The following sponsored email was sent to you by AlterNet on behalf of Tammy Duckworth for Senate: 

Dear Friend,

Last week, Donald Trump accepted his nomination at the Republican National Convention. This is a critical moment to stop Trump. Not only must we work to keep him out of the White House, but we also need to build a firewall in the U.S. Senate to stop his agenda.

Illinois is where to start to take back the Democratic majority in the Senate. The Washington Post has called Illinois the "#1 most competitive Senate race in 2016". This race is Democrats' best chance in the country to turn a Republican Senate seat blue in November.

Will you add your name to help Tammy Duckworth defeat Mark Kirk, the most vulnerable GOP senator and put Democrats on the path toward turning the Senate blue?

Middle-class families need a leader like Tammy Duckworth in the Senate who will fight for people like them and speak out against Donald Trump’s fearmongering.

Tammy will stand up for working families and won't be beholden to corporate interests and billionaires. She'll fight to help our students by making college more affordable. Tammy is a Veteran who is dedicated to protecting the honor of those who sacrifice for our country every day.

Tammy Duckworth will help build a Democratic firewall against Trump in the Senate come November. But she needs your support in order to do so.

Join our grassroots campaign to help Tammy defeat Republican incumbent Mark Kirk and turn the Senate blue. Add your name to stand with her.

Thank you for helping Tammy take back the Democratic Senate majority,

Team Duckworth
