from ELIZABETH WARREN:

Americans are fighters. We are tough, resourceful, and creative.

If we have the chance to fight on a level playing field -- where everyone pays a fair share and everyone has a real shot -- then no one can stop us.

That's what I'm fighting for each and every day in the United States Senate. But here's the honest truth: at the end of the day, my one voice -- and my one vote -- isn't enough. We need many strong voices fighting together to stand up for what we believe in.

I've formed a new organization -- PAC for a Level Playing Field -- to advance our fight. Together we can do more, and we can support candidates across the country who believe in consistent accountability, investing in opportunity, and fighting for families and small businesses.

Just like our campaign, the PAC for a Level Playing Field won't be funded by big corporate interests. It will be funded by grassroots donors like you.

Will you join me as a founding member of the PAC for a Level Playing Field?

In 2012, you took on the big banks and the powerful interests -- and you taught a scrappy first-time candidate how to get in the ring and win.

Your $5 and $10 donations powered us with more small-dollar funding than any other Senate campaign in the history of the United States. And with your hard work, we knocked on more doors and made our case to more voters one-on-one than any campaign in the history of Massachusetts.

Using our historic fundraising efforts and the single best grassroots army that any Senate campaign has ever seen, the PAC for a Level Playing Field will fight for what we believe in and help candidates who will join us in that fight.

Can I count on you to become a founding member? Join the PAC for a Level Playing Field now.

I know how many of you have put your faith in my ability to fight for you -- and I'll never forget it. Now let's work together to level the playing field.

Thank you for being a part of this,

Elizabeth

There are hundreds of dupes on this site every day. I don't think one person gets exclusive rights to post an email every single one of us received.

Which, along with the seven or so other emails I received today that are about giving money, I deleted.

I gave way more than I could afford this past year, to the DSCC, DCCC, Obama campaign, and individual races. Now they are sending me daily "membership records," petitions, "big announcements," and all manner of things to try to induce me to give more. Including everything from Russ Feingold's Progressives United to Vote Vets to a dozen other groups.

Sorry, but I'm cashed out on this stuff and need to refocus on my own needs (like a big home repair I just found out about). Let's see how races are starting to shape up by the end of this year. I feel like every petition I foolishly sign and every big announcement I know is really just an appeal for money, and is starting to take me, if not for a dupe, at least for granted. And everyone wants to get their own pot of money to control, because that's the way to power. I'm speaking in general here, so no particular criticism of Elizabeth Warren specifically. Just let me send a message to them all: Don't call (write) me, I'll call (write) you.

Can you tell I'm in a bad mood today?
