Last night I saw a truly disgusting ad agains Kay Hagan.....just unbelievable!!

Americans for Prosperity has already spent $7 million on ads against Kay Hagan. I wonder how many people who saw that ad will say, "We have to get rid of her"? What has this country come to that these nasty ads are the norm?

I don't know how poor Kay Hagan can overcome this onslaught.

Just got this from Hagan this morning:



A group whose purpose seems to be privatizing Social Security has launched a more than $200,000 attack against me in North Carolina.

They’re called the 60+ Association, and they’ve got ties to -- wait for it -- the billionaire Koch brothers.

I would not allow Social Security to be privatized. You know that. But the 60+ Association (and the Koch brothers) know that, too -- which is why they’ve launched this new attack that has been called false in fact checks.

And that's why we need to redouble our efforts to fight back. We need $120,000 in April to stay on target. Contribute $5 or more to help.

Outside interests have spent more than $10 million in North Carolina, attacking me and propping up my opponents.

Privatizing Social Security is one big piece of the out-of-touch Koch agenda. And this new ad is just the latest in a long string of attacks against me.

I rely on your support to fight back. We did a fantastic job in March. Let’s make April even bigger.

Give $5, or whatever makes sense for you, toward our $120,000 April goal.

Thank you.

Kay

Though I know many can't afford even that much these days (and the Kochs and their friends have conspired to ensure this). I can't afford but $5 or $10 here or there but send what I can when I can.

Not that we can compete with the Koch bastards, ALEC et al, but every dollar helps.

false. I don't mean subjectively false, or misleading, or full of omissions. It was completely opposite the truth! The only thing true in it was the fact that NC has a senator named Kay Hagan.
