Republican Rob McKenna has been sharpening his rhetoric in recent weeks, and we think it’s because he’s getting nervous — for good reason. This race is neck-in-neck, and McKenna knows it. At midnight Saturday, we close the books on March. We’ll send the numbers off for the press, pundits, and our opponents to measure our momentum. We still have $30,000 to go to hit our numbers. Right now, we need you to step up and help us reach our $30,000 fundraising goal before the deadline. Will you contribute $3 before the end-of-quarter fundraising deadline on Saturday? We’ve covered a lot of ground in the last few months. Jay rolled out his jobs plan to build an economy where good-paying jobs are created and middle class workers know their hard work once again really matters. We worked hard to expose Rob McKenna’s empty education promises — with the help of thousands of members of the JayInslee.com community. And now Jay is giving everything he has to focusing on this campaign and talking to people about how to grow Washington‘s economy. We’ve gotten this far because of supporters like you. I’m proud of our success, but there’s a long way to go and a lot more to do. Will you contribute $3 before the end-of-quarter fundraising deadline on Saturday? In a campaign this competitive, we can’t let any opportunity slip by. Every month when we report our fundraising numbers, it’s another chance to show our strength. It’s another chance for us to show the grassroots momentum behind the campaign. In short, it’s another chance to show that we’re on the road to victory — but unless supporters like you stand with us now, the story could just as easily go the other way. Will you contribute $3 before the end-of-quarter fundraising deadline on Saturday? On a campaign, you never know what might come next. But with your help, we can be prepared for whatever comes our way. Thank you, Joby Shimomura |

Campaign ALERT:
CAMPAIGN ALERT: We just got news that Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS group has launched $1.8 million in vicious, lie-filled ads attacking five of our Democratic Senate candidates, including Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts.
Why Warren? Because she is a true fighter against corporate power and is a serious threat to beat Scott Brown and take back that seat in Massachusetts.
Election Day is one year away. Campaign outcomes are being decided NOW. We’re still $50,000 short of our Year Out Project goal, and we need to respond to Rove’s attacks with a show of strength by midnight. Every dollar we fall short is a dollar Karl Rove can spend attacking our candidates without challenge. With 23 seats to defend, we can’t afford that. We would lose the Senate, and the new leadership would have Rove on speed dial.
Karl Rove’s attacking us in Massachusetts. Virginia. Montana. Missouri. Nebraska. And we know more attacks are coming. I’ll let you know when more news breaks.

DOJ fights AT&T merger – but our fight’s not over …Rashad Robinson, ColorOfChange.org
An exciting new ally joined the fight to stop AT&T’s dangerous merger with T-Mobile: the United Stated Department of Justice. Arguing that the merger would crush competition and lead to higher prices, the DOJ filed a lawsuit in Federal court to block the merger, dealing it a major blow.1
This is an important victory in our fight to protect the ability of poor folks and communities of color to use the Internet to make a better life for themselves. If AT&T were allowed to purchase T-Mobile, it would have a terrible impact on jobs, affordability, and Internet freedom.
Instead, the case will take months to wind its way through the court system. And the Federal Communications Commission, which also has authority over the proposed deal, has publicly indicated its own deep misgivings.2 None of this could have happened without the massive public outcry from ColorOfChange members, and our friends and allies. Thank you.
This fight isn’t over yet. We can’t predict how the lawsuit will turn out, and it’s important that we remain vigilant. AT&T is expected to fight the DOJ’s decision tooth and nail, and it remains possible that the DOJ and AT&T could hammer out a deal that leads the DOJ to drop its opposition. And 76 Democratic members of Congress are still on record supporting the deal. It’s critical that we continue to expose their false arguments in support of the merger and keep pushing them to withdraw their support.
AT&T has spent millions on lobbying and PR to advance its agenda, and it will continue to use its vast resources to twist the facts and mislead the public. Our work is powered by you, our members, and we need your support to keep fighting back. Your voice has been a powerful force in this fight.

Thanks and Peace,

Sen.Dan Kapanke – in his own words
2012 – Reelection News … Barack Obama
Today, we are filing papers to launch our 2012 campaign.
We’re doing this now because the politics we believe in does not start with expensive TV ads or extravaganzas, but with you — with people organizing block-by-block, talking to neighbors, co-workers, and friends. And that kind of campaign takes time to build.
So even though I’m focused on the job you elected me to do, and the race may not reach full speed for a year or more, the work of laying the foundation for our campaign must start today.
We’ve always known that lasting change wouldn’t come quickly or easily. It never does. But as my administration and folks across the country fight to protect the progress we’ve made — and make more — we also need to begin mobilizing for 2012, long before the time comes for me to begin campaigning in earnest.
As we take this step, I’d like to share a video that features some folks like you who are helping to lead the way on this journey.http://my.barackobama.com/2012a?keycode=&email=ynative77@gmail.com&zip=98115
In the coming days, supporters like you will begin forging a new organization that we’ll build together in cities and towns across the country. And I’ll need you to help shape our plan as we create a campaign that’s farther reaching, more focused, and more innovative than anything we’ve built before.
We’ll start by doing something unprecedented: coordinating millions of one-on-one conversations between supporters across every single state, reconnecting old friends, inspiring new ones to join the cause, and readying ourselves for next year’s fight.
This will be my final campaign, at least as a candidate. But the cause of making a lasting difference for our families, our communities, and our country has never been about one person. And it will succeed only if we work together.
There will be much more to come as the race unfolds. Today, simply let us know you’re in to help us begin, and then spread the word:
Thank you,
Be a Seed for Change
