Dear MoveOn member,

In 11 days, we could lose progressive hero Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat-and with it, any hope for passing major progressive legislation this year.

A new poll Tuesday showed Democrat Martha Coakley’s lead in the special election to succeed Kennedy is at the edge of the margin of error, and the non-partisan Cook Political Report now says it’s very competitive.1 And today, some of the people behind the infamous Swift Boat and racist Willie Horton ads are spending $400,000 on a new attack ad. Republican Scott Brown and his extreme right-wing supporters are significantly outspending Coakley on TV.2

A Republican victory here would be a catastrophe-Democrats would lose their 60th vote in the Senate, health care could die, and the Republicans could block pretty much anything they want.

We can’t let a right-winger take over Ted Kennedy’s seat because not enough progressives are paying attention.

Didn’t they announce conservatism dead? Haven’t they been harping about how America has now come together and they rule the roost?

I kind of enjoy seeing so much worry and sweat from the left over a single election.

If they are worried now, wait and see how they act this coming November as they see how America rejects their “rush to socialism.”
