Drumbeat


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.

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.

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.

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.

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


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
