There are only 3 days until the GOP convention

The following sponsored email was sent to you by AlterNet on behalf of Tammy Duckworth for Senate:

Dear Friend,

The Republican National Convention is rapidly approaching. We’re not sure what Donald Trump is going to say but we’ve already heard enough of his sexist, racist and xenophobic rhetoric to know that Donald Trump and the Republican Party do not represent the views of most middle-class Americans.

Now more than ever it is crucial that we take back the majority and build a Democratic firewall in the U.S. Senate – we must take every red seat that we can and flip it blue.

Illinois is the place to start. The Washington Post has called Illinois the "#1 most competitive Senate race in 2016". This race is Democrats' best chance in the country to turn a Republican Senate seat blue in November.

Will you add your name to help Tammy Duckworth defeat Mark Kirk, the most vulnerable GOP senator and put Democrats on the path toward turning the Senate blue?

Middle-class families need a leader like Tammy Duckworth who will fight for people like them and speak out against Donald Trump’s hateful fearmongering.

Tammy will stand up for working families and won't be beholden to corporate interests and billionaires. She'll fight to help our students by making college more affordable. Tammy is a Veteran who is dedicated to protecting the honor of those who sacrifice for our country every day.

Tammy Duckworth is the type of leader America needs in the Senate and will help build a Democratic firewall in the Senate come November. But she needs your support in order to do so.

Join our grassroots campaign to help Tammy defeat Republican incumbent Mark Kirk and turn the Senate blue. Add your name to stand with her.

Thank you for helping Tammy take back the Democratic Senate majority,

Team Duckworth
