Good news!

Babs is starting to get worried:

Dear Chuck,
Here are the most important numbers to remember in the 2014 election:

21 Democratic Senate seats up for election 6 Republican pick-ups (only 6!) needed to take back the Senate majority ∞ Unlimited GOP donations from corporations, millionaires, and billionaires Millions being raised right now by GOP super PACs to defeat Senate Democrats

These numbers shouldn't scare us -- they should inspire us to act. The pundits may not think our grassroots donors can compete with their corporate deep pockets, but we are going to prove them wrong -- again!

In 2012, they predicted we would lose our Democratic majority. But, with your help, we expanded it. The GOP waged the War on Women, and we responded by electing more women to the Senate than ever before.

It's time to step up again.

Will you contribute $5, $10 or more now to help us reach our $100,000 grassroots goal before midnight Sunday -- the first big fundraising deadline of the year?

My colleagues know that PAC for a Change is a major force in fighting for a more progressive Senate.

I hear every day from leaders like Al Franken, Jeff Merkley, Jeanne Shaheen, and Mark Udall that they are counting on us to be the grassroots army they need to keep fighting beside me in the U.S. Senate.

We can't afford to let them down -- or let the American people down -- by allowing right-wing Republicans to take back the Senate.

Will you contribute $5, $10 or more right now, before the crucial March 31 deadline, to help us keep our Democratic Senate and stop the radical right-wing agenda?

In Congress this year, the GOP has made their agenda very clear: Medicare? End it. A woman's right to choose? Abolish it. Laws to protect our air, water, and health? Forget about it. Big tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires? The sky is the limit.

Let's be clear: The only things stopping the Republicans in Congress are the Democrats in the Senate.
That is why we must act right now if we want to keep our Democratic Senate in 2014 -- and the first key step is reaching our goal before midnight Sunday.

Will you contribute $5, $10 or more today to help us reach our $100,000 goal before Sunday at midnight?

Sunday's fundraising deadline is a critical early measurement of our collective strength.

We have to get ready -- right now -- to help my colleagues build the campaigns they need to fight back against an onslaught of super PAC attack ads.

We've never failed to reach our goals -- even an ambitious goal like this -- and I know this won't be the first.

We're going to need to keep working together every day from now until 2014 to keep our country moving forward. And that starts right now.

Thank you for standing up again.
In friendship,

Barbara Boxer
U.S. Senator

Hey Babs - WHAT "War on women"? The equal rights  part where you finally got the military to admit women into regular combat positions - along with the possibility of a female draft?
