| Dear MOHIUDDIN,  | I believe Barack Obama is the leader that we need to move this country forward. But his ability to make progress will depend on whether we can change a Senate that has become an agent of obstruction.
On every issue of national importance -- from the physical security of our children, to the retirement security of our parents, to the economic and health security of our families, to our national security -- the United States Senate we elect this November will play a critical role.
Will the next Senate stand for progress, or stand in its way? The answer is up to you. In this Congress, Republicans have filibustered over 70 times - a record-breaking measure of obstruction unmatched in the history of the United States.
With at least 11 Senate seats in play, we have the potential to build an obstruction-proof Democratic majority. That's why I'm asking you to join me by midnight tonight in supporting the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee (DSCC), so they can meet their quarterly fundraising goal.
We're just $43,911 short of our $2.25 million quarterly fundraising goal. Click here to make a contribution of $50, $75 or more to help the DSCC meet its quarterly goal and put us one step closer to a gridlock-proof Democratic Senate majority.
Together, with your friends, neighbors, and tens of thousands of like-minded Democrats across the country, we can give the DSCC support they need to give our country the Senate we need. A Senate that will allow Barack Obama to be the agent of change we know he can be, that will keep the concerns of hard-pressed families always on its agenda, and that will help America regain its rightful place of leadership in the world.
Your donation could be the one that allows us to drive one more voter to the polls, or make sure one more undecided voter gets a key piece of literature, or a timely phone call, or make sure that one more false attack gets immediately answered. And we know that sometimes, a handful of votes is all it takes.
The DSCC is just $43,911 away from its goal of $2.25 million. If you give by midnight tonight, a group of Democratic senators will triple your donation.
Click here to make a contribution of $50, $75 or more to help the DSCC meet its quarterly goal and put us one step closer to a gridlock-proof Democratic Senate majority. Give now and a group of Democratic senators will match every dollar you give, effectively tripling your contribution.
After eight years of the Bush administration, our country is less secure and more isolated than it has been at any time in recent history. Republican policies have dug America into a very deep hole - with very few friends to help us climb out.
It doesn't have to be this way. Our next president (and we're all working to make sure that's Barack Obama) will have an awesome responsibility - but also the greatest opportunity since FDR - to change the direction of our country and the world.
I've served in the United States Senate for over 35 years. I know that opportunities like the one we have this year to create a gridlock-proof Democratic majority don't come around too often. We can't let this opportunity pass us by.
Please give now, 
Joe Biden
