Breaking: Republicans expand ad buys into seven additional districts bringing the total to over 60 races.

With just 24 hours to go before our ad buy deadline, news reports broke yesterday that the Republicans’ campaign attack squad has expanded their advertising blitz.

The claims in Republican ads have already been debunked by the Pulitzer Prize winning PolitiFact. Yet, they now have the resources to EXPAND their false attacks into more districts. It’s Rove-style dirty politics at its worst.

It’s up to us to set the record straight but we have to go all-in before tomorrow’s deadline hits.

We have just 24 hours left before our deadline to wire more money for ads but we’re still $72,179 short.

Please contribute $5, $10 or more to our Rapid Response Ad Fund today and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of committed Democrats.

We can stop them — we have done it before. But I need you to help us stand up to their smears.

Onward to Victory,

Jon Vogel
DCCC Executive Director

No Regrets

10/04/2010 Nativegrl77

I don’t have a crystal ball to predict the future.

I can’t tell you exactly how many seats will be won or lost on Election day. But I can tell you that — with your help — I am confident that Democrats will retain our Majority in Congress. The actions we take this week will make a big difference in the ultimate outcome. That is because, as of today, early voting has started in more than half the states. The next 4 days are essential to our success.

Last week, Republican Leader Boehner pledged $1 million to go after House Democrats in tight races. We must match that million before Friday’s deadline to wire money for next week’s ad buys. We can’t afford to fall behind now.

Please join us and contribute $5, $10 or more today and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by House Democrats.

With so many races being called “toss-ups”, every dollar you give will make a difference. Nobody wants to wake up the day after the election regretting that we didn’t do more. It’s getting down to the wire and we have to pull out all the stops to win.

With just 29 days to go until Election Day, we are making the critical, final decisions about where to deploy our field staff and volunteers, provide air cover for our candidates and invest every last dollar in the closing days of the campaign.

We need to make sure we get our message out and get all our voters to the polls.

Contribute $5, $10 or more to the Early Voter Rapid Response Fund and help us raise $1 Million to support our courageous candidates. This is so critical that if your contribution is received by Midnight Friday it will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of committed Democrats.

Onward to Victory,

Chris Van Hollen
DCCC Chairman

P.S. This is one of the most expensive mid-term campaigns in history. I need your immediate support to fully fund our campaigns. Contribute to the Early Voter Rapid Response Fund and help us raise $1 Million to support our courageous candidates. This is so critical that if your contribution is received by Midnight Friday it will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of committed Democrats.

Breaking: GOP Targets Washington

09/28/2010 Nativegrl77

Get our ads on the air: Contribute Now>>

News broke this morning that John Boehner‘s campaign squad is going up with attack ads in Washington. What actions you take in the next few hours will be critical to Democrats‘ successes in November.

Thursday midnight marks the last and final FEC quarterly deadline of the campaign, which means we need your support right now to prevent the GOP from dominating the airwaves with swift boat attacks in the critical final weeks leading up to the election.

While I am more confident than ever that we can retain our Majority, we must do everything we possibly can in these final days to fight back. There is too much at stake to leave any race without enough rapid response resources to fight back. We need 11 supporters from Seattle to give today to keep pace.

Please help by midnight Thursday and we will match your gift 2-to-1 from a group of committed Democrats, tripling your impact.

This deadline is the one that every pundit, talking head and Republican will use to measure our chances in November.

While I am more confident than ever that we can retain our Majority, we must do everything we possibly can in these final days to fight back. We can’t wake up on November 3rd with a single regret. Contribute today before Thursday’s deadline.

Thank you for standing with us.

Onward to victory,

Jon Vogel
DCCC Executive Director

Saturday in Washington

09/23/2010 Nativegrl77

Early Voter Action Fund: 24 Hours Left
$122,646 TO GO: Contribute Today >>

Saturday is another critical make-or-break day for our campaigns nationwide.

Local Washington organizers are ready to go door-to-door this Saturday to make sure voters know the truth about Democrats fighting for the middle-class and tea party Republicans attempting to hide their radical ideas — but we can’t do it without your help.

We need 17 supporters from Seattle to help equip local organizers for this Saturday’s massive Voter Outreach Day of Action.

Almost every pundit agrees it’s all going to come down to turnout and who can get their supporters to the polls. That means voter contact NOW when early voting is starting will be critical to our success in November. We are short $122,646 before our deadline in just 24 hours to get the money to our campaigns in time.

Will you contribute before tomorrow’s midnight deadline to help power our National Day of Action? Your gift will be matched 2-to-1 by a group of committed Democrats.

“Boehner for Speaker” Republicans and their corporate-funded front groups just launched a barrage of new ads attacking House Democrats who stood strong against the special interests. With early voting starting this week in battleground states, we can’t sit back and let their lies take hold.

The right-wing shadow groups may have millions in right-wing special interest cash but they can’t hide the fact that their Republican candidates support unpopular ideas like privatizing Social Security and tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.

With your support, we’re going to give voters the facts they need to fight the right-wing spin.

Help us make sure voters have the facts on tea party Republicans’ radical ideas by contributing to our Early Voter Action Fund today. Your gift will be matched 2-to-1 by a group of committed Democrats.

Onward to victory!

When Republicans Attack

09/21/2010 Nativegrl77

Election Day is just 42 days from today and everything you and I care about is on the line.

A Republican victory would unleash an agenda so extreme that it would make George Bush blush. Well, that’s not going to happen.

I’ve reviewed the DCCC‘s campaign plan. They have a smart, aggressive battle plan for winning this election based upon a carefully targeted media strategy and a Get-Out-The-Vote plan using sophisticated voter turn-out models that even our opponents say is second to none.

But, this plan depends upon a secret ingredient: Committed grassroots supporters like you. To launch into action, we must raise $278,451 more before Friday’s deadline to get money to campaigns before their Day of Action this Saturday.

Every dollar you give can mean the difference between victory and defeat on Election Day.

Contribute $5, $10 or more to Democrats’ Early Voter Action Fund before Friday’s deadline when we have to finalize our field plans. Your contribution will be matched 2-to-1 by a group of committed Democrats to help in even more close races.

The fact is more than 75% of the DCCC’s funding comes from individual donors like you. The DCCC knows how to put those dollars to work exposing radical Republicans’ promises to privatize Social Security, repeal health care reform and gut Wall Street regulations.

I’m asking you to step up right now and provide the financial resources we need to get out our message and turn out our voters.

The stakes in this election could not be higher. Its outcome will determine whether we continue to move forward with President Obama or return to the failed Bush policies of the past. I’m asking you to stand up and be counted by supporting House Democrats with as generous a contribution as you can afford.

Thank you.

Wesley Clark
General, U.S. Army (ret.)

P.S. Mobilizing our voters and getting them to the polls is the key to victory on Election Day. We need the financial support from committed Democrats like you to help lead the way. Contribute before Friday’s deadline and your support will be matched 2-to-1 by a group of committed Democrats. Thank you.
