Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D. CA) in support of U.S. Senators Chris Murphy (D. CT) & Bill Nelson’s (D. FL) re-election campaigns:

This is because of you, friend, but our fight is far from over. We have to keep up the pressure to defeat this terrible bill for good.
For weeks now, the primary focus of the Senate Democrats has been defeating the Republican’s health care repeal bill, which is nothing more than an attempt to cut taxes for the wealthy at the direct expense of 22 million Americans who will lose health insurance. This fight is far from over, but we must keep up the calls and pressure to stop the GOP from passing this immoral bill.
Meanwhile, the Koch Brothers -- who don’t think this bill goes far enough -- are gearing up to target vulnerable Democrats on the ballot in 2018, pledging to spend upwards of $400 million next year. And they are specifically coming after some of the most effective voices in the fight to save the Affordable Care Act, like my colleagues Senators Chris Murphy and Bill Nelson.
Both Chris and Bill have been standing with us in the health care fight, which means they haven’t had that time to fundraise or get ready for the attacks that are coming from the Koch Brothers. So in this moment, I’m reaching out to ask you to pitch in what you can to help them before this week’s deadline:
Rush an urgent contribution of $3 to Senators Chris Murphy and Bill Nelson. Both of them are vulnerable in 2018 and are under attack from shady, right-wing donors for having the courage to join with us in opposing this bill that has life-or-death consequences for millions of Americans.
The only chance we have to stop Trump’s radical agenda -- from health care to climate change and everything in between -- is by making calls, raising your voices at town halls, and protecting my colleagues who are running in 2018 (and electing more like them in states like Nevada, Arizona, and Texas.)
This fight against the Trump Administration and the Republicans is going to take all of us. That’s why your contribution is so important today.
Thanks for everything you do.
Kamala Harris
U.S. Senator, California
