Click here to donate to Feingold, Duckworth and Strickland's campaigns:This is huge: New projections show that Democrats have a real chance to win back the Senate in 2016.1Imagine that: We'd take the leader's gavel away from Mitch McConnell, push Ted Cruz back into the minority, and reduce the power of the furthest right-wing extremists in the Republican Party. It would be a clear rebuke of Republican attacks on women's health, the working class, and diplomacy—and on their disastrous disregard for responsible governance.
And, it gets better: Not only can we take back the Senate ... we can do it with a crop of Democratic candidates who have proven they are willing to go to bat for what MoveOn members believe in.
MoveOn members just endorsed three candidates, all of whom stood up in favor of the Iran nuclear deal and against another catastrophic war in the Middle East, in spite of backlash from well-heeled war hawks. And now, they need our help before the fundraising quarter ends on Wednesday.

https://pol.moveon.org/...As a senator, Russ Feingold was one of the loudest voices for civil liberties, against illegal government wiretapping, and for peace over war. His loss in the Tea Party wave of 2010 was heartbreaking—as is the mayhem the Tea Party has unleashed ever since.
If we can bring back Feingold, he'll be just as bold a progressive champ as Elizabeth Warren, Al Franken, Jeff Merkley, and others—pushing to get big money out of politics, raise the minimum wage, and address climate change.
We need Feingold in the Senate. And we need to elect pro-diplomacy colleagues who will stand alongside him. Tammy Duckworth voted to support the Iran deal in the House. And Ted Strickland was one of the Democrats who opposed the Iraq War when he served in the House.
Will you support these proven pro-diplomacy candidates today?
Click here to chip in, and help take back the Senate by electing pro-diplomacy candidates we can believe in!
These are candidates that MoveOn members have voted to endorse. They are candidates that can win. And, they are running in places that are some of Democrats' best chances to pick up seats. Now, let's support their campaigns.
Like it or not, we all know that under our current system, fundraising prowess is a sign of a candidate's strength. This Wednesday is the deadline for this fundraising quarter, and strong showings by all three candidates will send a message: When you stand for diplomacy and against war, grassroots progressives will have your back.
It's an important message for Democrats across the country to hear.
So are you in? Click here to help jump-start these campaigns—one key step in winning back the Senate and making America more progressive.
Thanks for all you do.
