RE: Urgent MA Senate Race Update

DATE: January 10, 2010

Many thanks for all you have done to support Marthas senate campaign. I have someurgent statistics I want to share with you regarding this race we need your help

more than ever and we are asking you to support our efforts now.

The American Future Fund, a conservative organization whose leaders helpedproduce the Willie Horton advertisement used against Governor Dukakis and theSwift Boat ad used against Senator Kerry have funded over $400,000 worth ofairtime to bolster Scott Browns media presence.

We have learned that other right wing groups, the Club for Growth and the UnitedStates Chamber of Commerce, are considering running negative advertisements

and making investments of potentially over $1,000,000. Over the last five days, three public polls have been released that have had

conflicting results. Last evening, Public Policy Polling released a poll showingScott Brown ahead of Martha by 1 point. The Boston Globe poll released thismorning has Martha 15 points ahead. Earlier this week, Rasmussen released apoll showing Martha 9 points ahead. Our internal polling shows the race to bea very tight race that means we must do everything we can to ensure we are

victorious.

This additional assistance being spent on Browns behalf seems to be working. Pollingshows that Republican voters are more energized than Democrats and that we are having

trouble moving Independents. In the next seven days we have to ensure that we have theresources to call and talk face to face with our target demographics and convince themthat Martha Coakley is the candidate to continue the legacy of Senator Ted Kennedy. Wewill also have to run an aggressive get out the vote program to make sure our voters go tothe polls on Election Day. And to combat the negative attacks on the airwaves, we needto redouble our fundraising in order to respond these ads.

To win this race, we have adopted a very aggressive television advertising schedule nextweek. Here is how you can help:

If you havent already please max out to the general election. The limit for the

general election is $2,400. If you have the capacity please consider contributing to the Massachusetts

Democratic Party Federal Account. The limit for that account per individual is$10,000 per calendar year.

If there is anyone else that you can talk to family, friends, colleagues and neighbors we need these contributions more than ever.
