Dear Friend,
This is the moment we have all been waiting for since 2004.
After traveling across the country and hearing the hopes and concerns of so many people in so many places, I can say without a doubt that this country is ready for change. That Americans are ready to believe again. And that on November 7th, we're going to win.
Democrats will win not only because we have the right ideas and the right candidates but because we have the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) helping them run the most efficient and disciplined campaigns you have ever seen. The DSCC has neutralized the Republican fundraising advantage and implemented the biggest get out the vote program in the history of the Democratic Party.
Now, in these crucial 12 days before the election, the other side will rely on the same scare tactics and divisive ads we've seen before in order to keep their majority and keep their power. We will rely on you.
The time for complaining about the direction of this country is over. The question now is: What are we going to do to change it?
All of the work we've done comes down to who wants it more in these final days. I will not rest until we have a Democratic Senate. Neither can you. Please vote for change by giving to the DSCC today.

It's easy to say you've had enough with the Republican can't-do, won't-do, won't-even-try style of governance.
But we know it's not enough to say you've had enough. To truly win in November, every single person who believes in change needs to donate the time, the effort, and the money to make it happen. In the past, Republicans have won elections because they were better funded and better organized.
Not this time. People are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
In the past month, I have traveled to 15 states in support of Democratic candidates who are ready to get things done for the American people. Instead of the ideology and absolutism we've seen from today's leadership, people like Claire McCaskill in Missouri and Harold Ford, Jr. in Tennessee represent the pragmatism and common sense that is required of tomorrow's great leaders.
But all the polls and pundits saying that Democratic victory is near don't mean anything unless we all redouble our commitment over the next 12 days. We know what the Republicans have in store. We've seen the ads, we've seen the attacks, and it's up to us to say "Not this time."

The wonder of our democracy is that every few years, we are granted the opportunity to move towards an America more fair, more just, and more hopeful than ever before - an America that isn't divided by the differences among us, but united by the challenges we face.
Now is the time to reach for that America. Now is the time to believe again.
Let's get to work.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
