Osborn for Senate

Please give me a moment to explain

Can I please explain?

Let me explain. Please.

Give now to defeat GOP Senator Deb Fischer and win this seat >>

Will you chip in now to help Dan Osborn defeat GOP Senator Deb Fischer?

When Dan wins and becomes the critical 51st vote in the Senate, it will be because you gave what you could now.

Our fundraising deadline is just days away, and we’re still short of our goal and what we need to flip this seat.

I’m not taking money from corporate PACs, so I have nowhere else to turn.

The latest poll shows I am 2 points AHEAD of my opponent, Republican Senator Deb Fischer.

People like me aren’t supposed to be able to run for office – let alone U.S. Senate – and we certainly aren’t supposed to win…

Ad copy

In a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a donation to my campaign for U.S. Senate against Republican Deb Fischer here in Nebraska. But before I do, please let me explain why your donation today is so important. I’m not rich. I’m not a politician. I’m a blue collar guy who was president of my local union until I was fired for leading a strike. People like me aren’t supposed to be able to run for office – let alone U.S. Senate – and we certainly aren’t supposed to be able to win… But the latest poll shows I am 2 points AHEAD of my opponent, Republican Senator Deb Fischer. Just 24% of voters approve of the job she’s doing in Washington! In the Senate, I’ll be the 51st vote against a complete national abortion ban, the 51st vote to stop the corruption and get money out of politics, and the 51st vote to stand up against the billionaires and corporations who have been screwing over working people like me for decades. And that’s exactly why the Super PACs are about to come after me with everything they’ve got to stop us from flipping this seat. We need to raise $50,000 before our next fundraising deadline if we’re going to be able to fight back against the lies and win – but right now, we’re still extremely short with just days to go. I’m not taking money from corporate PACs, so I have nowhere else to turn: Please, will you make a donation to my campaign right now to help me defeat Republican Senator Deb Fischer and flip this seat in November?

I know what it’s like to work a 90-hour workweek. I know the value of a dollar. So I truly appreciate any amount you can afford to give today. Thank you – from the bottom of my heart, Dan Osborn
