from my email...
Dear Scuba,
The entire nation is looking to Wisconsin.
I've known Paul Ryan for a long time and while I consider him a friend, families in Wisconsin know that the Romney/Ryan agenda is wrong for our state, wrong for our nation and wrong for the middle class.
Wisconsin is going to be a critical battleground this fall. In just a matter of hours, Republicans will choose my general election opponent. No matter which of the GOP candidates emerge, we know he'd be a rubber stamp of approval for the Romney/Ryan agenda if elected. We must do what's right for the middle class and I need you to join our fight.
We need to be prepared. With Russ Feingold's support, we are launching our 2012 Cheddarbomb -- a time when progressives across the country come together to support the candidates they know will fight for them.
You can be a part of it. Click here to contribute $10, $20, or whatever you can during our Cheddarbomb, and help this campaign hit our $200,012 goal.
Our opponents believe that we can move our economy forward by looking to the failed Bush era policies of the past that got us into our fiscal mess in the first place.
They all support budget busting tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires -- paying for them by increasing taxes on the middle class; increasing out-of-pocket health care costs for seniors; increasing the cost of higher education for students and their families and ending Medicare as we know it for future generations.
Special interest groups have already spent more than $2.25 million attacking me for taking on big moneyed special interests in Washington and fighting for Wisconsins middle class. Once they close the book on this primary, the powerful interest groups will double down on their mudslinging.
But our grassroots network stands strong. Weve fought them this far. And well be fighting even harder in the 12 weeks we have left until the general election.
Lets be ready. Show your support for our campaign and help us send a strong message right now:
