Dear Ralph,

Ted Cruz and Tea Party Republicans in Congress played a dangerous political game with the American economy by shutting down the government. They selfishly and callously put partisanship over people.

Their selfishness was a disaster to our economy and for middle class families. Our economy lost about $24 billion and our unemployment rate ticked higher. In the end, middle class families in South Florida and across the country were the ones who got hurt.

Debbie works tirelessly, day in and day out, to stop this kind of thing from happening. And because of her efforts, Washington Republicans attack her with robocalls.

Debbie needs us standing with her. The best way to do that is to help her hit the $15,000 November grassroots goal. Can you pitch in $5 or more to help?

I know my wife — no matter what attacks the Republicans throw at her, no matter how many opponents turn up in this race, and no matter how much they spend to defeat her, she’ll never waiver and will stay focused on fighting for the families she represents.

It’s up to us to make sure she has the resources she needs to fight back against attacks like the one that came from the Republican National Committee (RNC) during the shutdown.

Let’s make sure our grassroots efforts continue growing. Contribute $5 or more toward Debbie’s $15,000 November goal.

Thank you for having Debbie’s back.

Steve
