Remember that secret convention of billionaires we told you about? News broke today that one man -- casino mogul Sheldon Adelson -- pledged $10 million to the Koch Brothers’ scheme to defeat President Obama and Democrats nationwide.

If you’re planning to contribute to our campaign to fight back, it’s critical that you make your donation in the next 24 hours. The midyear FEC reporting deadline hits tomorrow at midnight. We’re relying on your support: 80% of our contributions are $35 or less.

Donate $3 or more to back up President Obama with a Democratic majority in Congress and your gift will be triple-matched >>

Thanks for standing with us.
