I just got off the phone getting an update from Democratic Headquarters about how things are looking out there.

They told me early voting is going better than expected in several states and that the poll numbers are tight but showing us up in dozens of toss-ups. Then they said — they need cash.

We’re now just hours away from our last shot to wire money to our campaigns for their get-out-the-vote blitz this weekend.

We can’t leave any votes on the table because a campaign doesn’t have the cash to rent a van or pay for gas to get folks to the polls. The DCCC must have $28,949 more in the bank by the 5pm wire deadline today to get enough Democrats to the polls in races where Democrats are ahead, but just barely.

Contribute $5, $10 or more by the 5pm wire deadline today to support this weekend’s make-or-break voter turnout activity in districts where Democrats are on the cusp of victory.

We’re talking about literally keeping the lights on in campaign headquarters out there. They want to support even more Democrats running against Republican extremists but they can’t unless they get money in the door by the 5pm wire deadline.

You know these extreme tea party nut cases that Sarah Palin is trying to put in Congress aren’t going down without a fight. Neither can we.

After this election is over, what will you tell your kids and your grandkids that you did to keep Sarah Palin’s favorite extremists out of Congress?

Contribute before 5pm today.

Ann Kuster and 95 Dems -- Net Neutrality protectors

Hi! This is Ann McLane Kuster, Democratic candidate for Congress in New Hampshire. I have two exciting pieces of news to report.

First, RealClearPolitics just upgraded our race from “toss up” to “leans Democrat” — thanks to the strong people-powered campaign we’re running, in which so many PCCC members have played a role.

Second, I’m proud to announce that 95 Democratic candidates are uniting to protect the biggest driver of people power in our democracy: the Internet. We’re promising to protect Net Neutrality — the First Amendment of the Internet — from recent attacks by big corporations.

The media are already reporting on this news today. Can you show everyone that Internet freedom is important to voters by being a “citizen signer” of our joint Net Neutrality statement? Click here to see it and sign.

(Please also donate to help pro-Net Neutrality candidates win next week. Chip in $3 here.)

Let me tell you how protecting Net Neutrality affects voters and jobs here in New Hampshire.

Phone and cable companies want to put tollbooths on the Internet — forcing businesses, organizations, and individuals to pay extra for their websites to open quickly on people’s computers.

Big corporations like Exxon Mobil could afford this cost. But small businesses, economic innovators, independent media, and grassroots groups could not. Losing Net Neutrality would stifle free speech, innovation, and jobs.

Especially in the “Live Free or Die” state, hurting Internet freedom by putting new tollbooths on the Internet is a non-starter. And across the nation, Democratic candidates agree.

Please show everyone that voters support pro-Net Neutrality candidates by being a “citizen signer” of our joint statement? Click here to see it and sign.

(And please donate $3 to help pro-Net Neutrality candidates win.)

Thanks so much — especially to the thousands of PCCC members who have used the Internet to make small-dollar donations to my campaign and make calls reminding people to vote.

Together, we’ll win next Tuesday, and fight together in the future.
