Help air TV ads in Senate swing states

In an amazing development in the Senate race in Georgia, a new poll shows that Democrat Raphael Warnock has surged to the lead. And stunningly, the nonpartisan Cook Political Report has moved this Senate race—long thought to be a safe GOP seat—to the "toss-up" category.

Dear MoveOn member,

In an amazing development in the Senate race in Georgia, a new poll shows that Democrat Raphael Warnock has surged to the lead. And stunningly, the nonpartisan Cook Political Report has moved this Senate race—long thought to be a safe GOP seat—to the "toss-up" category.1

Mar, electing Rev. Warnock could be what finally puts an end to Mitch McConnell's stranglehold on the Senate. Which is why, today, MoveOn has a huge announcement: We are launching a massive TV, radio, and digital ad campaign in Georgia to power Rev. Warnock to victory. 

But we need your help.

Our ability to keep the ads up, run them during prime time, and make sure that the right voters see them is entirely up to members like you. With only 19 days left in this election, will you chip $3 a week to help power MoveOn's closing argument in Georgia? (MoveOn will bill your weekly donation to your credit card once a month starting today and will contact you shortly after the election to see if you want to modify or cancel your weekly donation.)

Count me in.

No, I'm sorry, I can't chip in weekly.

Thanks to MoveOn members who chipped in what they could, we've already launched hard-hitting ads to flip Senate seats in Arizona, Maine, and South Carolina. As Politico reports, "the ads hit Graham as 'phony,' McSally as after people's health care and Collins for not standing more firmly against Trump."2

Now, we need your help to ensure that our ads stay on the air and to expand our campaign into the newly competitive race in Georgia. 

We have the momentum. Now, we need to finish the job. And MoveOn's ad campaign can do exactly that.

Here's why: MoveOn's data analytics team meticulously tested dozens of different ads to determine which messages have the strongest impact on motivating our target audiences to the polls. Our ads are based on this research and are tailor-made to turn out the vote among Democratic-leaning voters who are typically ignored by the Establishment.

If we can motivate these Democratic-leaning voters to cast their ballots, we will win this election. But we can't do this alone.

With just 19 days left and everything on the line, will you dig deep and chip in $3 a week to power our massive ad campaign to flip the Senate? (MoveOn will bill your weekly donation to your credit card once a month starting today and will contact you shortly after the election to see if you want to modify or cancel your weekly donation.)

Count me in.

No, I'm sorry, I can't chip in weekly.

In this election, we don't just have an opportunity to get rid of Donald Trump. We have a chance to keep a Democratic House and elect a Democratic Senate and a Democratic president. 

Just imagine what that would mean in January 2021. 

Trump, with his tail between his legs, would be seething in Mar-a-Lago.

Mitch McConnell would be powerless to stop big, bold progressive reforms.

Lindsey Graham would be scouring the want ads, looking for a new job.

We'd have a President Joe Biden who would listen to the scientists and public health experts to lead us during this pandemic.

Kamala Harris would make history as the first woman and first person of color to assume the office of the vice president.

Bernie Sanders would be the new chair of the Senate Budget Committee—and we'd have a real shot at making sure that our government finally works for everyday Americans instead of mega-corporations. 

And the Democratic Senate would FINALLY vote on progressive bills—on climate change, on gun reform, on immigration, on racial justice, and more—that the Democratic House has already passed but that Mitch McConnell has blocked for years. 

All of this and more is within reach. A new, better world is possible.

It starts with flipping the Senate, stopping Mitch McConnell, and terminating Trump's dangerous agenda. But we can do that only if grassroots supporters like you chip in. 

We don't have much time. Please, start a $3 weekly donation right now to MoveOn's final push to flip the Senate and win the White House. (MoveOn will bill your weekly donation to your credit card once a month starting today and will contact you shortly after the election to see if you want to modify or cancel your weekly donation.)

Count me in.

No, I'm sorry, I can't chip in weekly.

Thanks for all you do.

Dan, Allison, Heather, Ankur, and the rest of the team
