I want to introduce you to Tammy Tyrrell. It's a longer email, but she's worth it!

She's worked side by side with me as long as I've been a Senator. She's helped me achieve everything I've been able to achieve.

A Royal Commission into Veteran Suicide.
A Victoria Cross for Teddy Sheean.
Saving ARENA, the CEFC and renewable energy target from the scrap heap.
Wiping Tasmania's $157 million public housing debt.

Every victory, done with my one vote. Imagine what we could do with two.

You can't just pick anyone to join you in Parliament. Tammy's my pick to be the next Senator for Tasmania, because she shares my values. Like me, she wants a leg up for the little guy. She wants politics to be open to everyone. And she's suspicious of whenever there's too much power in the hands of too few people.

She wants to help people. She's spent her whole life helping people. That's what politicians should be about.

She'd make a damn fine politician, because she's nothing like a politician.

Watch this video introducing her. You'll see what I mean.

The balance of power is up for grabs this election. If Tammy wins, we hold the balance of power on everything. If Tammy doesn't win, the Liberals have total control of the Senate.

That's the ballgame. That's what's at stake.

We can do big things with the balance of power, and if the media reports today are true, we're the ones with the greatest chance to take it off the Liberals.

So I need you to help us build a warchest. Can you make a $34 donation now, and get our campaign off to a flying start?

The man standing between Tammy and the Senate? His name is Eric Abetz. He's been a Senator for 27 years. And you don't spend 27 years in the building without picking up a few tricks.

So we know he's ruthless, we know he's cunning, we know he's desperate to win. And he's going to throw everything at us.

But I want to beat him. I want to prove that it's possible to be a different kind of politician. I want power to be in the hands of people who know what they want to do with it. People like Tammy Tyrrell.

Tammy always says to me, "good people make good politicians." I think she's right. And let me tell you -- she'd make a damn good politician.

With an election right around the corner, emails are our most effective means of reaching out, at short notice, to organise, fundraise, get in touch with volunteers, let people know what’s happening or what’s just happened. Email is how we share information – and share the tools to turn information into action.

We don't have the budget of the major parties. We fuel our campaigns with small donations - from people just like you. Every dollar we receive gets put into our campaigns. We're building a better type of politics, one $8 donation at a time. Can you chip in $8 now?
