Last week, Gordon Smith let it be known that he doesn’t want to face me in the general election this fall. He launched a new false television ad attacking only me. He is now doing everything he can to try and swing this race to my opponent. We’ve known that Gordon Smith is willing to do and say anything to protect his power and stop us from changing Washington D.C. Now, he’s trying to manipulate this primary election to keep from having a strong challenge in the fall. He knows that 2008 represents our last, good chance to defeat him and elect a Senator who works with Ron Wyden and not with George Bush and the powerful special interests. I’ve promised to bring dramatic change to Washington D.C. by bringing Democrats together to work with our new President. But Gordon Smith knows I’m the only Democrat who can defeat him this fall. So today, I’m asking you to help me stand up to Gordon Smith and the Republican attack machine by making one more contribution to my campaign. The recent polls have clearly shown that our message of bringing Democrats together to make change is breaking through. Our campaign has seized the momentum and we are on the way to victory as long as we can keep our message of change on the air, in the mailboxes, on the phones and at the doorsteps. You can watch my television ads here: http://www.jeffmerkley.com/. Every dollar you contribute will go directly to keeping these spots on the air. By making one last contribution we can continue to talk with Democrats about the issues that matter most in this year of historic change:
