5849376 -- If you thought the Tea Party House of Representatives was extreme before - just wait. The Tea Party's stunning primary defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on Tuesday is emboldening the most radical elements of the right-wing in Congress to make a play for Cantor's leadership position, or even to oust top Republican, Speaker John Boehner.1 That could put an even more radical Tea Party Republican in command of the House, and third in line to succeed the president! Can you imagine what would happen if Tea Party Republicans also succeed in seizing our Senate firewall in 2014? Stopping a Tea Party Republican takeover of the Senate just got even more important. Chip in now to make sure we can hold the line.

Cantor was a hard-line conservative. But that wasn't enough for a Tea Party hell-bent on pushing the boundaries of the far right. There's no telling how much further the House could go in its radical attacks on women, vital social programs, the environment and our health. The best shot we have of making sure these attacks never make it to the president's desk is by stopping a Tea Party Republican takeover of the Senate majority. CREDO SuperPAC is building a grassroots voter contact effort in five states to stop Republicans from winning a majority in the Senate. If a Tea Party candidate can defeat the House Majority Leader on a budget of $200,000 and a grassroots revolt, we can do the same by going after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and four other Republicans running for Senate. The stakes have been raised. We beat five Tea Party Republicans in 2012. And we can do it again in 2014 with your help. Help build a grassroots campaign to hold the line against radical Republicans in the House.

Thanks for all you do, Becky Bond, President CREDO SuperPAC
