Everything we’ve worked for is on the line….contribute before midnight Saturday
In just a few hours I need to wire to the field the money for our massive Get Out The Vote push this weekend.
The math is simple: This election will come down to who turns out. And, our voter turnout operations are second to none. But, the number of voters I can get to the polls depends upon how much money I can wire tonight. And that depends entirely on you.
We need $100,000 for tonight’s wire transfer. There is no tomorrow. I’m counting on your support today.
Our Democratic challengers are surging against their Republican opponents. And our incumbents are holding off fierce attacks from extreme tea party Republican challengers.
In Massachusetts‘ 10th district, our Democratic candidate Bill Keating is ahead by just four points. Like so many Republican candidates, his opponent, Jeff Perry, is completely unfit for office. While working as a police officer, Republican Perry stood by while a 14-year old girl was illegally strip searched by another officer.
We simply cannot let people like Perry win on Tuesday.
Everything we’ve worked for is on the line. You helped elect the first female Speaker of the House. You helped put President Obama in the White House. But, we risk it all if we don’t hold our majority on Tuesday.
If you’ve already contributed to the campaign, I need you to make another generous contribution. If you haven’t contributed yet, now is not the time to sit on the sidelines. Contribute Today.
Onward to Victory,
Jon Vogel
DCCC Executive Director

Hey –
What do you think will happen this Election Day?
Will Democrats lose control of the house? Will Prop 19 pass in California?
As the polling numbers and pundits offer competing predictions for this year’s midterm elections, Firedoglake is helping our activists throw their own bets into the ring. That’s why we’re proud to announce FDL’s 2010 Election Projection Challenge — your chance to prove everyone else wrong!
Click here to place your bets!
To win, all you need to do is guess the following outcomes:
- How many House seats will Democrats hold in the 112th Congress?
- How many Senate seats will Democrats hold in the 112th Congress?
- Will Prop 19 pass?
- What will the final percentage be for “Yes” on Prop 19?
You can even vote multiple times, but your last vote will be the only one counted in the end. The contest will end before polls close on Tuesday, November 2nd.
First prize gets a DVD of the documentary film Emperor of Hemp and a $50 gift certificate to the Just Say Now store. Second and Third prizes can choose between an autographed copy of Matt Taibbi’s new book, Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America or an autographed copy of Arianna Huffington’s new book, Third World America.

a message from Speaker Pelosi
Moments ago, I was briefed by our DCCC strategists on our final Election Day projections.
Your investments are paying off: we are seeing Democrats surging in key races and great early vote numbers. Several new key opportunities have opened up, but there are many races that are still too close to call.
We must stand united in these final critical hours if we don’t want to see what we have worked so hard for come undone. It will all come down to voter turnout.
Quite simply, we will win as many races as we can afford to send get-out-the-vote resources to this final make-or-break weekend. We must have $100,000 more in the bank by 5pm today to wire the funds in time. Time is running out; I need your support now more than ever.
Years from now, what will you tell your children about this historic election?
Will you say that you sat on the sidelines in the final days and watched the special interests with their secret money hostilely take over our democracy? Or will you tell them that you were part of the team that proved the pundits wrong and won another grassroots victory for Democrats on behalf of America’s middle class?
That story will be written in this weekend.
Please help us raise $100,000 more by 5pm today so we can wire resources to our campaigns for this final, make or break weekend.
Onward to victory.
Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House
