                              [ [link removed] ]Welch for Vermont
                 Hello,
   Now that we’ve secured the Democratic nomination to represent Vermont in
   the U.S. Senate (thanks to your help!), we can now turn our full attention
   to this November’s election. 
   We officially know who our opponent is going to be too, and national
   Republicans—including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell—have already
   begun working behind the scenes to flip this seat red in their efforts to
   regain the majority.
   We currently have a knife’s edge Senate, split 50/50. McConnell and the
   GOP have been angling for a return to power since the second they lost it,
   and if he becomes the Majority Leader again, there’s no chance we advance
   the progressive agenda our country needs for its future. If my opponent
   wins this November, he’ll be helping McConnell and the rest of their party
   give more tax cuts to the rich at the expense of working families. 
   [ [link removed] ]The Senate is up for grabs, and our race in Vermont is being closely
   monitored by Republicans all across the country. If you’re able, please
   make a $5 donation right away so we have what it takes to fight back and
   win.

    I firmly believe in working across the aisle and finding common ground
   with your political opponents, but that’s proven to be a challenge when
   Mitch McConnell’s in power. 
   I’ve watched good bill after good bill pass the House only to die in the
   Senate because McConnell’s been more concerned with maintaining his
   party’s control over our government than following the will of the
   American people. 
   Right now he’s using the filibuster to gum up our democracy, abusing his
   power even while he’s in the minority. He can’t be trusted to be Majority
   Leader again, and I believe this grassroots movement has the strength to
   ensure that doesn’t happen.
   [ [link removed] ]Election Day will be here before we know it, and I don’t want us
   leaving anything to chance. Can you help us meet (and hopefully surpass)
   our August fundraising goal with a $5 contribution right away?
   Thanks again for all you do,
   Peter
