Dear 
 You and I both know we live in a "blue" state - a state that tends to vote for Democratic candidates. 
 But now Republicans have taken a desperate step by adding Paul Ryan to their ticket. They are hoping to increase right-wing voter turnout for a lackluster, flip-flopping presidential candidate. 
 The choice of Paul Ryan will affect crucial, closely contested campaigns in Washington State. Can you donate $X and help keep Washington blue? [url] 
 Let me explain the challenge we face. This year our state has been "downgraded" from a blue state to a "leaning blue" state by national commentators. 
 We have critical races with several significant national races and two crucial statewide contests: 
The re-election of President Obama A United States Senate seat Senator Cantwell  An open governor's seat Jay Inslee  Three open congressional seats 1st, 6th, and the new 10th  An open race for Attorney General Bob Ferguson 
 Don't let Republicans get away with their desperate campaign tactic! 
 Please donate $X today so that we can fight these guys in the campaign trenches with our own grassroots voter contact and voter turnout programs:

 We've carefully built our grassroots voter contact and voter turnout programs during the summer months. But they must be fully funded in order to continue at full strength over the next 75 days. 
 We cannot take anything for granted - Our state is up for grabs and the Republicans know it. It is essential that we keep Washington blue, reject Rob McKenna, and elect Jay Inslee as our new governor. 
 Don't let Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and Rob McKenna bring their risky ideas and budget plans to Washington State. 
 Your individual donation is critical to the success of our grassroots campaign effort [url] . [url] 
 Thank you for your support. 
 Sincerely, 
 Jaxon Ravens Executive Director Washington State Democrats
