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.

Contribute $5, $10 or more right now to help us make this weekend’s Get Out The Vote effort the key to victory in too-close-to-call House races.

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.

Contribute $5, $10 or more right now to help us make this weekend’s Get Out The Vote effort the key to victory in too-close-to-call House races.

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,

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.

Please contribute $5, $10 or more today to support voter contact activity that will be the difference between victory and defeat for Democrats in too-close-to-call races.

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.

But we can’t let up now.

There are campaign offices out there that need to add extra phone lines because they’re packed with volunteers ready to make calls. There are volunteers ready to go canvass, but they need flyers to go door to door. There are kids on college campuses working to get their classmates to vote, and they need our help, too.

I don’t want to let any of them down — not now, not when we’re so close.

So I need you to join another supporter and commit to this work, together.

Please donate $3 or more today:

Thanks for all you do,

Joe Biden
Midnight tomorrow is the deadline for getting last-minute urgent funds into our final week’s media ad buy.

We just got new polls that show several challengers surging in these final 8 days and we continue to see our members with narrow leads in dozens of races nationwide. Urgent additions must be made to our ad buy to put us over the top — but we are still coming up short on the funds.

We are literally just $77K away from President Obama and Joe Biden‘s grassroots goal — we can get there tonight in time for tomorrow’s one week out ad buy, but only if you can give right now. I have several House Democrats lined up to match your gifts 2-to-1 tonight. Please give right now to our final week’s ad buy.

It all comes down to these final 8 days — it’s now or never and I know we can do this. Don’t let Sarah Palin and her tea party express buy their way into Congress with deceptive ads. Please contribute $5, $10 or more right now so we can cross the finish line to victory together.

————————————————————————————

Friend —

The Republicans are putting everything they’ve got into these 8 final days before Election Day. The only question is will we do the same?

They are trying to overwhelm us with misleading attack ads funded by the very same special interests that would hold enormous sway if Republicans control Congress.

Let me tell you something. I’ve been around campaigns for a long time and I have never seen a midterm election with this many races in play. That’s why my friends at the DCCC have a strategy in place to secure victory in these final days. But they need your help to fund it by midnight tomorrow.

Every dollar you give could be the difference between victory and defeat for another House Democrat.

Help the DCCC raise $250,000 more before the One Week Out deadline Midnight Tomorrow to fund Rapid Response ads and support their state-of-the-art voter contact efforts for the final push before Election Day. Contribute today and your gift will be matched 2-to-1 by generous House Democrats.

We’ve seen this kind of politics from the Republicans before. They’re coming at us with this final blitz of attack ads on the simple calculation that we won’t have the wherewithal to fight back.

Your support will help our Democratic champions in the House set the record straight against these kinds of attacks in these final days, when it matters the most.

Help the DCCC raise $250,000 more before the One Week Out deadline Midnight Tomorrow to fund Rapid Response ads and support their state-of-the-art voter contact efforts for the final push before Election Day. Contribute today and your gift will be matched 2-to-1 by generous House Democrats.

In an election this important, we cannot have a single regret, thinking we could’ve worked harder in these final days.

With victory so close at hand, now is the time to move forward with everything we’ve got.

Joe Biden

P.S. Every dollar you give could be the difference between victory and defeat for another House Democrat. Help the DCCC raise $250,000 before the One Week Out deadline Midnight Tomorrow to fund their efforts for the final push before Election Day.

Just got off the phone… a message from James Carville


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.

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.

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.

Contribute Today


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.
