John – Ohio's GOP is trying to draw me out of Congress.

I won't lie to you, John, National Republicans are throwing every dirty trick at me to flip my seat.

They've launched a million-dollar smear campaign against me because I won't fall in line with their outrageous bills.

And now, they're trying to redraw the Congressional map to make it nearly impossible for me to win re-election.

They know they can't count me out, so they're trying to draw me out.

But this team has fought too hard to get here and there are too many Ohioans counting on us. I'm not scared and I won't back down.

Here's the deal: At the end of the month, we face an FEC reporting deadline. That means the NRCC will be poring over our fundraising numbers, looking for a weak spot.

Our team met and we decided we absolutely need to raise $15,000 by midnight on Sunday in order to hit our targets and show the strength of this grassroots campaign. Can I count on you, John, to please chip in $10 to our mid-month goal?

I wouldn't ask unless it was incredibly important.
