NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll: Democrats lead the race for Congress 45% - 43% there's no time left to sit on the sidelines.

The latest polls show that we're within range of replacing the Tea Party Congress with a Democratic majority for President Obama, but the margins in many races are razor-thin. Our candidates need to have the resources to fight Republican attack ads and get the facts out to voters.

Donate $X or more to my campaign today. Your contribution will allow me to help Democrats nationwide make sure they have the resources they need in the final days of this election.

I've seen the Republican attack ads. They're a deliberate effort to mislead voters on issues like Medicare, Obamacare, and the economy. If we're going to win, we need your help to respond immediately.

Thank you,

P.S. What you've done so far has been incredible. With your help, we've proved we have what it takes to stand up to an unprecedented wave of corporate special interest cash. Will you step up one more time?

Alan -- the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows Democrats leading the race for Congress, 45% to 43%.

That means we're in range of replacing Boehner and Cantor's Tea Party majority with a Democratic House for President Obama!

But we have to close the spending gap. Republicans just announced they have $X million in their war chest, ready to pound away at President Obama and Democrats across the country with vicious attacks ads.

There's still time to close the gap, but we can't wait any longer.

We have 24 hours left until our next ad buy deadline: Donate $X or more to help us fight back against Republican attacks.



We're getting calls from campaigns that are being outspent by nearly 2-to-1 in races we have to win. When the polls close on November 6th, we don't want to have that sinking feeling that we didn't do everything we could to close the spending gap when it mattered.

Please chip in what you can to help us fight back:

Now let's go win this thing.
