Support Alan Khazei

My good friend Alan Khazei, who is running for Senate in MA, needs our support.  I just spoke with him today and the next filing deadline is tomorrow at midnight.  I just donated $500 at: www.alankhazei.com/contribute.  Here's an email from Richard Barth and Wendy Kopp:

I am writing to you this morning with a very special favor to ask.  As you know, Wendy and I have supported two candidates for federal election in the past 20 years.  One is Michael Bennet, other is Alan Khazei. 

A good number of you supported Alan' s first campaign for public office, when he ran for the Massachusetts Senate seat two years ago in the special election.   Alan proved himself to be a terrific campaigner and earned the endorsement of the Boston Globe in the process of running a 90-day sprint to election day.

 

Two years later, with all the experience of his first campaign to draw upon, Alan is running again.   And I am asking you to join me in supporting him.  While I believed it was so important to have people like Alan serve in the US Senate two years ago, the past 24 months have only confirmed that Alan is the kind of leader we need at this time in our country's history.  At a time when the public's faith in Congress is at an all-time low and a toxic environment has made it all but impossible to get important work done, Alan is a person who we know can reach across partisan lines and build coalitions to get things done.   Alan is a pro-business, pro-growth Democrat who understands that in a moment like the one we are in,  we must insist that our elected leaders work together to craft solutions to the immense challenges we face.  Alan will bring boundless optimism and passion for our country that is truly extraordinary.   And Alan is not beholden to ANY special interests as he takes absolutely no PAC money.  Not one cent. 

 

This next week is a critical week for Alan.  It is the final week of the filing period.   Alan had a terrific first quarter in which he raised $935,745, and we are looking to close strong in quarter #2.    So…

 

If you believe we need a leader in the Senate who can work in a bi-partisan way to get things done…

If you believe we need a leader in the Senate who is pro-Business…and understands that job creation must be our first, second and third priority…

If you believe we need a leader in the Senate who is always committed to doing what is right for the most vulnerable in our society, and understands the role that high performing public schools can play in providing transformational opportunities for children growing up in poverty....

And if you believe it is not too much to ask for a leader in the Senate who is all of the above, and whose independence of thought is not compromised by the influence of special interest money..then please make a contribution to Alan's campaign in the next 7 days.

 

It's easy.  Just go on-line and contribute at www.alankhazei.com/contribute.
