This from Byron via Heidi's list

Heidi and her opponent are still locked in a dead heat. But I think Heidi’s about to break free.

I can hear it when we talk on the phone—an increased confidence and optimism. I can see it on the campaign trail, with the crowds responding to Heidi’s energy and ideas. Most of all, I can feel the enthusiasm among her grassroots supporters like you.

Heidi wouldn’t be here without you. But she needs your continued support to make it to the Senate.

With just 29 days until early voting starts, Heidi has to get her message out—with TV ads, fliers, door-to-door contact. Whatever it takes. Right now she needs just $26,876 more to make her goal before midnight tomorrow.

This election is too important to North Dakota—to the entire country—to sit it out.

Make your donation right now and help Heidi make her goal of raising $72,680 before midnight tomorrow. The only way she can win this tight race is with your immediate help.

The closer we get to Election Day, the worse the attacks are going to get. Already, the Republicans are going after Heidi with unfair, untrue ads. That’s because they’ve targeted her as one of their best routes to a majority in the Senate.

Heidi’s been vigilant about never letting an attack go unanswered, but she’s going to need more resources to keep it up.

We’ve got to stand by her in this fight, because as much as she needs us, we need her.

Heidi is so close to reaching her end-of-month goal—just $26,876 away. A small donation of $5 right now will help her reach her goal and come out on top. Can I tell Heidi she can count on you for a contribution today?

Click here to make a donation to Heidi’s campaign and help her reach this critical goal just two months before Election Day. This next phase of the campaign couldn’t be more important.

No question about it, this race has been a real nail-biter. But with your help, Heidi can finally emerge as the frontrunner.

Thanks for everything,

U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan
