to support Andrew Rice, a young state senator hoping to use Senator James M. Inhofe’s views on global warming — he has said that its effects are exaggerated — to galvanize voters and deny Mr. Inhofe a fourth term.
Among those sending Mr. Rice money was Adam Browning, the executive director of Vote Solar, an advocacy group in California.
"When you look at what’s happening in Congress right now, the magic number is not 51, it’s actually 60," Mr. Browning said. "There has been a bunch of very important legislation from an environmental perspective that Republicans have successfully filibustered."
In an interview, Mr. Rice said: "What I find among swing voters statewide is it’s time for change. Inhofe has been in there too long. They really don’t care whether I am a Democrat or a Republican."
Can you help keep the DFA momentum going and give Rice $25.01 today?
Inhofe's campaign sent out a very defensive (and laughable) email on friday trying to argue Inhofe is not an extremist, just a "reliable conservative". Contribute today!
End of the Quarter is tonight at midnight, whatever you can give will help.
Keep the Big Mo on Rice's side!
