Final Countdown …a message from Jon Vogel


I just want to say thank you. We reached President Obama’s goal of $1 million in time for our final week’s advertising buy expanding into even more districts and giving our Democratic campaigns much-needed air cover.

Now, we turn our focus to our Get Out the Vote operation, because with so many Democrats locked in too-close-to-call races, it will all come down to turnout.

Here’s the latest: Our targeting director has been running new models based on early voting returns. We figure there are an additional half-dozen toss-up districts where an influx of resources could drive our Democratic candidate over the top.

But, we just sent all the money we had to expand television advertising. And now, in order to expand field, we will need to raise $200,000 by tomorrow’s wire deadline so we can transfer money to these campaigns in advance of their final weekend push.

Can you make a generous contribution before tomorrow’s wire deadline so I can transfer money to these campaigns in advance of their final weekend push?

Thank you again for all you have done so far — we will retain our House Majority if I have you in this game.

It’s time to go all in, and rest assured your dollars are being put to work immediately.

Jon Vogel
DCCC Executive Director

Two years ago, you joined millions of Americans to assemble a grassroots movement to move this county forward.

Even though we’ve made extraordinary progress, entrenched power concedes nothing without a fight. Thanks to a Supreme Court decision called Citizens United, the very same special interests that we are finally holding accountable are now spending unlimited amounts of money on political attack ads to try and take our country back.

That’s why we’ve got to fight their millions of dollars with millions of grassroots supporters who are ready to finish what we began in 2008.

Right now, my Democratic allies in the House are preparing for the final days of this campaign. Your support to help them raise $1 million before Tuesday will determine how many doors they can knock on, how many phones they can dial, and how many Democratic voters they can get to the polls.

Contribute before Tuesday’s deadline to fund our final get-out-the-vote efforts on behalf of my great Democratic partners in the House. Your support will be matched by a group of generous Democrats.

My partners in the House led by our remarkable Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have done extraordinary work to get our economy back on track and clean up the mess left over by the other side.

But rather than remind ourselves of all that we have accomplished, now is the time to recognize all of the things that will remain undone unless we are just as focused, just as energized, and just as excited as we were in 2008. That is what will make the difference in the days ahead.

Contribute before Tuesday’s deadline to fund our final get-out-the-vote efforts on behalf of my great Democratic partners in the House. Your support will be matched by a group of generous Democrats.

If you can dig a little deeper, knock on a few more doors, talk to a few more of your friends and neighbors, we will be successful in this election and continue working to reclaim the American Dream for the next generation.

I am grateful for all that you’ve done already in this election. But now I need you to do a little more. When polls close on Election Night, we cannot have a single regret, not when the stakes are this high.

Last night, my opponent’s latest gaffe was the lead story on the Colbert Report — a marked contrast to his routine appearances on Fox where he is the subject of fawning adoration and infomercial-like fundraising appeals.

Deadly outbreak in Haiti: please help now


Emergency Alert  

Help save lives in Haiti and around the world. -- Donate now  

Facebook Twitter Foward to a friend

Disaster has hit Haitians again. As of today, 262 people have died from a cholera outbreak in the Artibonite and Centre regions of Haiti and nearly 3,800 cases have been confirmed.

Highly contagious and spread by water, cholera can cause dehydration and death within hours, especially for children, if not treated. In response, CARE is amassing cholera prevention and treatment supplies to help avert an catastrophe should the disease spread. We’re especially concerned about a possible outbreak in Port-au-Prince.

An outbreak in the capital city’s extremely crowded and unsanitary tent camps, where 1 million survivors of the January 12 earthquake now live, would be devastating. The rainy season is underway and flooding, coupled with unsafe water conditions, can worsen the crisis. Prevention is critical.

Hundreds of thousands are at risk. When you make a tax-deductible gift today, you can help CARE save lives in Haiti and respond to crisis and extreme poverty around the world.

Since the earthquake struck on January 12, CARE has been tirelessly working to help Haiti recover, including building durable shelters for families; constructing latrines, showers and hand-washing facilities; making sure clean water is available; and promoting good health and hygiene through awareness campaigns, community trainings and more.

As you know, our poverty-fighting work doesn’t stop in Haiti. Every single day of the year, in Haiti and 71 other countries worldwide, CARE provides emergency relief and delivers comprehensive programs that strike at the root causes of poverty.

Please make a tax-deductible gift today so that CARE can continue empowering people facing extreme poverty and crisis around the world.

  • $35 can help provide a hygiene kit to a family in Haiti
  • $100 can help provide clean delivery kits to 35 pregnant women in Haiti
  • $250 can help provide clean drinking water for 25,000 daily in Haiti

Please don’t wait another day to make a difference! A brighter, healthier future is possible with the help of friends like you.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Sincerely,

Helene D. Gayle, MD, MPH
President and CEO, CARE
