Breaking Poll Numbers

10/26/2010 Nativegrl77

There are just hours left before our most critical deadline of the election. The amount of money in the bank tonight determines tomorrow’s television spending — this is the FINAL time we can make adjustments to our ad buy for the final week.

I have met with the staff here at headquarters. They have showed me promising early vote and new developing poll numbers including some critical surges for some of our challengers, and a continued list of neck and neck polls where additional television time could be the push we need to victory.

I want to spend in more races tomorrow, but I can’t without your help tonight. Everything is on the line and we are just $21,699 away from our goal. Please contribute $5, $10 or more right now to make sure tomorrow’s spending has the largest impact.

Will you join us? If you do, a group of generous Democrats who are committed to retaining our Majority will match all online gifts tonight with two dollars of their own. Please contribute now.

Our Majority can hold strong in the face of the onslaught of special interest spending and Sarah Palin and her tea party express — but not without these last minute resources. Thank you for all that you do.

Onward to Victory,

Chris Van Holllen
DCCC Chairman

P.S. Our field operation is the most impressive a midterm election has ever implemented — and we can see it already as early voting is showing promising results. Our path to victory is clear but I need you with me every step of the way. If you have already given, thank you, but I need you to give again. If you have not given, this is no time to sit on the sidelines, please give as generously as you can tonight.

RE: The Choice

10/12/2010 Nativegrl77

I need you to make a choice today — a choice to help finish what we started together.

Voters go to the polls just three weeks from today. If we let up now, we’ll wake up on Election Day wishing we did more to fight back against the tea party mob and their corporate special interest backers.

That’s why I am writing with a very specific ask today — to own a piece of this campaign. If you could give $28 today, it would cover a grassroots organizing kit for one volunteer, if you gave $35, it covers an actual radio ad in one of our too-close-to-call districts, and $144 covers the cost per point of television in another tough district for us.

We are in 75 make-or-break districts and with 8 more states starting early voting this week, we must raise an additional $500,000.

Please rush an urgent gift today before Friday’s deadline to wire money to campaigns.

Together, we can be the difference between victory and defeat on Election Day.

Onward to Victory,

Jon Vogel
DCCC Executive Director

A message from Nancy Pelosi

09/20/2010 Nativegrl77

Starting this week, in battleground states across America, voters are casting their ballots in early voting.

That means this could be our last chance to get out our message to voters in several competitive districts. It is up to us make sure that voters know what is at stake in this election. If we wait until October to expose Republicans’ plans to privatize Social Security, cut Medicare, or extend tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas, it could be too late.

We need to raise $500,000 to fully deploy our Early Voter Action Plan in time to reach these critical voters. This is such a critical deadline that a group of committed Democrats will give two dollars for every dollar you contribute.

Contribute $5, $10 or more to the DCCC’s Early Voter Action Fund by this Friday, September 24th, and your support will be matched 2-to-1. That means your contribution will be worth triple what you give.

Your generosity today will directly affect how many voters in swing districts will be able to mobilize before Election Day. And now that early voting has started, time is of the essence.

Early voting was a key factor to our success in the historic 2008 election. We know that our finely tuned ground game and sophisticated turnout models will give us the edge in these elections — but only if we have the resources to deploy these critical programs.

Contribute $5, $10 or more to the DCCC’s Early Voter Action Fund by this Friday, September 24th, and your support will be matched 2-to-1. That means your contribution will be worth triple what you give.

If we all stand together with our strong House candidates, we will maintain our strong majority to keep moving America forward into the future. We are not going back to the failed Republican policies of the past.

Thank you for your continuing support.

Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House
