These People are Voting … In appreciation of all they do


colorofchange.org created a video in 2010, and it is still appropriate in the year 2024… watch it! Yes, it is offensive

Next Tuesday is Election Day, and one factor above all others will determine the outcome: WHO VOTES.

That’s why we’re sharing this video we created with our friends at Presente called “Look Who Is Voting,” to remind you of some of the people who will be heading to the polls on November 5.

It’s really short, and we promise you will be glad you watched it.

Look who is voting

If you had any doubts about heading to the polls, this video should help get rid of them.

And if you have any friends or family who you think might not show up to vote, please send them the video to remind them why staying home is simply not an option.

Campaign 2012 – Barack and Biden


DCCC Campaign Plan 2012

Like it. Tweet it. Pin it.

Because of your unprecedented support, we’ve put 75 Republican seats in play — and we’re not done yet. We need to win 25 seats on Election Day – 25 weeks from today – to win a Democratic Majority in the House.
If not, it’ll be 2 more years of these radical Republicans obstructing President Obama’s agenda.

FDL


 

Hey –

What do you think will happen this Election Day?

Will Democrats lose control of the house? Will Prop 19 pass in California?

As the polling numbers and pundits offer competing predictions for this year’s midterm elections, Firedoglake is helping our activists throw their own bets into the ring. That’s why we’re proud to announce FDL’s 2010 Election Projection Challenge — your chance to prove everyone else wrong!

The contest is simple. Just visit our Election Projection Challenge page and enter your predictions for a chance to win bragging rights and one of our great prizes!

Click here to place your bets!

To win, all you need to do is guess the following outcomes:

  • How many House seats will Democrats hold in the 112th Congress?
  • How many Senate seats will Democrats hold in the 112th Congress?
  • Will Prop 19 pass?
  • What will the final percentage be for “Yes” on Prop 19?

You can even vote multiple times, but your last vote will be the only one counted in the end. The contest will end before polls close on Tuesday, November 2nd.

First prize gets a DVD of the documentary film Emperor of Hemp and a $50 gift certificate to the Just Say Now store. Second and Third prizes can choose between an autographed copy of Matt Taibbi’s new book, Griftopia: Bubble Machines, Vampire Squids, and the Long Con That Is Breaking America or an autographed copy of Arianna Huffington’s new book, Third World America.

a message from Speaker Pelosi



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.
Nancy Pelosi

Looking at the polls… a message from Rahm


I’ve been looking at the polls and I don’t see a single reason why Democrats can’t retain our strong House Majority with enough support. But time is running out.

Right now, dozens of Democratic House candidates are in the promising — but precarious — situation of trying to maintain a narrow lead in the final 14 days.

You’ve worked hard to carry our candidates to the edge of success. Don’t let Republicans scratch and claw their way back. Midnight tonight is a critical deadline to get money in the door to send out to key battleground races. Even a contribution of $5 can make the difference. But with only 14 days to go we need to get support on the ground now.

Contribute $5, $10 or more before Midnight Tonight to our Two Weeks Out ad buy fund and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by House Democrats.

Contribute Today

As a former DCCC Chairman, I know what kind of tough decisions they are being faced with and with just 14 days until Election Day, decisions are being made almost hourly about where to invest our resources. Every single dollar makes a difference.

This year, we have to help them meet a dangerous new challenge as outside shadowy GOP front groups continue to pour money into deceitful and misleading ads.

We can’t have a single regret on the day after Election Day. It’s time to go all in.

Rahm Emanuel

P.S. In these final days, we can’t let a single false attack go unanswered. Every dollar you give will help another House Democrat avoid being crushed by outside group spending. Contribute $5, $10 or more before Midnight Tonight to our Two Weeks Out ad buy fund and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by House Democrats.
