PAID FOR BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF KENTUCKY AND AUTHORIZED BY MCCONNELL SENATE COMMiTTEE '14

So desperate! One wonders how much of McTurtle's own $1.8 million went into printing and mailing this stinker.

Elizabeth Warren this Saturday

Dear MoveOn member,

It's showtime.

The final get-out-the-vote push to save the Senate is here. With the finish line in sight, MoveOn members across the country are gearing up for a massive surge in our get-out-the-vote calls to voters by the end of Election Day.

Will you join a special call with Senator Elizabeth Warren this Saturday to kick it off?

 

 

 

Here's how to RSVP:

What: Get Out The Vote Call with Elizabeth Warren
When: Saturday, November 1, at 4:30 p.m. ET (3:30 CT/2:30 MT/1:30 PT)
How: Click here to RSVP and submit questions in advance
RSVP Deadline: Friday, October 31, 10:30 a.m. ET (9:30 CT/8:30 MT/7:30 PT)

We'll discuss what's at stake, what's been accomplished, and what's next for MoveOn members taking part in our Voters Rising initiative.

As for the energy and inspiration and sense of determination—well, here's a preview of where members like you stand:

• "Everyone giving their little bit, from whatever the motivation or personal reserves that keep them going​, is the people-power that alone can withstand the 1%-ers money flooding the airwaves and election."—Nick D. from San Antonio, TX
• "Thank you, MoveOn, for creating this system, and thank you first time callers for getting involved."—Jonathan M. from Santa Rosa, CA
• "I'm uplifted. Hopeful. Raring to go. Because this is what democracy looks like."—Suzanne P. from Bethlehem, CT

Hope you can make it! Let's rise up to get out the vote!

Thanks for all you do.
