OSBORN FOR SENATE

A Request

Combined with thousands of other grassroots donors chipping in, your $1 has enormous impact.

Ad copy

Hey everybody. Dan Osborn here, running for U.S. Senate in the great state of Nebraska. I got a request for you today, and that's to donate $1 to my campaign. That's right. Just 100 pennies. Let me tell you why: I'm running against Republican Senator Pete Ricketts, who's a billionaire and who's made a political career by lying. And now, Ricketts is lying about me. But I wake up every day, and my campaign team wakes up every day, feeling powered by the people. Small-dollar donations are what drive this campaign. They're what is going to get us across the finish line to win this Senate race. They're what's going to show the people of Nebraska and the people of this country what our politics should be: A government by and for the people. We don't take corporate money. We don't take special interest lobbyist money. So although $1 does seem a little bit silly and like not very much, it really truly does help. Please, will you chip in $1 monthly right now to our campaign – more if you can afford to! – to help me defeat Republican Pete Ricketts and win Nebraska’s Senate seat?
