| Dear MOHIUDDIN,  | They were the three biggest steps towards fairness and equality in 20th century America.
Franklin Roosevelt gave us the New Deal and Lyndon Johnson gave us Medicare and the Civil Rights Act.
But that's only half the story.
The other half is that the historic legislation those presidents signed emerged from Senates that had overwhelming Democratic majorities, far bigger than the narrow one-seat majority we hold today.
In 2008, Democrats everywhere must unite to take back the White House and elect a new wave of Democratic Senators committed to bringing our troops home from Iraq, universal health care and aggressive action on climate change.
I know you may have never given to the DSCC before, but these momentous changes won't happen unless each and every one of us gets behind their efforts to create a gridlock-proof Democratic majority. A contribution today - even as little $5 - helps the DSCC meet their $2.25 million goal and ensures that we'll have the money, manpower and voter outreach to triumph on Election Day.
This goal is so important that a group of Democratic senators will match your contribution two-to-one if you give by June 30.

Strong Democratic Senate majorities are even more important now than they were in the past, because the Republicans have decided they have zero interest in cooperating.
In 2007, the Republican Senate filibustered more bills than any Congress in U.S. history.
They blocked bills that would've repealed egregious tax breaks for oil companies, allowed Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for seniors, and forced President Bush to begin troop withdrawals from Iraq.
The stakes are simply too high for America for this to continue. The DSCC knows how to elect Democratic senators who will create a strong enough Senate majority to overcome even the most strident Republican obstruction.
Thousands of small contributions from committed Democrats like you add up to give the DSCC everything they need to build a rapid reaction team that knows exactly when and where your money can make the greatest difference.
Months before the election in 2006, the DSCC knew the Montana Senate race would be a nail-biter, which is why they set aside almost $3 million - raised $5 and $20 at a time - for a last-minute push that helped Democrat Jon Tester win by 3,562 votes. That fateful decision cemented Democrat's one-seat Senate majority and that's why your help is so important now. Helping the DSCC beat its second quarter fundraising deadline ensures our Democratic candidates will have everything and anything they need to win on Election Day.

The elections that will take place in five short months will be our chance, a rare and historic opportunity to build a Democratic coalition that can truly create a more inclusive, prosperous and just America. The only way to win is if we all come together to build a massive wave of Democratic activists that will sweep our way to victory.
We have no time to waste.
Sincerely, 
John Edwards
