Received this e-mail today from the Working Families Party in support of U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren’s (D. MA) presidential campaign:
Here’s the situation: The Las Vegas debate is tonight. Nevada is holding its caucuses on Saturday. And after that, we have crucial elections in big states like South Carolina, Texas, California, and Elizabeth’s home state of Massachusetts.
Here’s the good news: Elizabeth is in second place according to the most recent Nevada polls. She’s picking up key endorsement after key endorsement. And thanks to the support of people like you, has built a formidable organizing program that has the power to compete in every state.
Here’s the bad news: Despite being in third in total pledged delegates, a lot of pundits are counting us out, and it’s affecting the media coverage we’re getting. Just yesterday, NBC released a poll that even excluded Elizabeth as an option on some of the questions. It’s utterly ridiculous.
Here’s the solution: Tune. Out. The. Noise. CNN commentators and Twitter doesn’t win elections. Grassroots power does. And Elizabeth has set a goal to raise $7 million before the caucuses on Saturday in order to keep her organizing program rolling full steam ahead. Can you help?
Split a donation today to help expand our organizing work, hit Elizabeth’s new fundraising goal, and build a campaign that can — and will — compete everywhere.
This primary isn’t even close to being over. Elizabeth is in a strong position thanks to you. But we need to keep that tempo up in order to win, especially with the field as volatile as it is.
Thanks for all that you do to support Elizabeth and our broader WFP movement. We couldn’t do it without you.
In solidarity,
Working Families Party

Also, I just received this from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee:
The Nation reports that Elizabeth Warren is being "virtually erased" from media coverage -- despite having won the 3rd most delegates so far.
With critical primaries and caucuses around the corner -- and 98% of the delegates still remaining -- that cannot continue at tonight's Democratic debate in Las Vegas.
Can you Tweet right now at the moderators of tonight's debate and insist that Warren get questions and airtime?
Click here to Tweet: At tonight's #DemDebate, there must be #NoErasure of @EWarren. Ask her questions and give her airtime! @LesterHoltNBC, @ChuckTodd, @HallieJackson, @VanessaHuac, @RalstonReports
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
