Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D. NM):
Last week, President Obama announced his Supreme Court nominee, and immediately after, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans doubled down on their commitment to hold the Supreme Court hostage for political gain.
Taking back the Senate is the only way to defeat this kind of extreme obstruction -- but we can only do that if we help Patrick Murphy in Florida and Jason Kander in Missouri. These are must-win races for Democrats.
As part of my Progressive Grassroots Fund to elect Democrats, I am reaching out for your help to raise $10,000 by midnightThursday for Patrick and Jason. Can I count on your strong support?
In Florida, Patrick's race is called a "critical piece of the puzzle" for Democrats to win back the Senate. The Koch brothers and Karl Rove have already attacked Patrick with their dark-money Super PACs because they know that Florida is a key state for control of the Senate. Click here to support Patrick and help Democrats win!
In Missouri,Jason's race is on the Washington Post's list of Top 10 Senate races in 2016, dubbed "the sleeping giant on the Senate map." It is no wonder the National Republican Senatorial Committee and Karl Rove have been attacking Jason for months, and we need to help him fight back. Click here to support Jason and help Democrats win!
We have to take back the Senate in November, and that means winning in Florida and Missouri. Can I count on you to chip in right away to help Democrats win?
