I have to ask:

Democrats defend 23 Senate seats next year ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ You're getting this message because you’ve supported good causes and Democratic candidates. We need your support to continue fighting for our democracy. We love having you in our network, but if you no longer wish to hear from us, you can[unsubscribe here](. It’s Cliff, here. I wanted to make sure you heard that pro-choice champion, Kirsten Gillibrand, is running for reelection. Her message is below: {NAME}, My end-of-quarter deadline is just around the corner. With the GOP prepared to invest millions of dollars into defeating Democrats like me to flip the Senate, I’ve set an ambitious $100,000 goal. The truth is, I rely on donations from grassroots supporters like you to hit these goals. That’s why I’m about to ask you to make a donation to help me close out this quarter on the strongest possible footing. [(If you’re ready to give now, you can split a contribution between my campaign and Blue Amp Action here.)]( But first, I want to personally thank you for standing with me as we take on the toughest fights in Washington. Thank you for never giving up the fight to make gun trafficking a federal crime. After 13 years, my legislation was finally passed in last year's Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Already, we're stopping the flow of illegal guns across the nation. Thank you for having my back as I lead the fight to protect Social Security and Medicare and ensure that seniors can retire in dignity. Thank you for proudly standing with me in my fight to certify the Equal Rights Amendment. Today, we’re so close to finally establishing gender equality in our Constitution — giving us a legal basis to restore reproductive rights. But here's the bad news: If Republicans flip even one Senate seat, they could retake the majority and undo all of our progress. With 23 Democratic seats on the ballot, our grassroots resources will be stretched thin. Especially after the GOP’s historic gains in New York last year, I need your help to defend my must-win seat. [That's why I have to ask: Please, will you split $10 or more between my campaign and Blue Amp Action before midnight tonight to help me hit my end-of-quarter goal and defend our Senate majority? I’m counting on your support, {NAME}.]( [DONATE NOW]( Thank you again for everything that you do. It’s an honor to take on these fights with you by my side. With gratitude and love, Kirsten Cliff Schecter President, Blue Amp Action Amplify Good About BlueAmp Action: We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia. Thank you for your support for all we do!
