Drumbeat

10/26/2010 Nativegrl77

Today is a critical day for our fight for America’s future — one week from today, the American people will go to the polls. And tonight at Midnight, the money we have in the bank will determine what last-minute television advertising we can send back out to races for the final week and just how strong our ground game will be.

The Republicans believe you have already given up. They believe that the special interests, with their millions of dollars in secret money, have already drowned out your voices. We have proven them wrong before, and we will prove them wrong this time.

But we need you in this fight. Dozens of Democrats are locked in too-close-to-call races. Our success literally depends on being able to urgently wire funds to these too close-to-call races tomorrow. We are just $51,294 away from our one-week out goal.

Please contribute $5, $10 or more before Midnight Tonight so we may wire these final funds to our Democrats under attack by the special interests and ensure that they can get every Democratic voter to the polls on Tuesday. Your gift will be matched 2-to-1 by a group of House Democrats.

The stakes could not be higher. Democrats want to preserve Social Security and Medicare. Republicans want to privatize Social Security and cut Medicare.

Democrats want you to make it in America. Republicans want to send your job overseas. Democrats are fighting for the middle class of our country. Republicans are the hand maidens of the privileged few.

We cannot let the special interests drown out the voices of the American people.

We will win because grassroots Democrats like you have created a drumbeat across America for change. Every dollar you contribute brings us closer to a strong Democratic House Majority.

Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House

P.S. There is no doubt that we will succeed, but we need to raise $51,294 before Midnight Tonight to support our voter turnout activities in this final week. Every dollar you contribute brings us closer to victory. Please contribute before Midnight Tonight.

Voting is important. But somehow this year it doesn’t feel as important as it did in 2008, right?

WRONG!

Here’s a message from the future about what will happen if you and your friends don’t vote on November 2 (hint: it’s not pretty).

You’re actually in this video message—so we wanted to make sure you saw it.

Thanks for all you do.

Center for Public Integrity: Scores of Recovery Act opponents sought money out of public view (via Anderson Cooper 360)

10/24/2010 Nativegrl77

The Center for Public Integrity Rep. Pete Sessions, the firebrand conservative from Dallas, Texas, has relentlessly assailed the Democratic-passed stimulus law as a wasteful “trillion dollar spending spree” that was “more about stimulating the government and rewarding political allies than growing the economy and creating jobs.” But that didn’t stop the Republican lawmaker from reaching his hand out behind the scenes to seek stimulus money for th … Read More

Patty Murray -Washington State thanks you …VoTE PMurray Nov.2

10/24/2010 Nativegrl77

Yesterday, President Barack Obama joined me out on the campaign trail in Seattle.

I’m grateful that President Obama came to Washington state to show his support for our campaign and help us reach thousands of voters. I wish all of my friends and supporters like you could have been at the big campaign rally we had on the campus of the University of Washington.

It was quite a day! If you weren’t able to join us in person, I hope you’ll check out this video clip of the President’s visit:

While here, President Obama talked about everything that we’re doing to create jobs and fight for hard-working families across our state and across the country.

He also laid out in very clear terms the stakes in this election: whether we’re going to continue to fight for the changes we need to make to get our country back on track, or whether we’ll let our opponents — fueled by tens of millions of dollars from shadowy corporate and right-wing groups — try to buy this election and move us back to the failed policies of the past.

I’m running for re-election to the U.S. Senate because I want to continue to be your voice in Washington, DC — to wake up every day and do everything I can to help people and solve problems.

But I need your help to do that. Please click here to watch the video, sign up to volunteer for our campaign!

I’d like to thank President Obama for joining me here in Washington state to help us get our message out -– and I’d like to thank you for your continued support.

Let’s keep fighting hard over these last 11 days for a huge victory on Election Day!

Thank you so much,

Patty Murray
U.S. Senator

P.S. If you have friends or family who may be interested to hear about President Obama’s visit, or learn more about what’s at stake in this election, I hope you’ll forward this email along or click here to share on Facebook. Thanks.
