Friend -- I'll tell you one thing that worries me about this election: There's a small group of billionaires and corporate special interests that are trying to buy their way back into power. They're spending their fortunes to defeat our folks and elect some of the most right-wing Republicans this country has ever seen. We've launched the By the People Fund to fight back, with the goal of reaching 3 million grassroots donations to power the most ambitious on-the-ground effort ever waged in an election like this. Here's the deal: We're only 22,981 donations away from shattering that goal right now. We could reach it this month, with one big push this week. It's going to take 12 grassroots donations in your area to get there. Please chip in $5 to the By the People Fund today -- and help us take back our elections. I spent 36 years in the Senate, serving alongside Republicans of all stripes. But some of the Republicans running now are not from you...
