Subject: TODAY: Fierce defender of legitimacy
Friend,
Tammy Baldwin has been one of the fiercest defenders of our democratic legitimacy in the Senate this cycle. And she’s got something big going on today.
Senator Baldwin fought tenaciously against confirming Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court after Barack Obama -- and the majority of voters who elected him -- were denied the rightful opportunity to fill that seat. She’s fighting for lower drug prices, for Buy American rules, and lots of other priorities that faithfully reflect the needs of the voters that elected her.
But shadowy out-of-state attack groups are fighting to deny Wisconsin voters an equal say in Senator Baldwin’s reelection campaign. By one count, 85% of all nationwide third party attacks on Senate candidates have targeted Baldwin this year.
Help supporters across the country combat these attacks designed to delegitimize Tammy Baldwin. Contribute $3 to today’s special, one-day “Cheddarbomb” to reach $30,000 in one day.
A Cheddarbomb is a special type of “moneybomb” event where people throughout the country who support a good Wisconsin Democrat like Tammy Baldwin all come together to make contributions on the same day.
By driving up a one-day fundraising total for Senator Baldwin, we’ll make a powerful statement. Despite all the outside money pouring in to attack Senator Baldwin and drown out the legitimate voices of everyday Americans, we’ll show that we are strong and we are loud when we work together.
To maximize the power of this statement, we need to reach at least $30,000 today -- and to reach that goal, everyone needs to chip in.
Contribute $3 to reach $30,000 in one day and make a powerful statement about our power when we come together.
Thank you for standing up to support Senator Baldwin today,
LegitPAC Team
