Election3
RETAKE THE SENATE TO REPEAL OBAMACARE

By @iResistAll - Source: PAT DOLLARD
In order to repeal Obamacare, we need a Republican majority in the Senate. The Senate currently has 53 Democrats, and 47 Republicans. Republicans must hold all of their Senate seats, PLUS pick up four more. According to Real Clear Politics, there are currently eight toss up seats for U.S. Senate. Two of those  are currently held by Republicans. Below are the eight toss up Senate seats with links to contribute, volunteer, and to each candidate’s Twitter accounts. Please consider contributing so that we can retake the Senate and Repeal Obamacare. If Mitt Romney wins the presidency, he Cannot repeal Obamacare without a Republican controlled Senate. It is Imperative that we gain at Least four U.S. Senate seats. 

You can also contribute to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The NRSC is "the only political committee solely dedicated to electing Republicans to the U.S. Senate." To contribute, visit 
www.nrsc.org.

I have listed the Senate races by order of polling data. The races that are the tightest are at the top. (RCP = Real Clear Politics) See toss up polls at

Missouri US Senate Election 2012 – Must Win

The GOP primary will take place on August 7th. There are three Republicans vying to challenge McCaskill. Running are former state treasurer and state senator, Sarah Steelman, U.S. Representative Todd Akin, and businessman John Brunner. According to the latest polls, Steelman has the biggest lead over McCaskill. It would probably be best to go with the strongest challenger to McCaskill.
