Enough is Enough … Nancy Pelosi


Enough is enough.

 The clock is ticking toward the Super Committee’s November 23rd deadline. Republicans are insisting on eliminating the Medicare guarantee while cutting taxes for millionaires and refusing to include a robust jobs plan. That’s not fair.

 Democrats remain hopeful that we’ll get a deal and will continue to advocate for a big, bold, and balanced plan to reduce the deficit and create jobs.

 With just 25 seats standing between us and a new Democratic Majority, let’s seize this moment and show the world Democrats are strong and united.

That’s why we’ve set a goal of raising $500,000 from grassroots Democrats before the critical Federal Election Commission deadline on November 30th to hold these Tea Party Republicans accountable. Will you stand with us?

Please contribute $3 or more right now to ensure Democrats have a powerful showing in the first important deadline since the One Year Out to the election mark.

 Thank you,

a message from Nancy Pelosi


If we continue to stand together, I believe this moment will mark the turning point on the road to a Democratic victory in 2012.

The American people are rejecting the Tea Party Republican agenda that puts tax breaks for the wealthiest people in our country ahead of creating jobs.

Now, it is up to us to seize this moment.

That’s why the looming October 31st FEC fundraising deadline is so critical. This is the last fundraising deadline before the one year out to Election Day marker and House Democrats must have a strong showing.

Please contribute $3 or more to our Million Dollar Match Campaign before October 31st and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of House Democrats.

The world will be watching to see if Democrats can maintain the momentum and exceed our million dollar goal. Our results will be closely scrutinized by the media and political pundits as an indication of our strength and determination to take the fight to the Republicans.

With just 25 seats standing between us and a new Democratic Majority, we can’t wait for tomorrow.

Contribute $3 or more to our Million Dollar Match Campaign before Midnight Monday >>

Let’s stand together for a new direction that places creating jobs over reckless tax breaks for billionaires and Big Oil.

Thank you for your support,

Nancy Pelosi

They got it wrong …Rufus Gifford, BarackObama.com


Just six days before the last fundraising deadline, one major newspaper ran a story under the headline “Small donors are slow to return to the Obama fold.”

You and a whole lot of other supporters turned that headline upside down. Today we filed a report with the FEC that shows this movement isn’t just as strong as ever — it’s growing.

Sometimes the media gets so caught up in its own echo chamber that the storyline separates from the facts.

The great thing about building a grassroots organization based outside of Washington is that the press won’t decide what happens here — you will.

In fact, right now, just shy of 1 million people like you have taken ownership of this campaign by pitching in whatever they can afford.

You’re already going to be a part of that million — but there’s still something you can do to help get the campaign there today.

Promise to match a first-time grassroots supporter by making a donation today — and the new supporter we’ll match you with will join you as part of that first million. You can even write them a note.

No matter what happens in the inside-the-beltway media circus, or what the pundits are predicting, we’ve got to stay focused on building this campaign from the ground up, one grassroots donation at a time.

When each of us takes responsibility as a supporter, the combined impact sends a stronger message than any single newspaper story.

You can do that right now.

Promise to match a first-time supporter’s donation today and help the campaign get to 1 million:

Thanks,

Rufus

Friday’s critical September 30th FEC deadline …

2 Comments

Al Gore‘s right — “at no time has Democrats’ progress been more threatened than it is now.” Tea Party Republicans are working feverishly to roll back Democratic achievements and advance their own radical agenda.

 There are just a few days left before Friday’s critical September 30th FEC deadline and we are still $293,841 short of our $1 Million goal. We need to have the strongest showing possible — that’s why all gifts today are matched 2-to-1, tripling your impact.

Act fast and generously to help Democrats now >>   www.dccc.org

Friend —

At no time has Democrats’ progress been more threatened than it is now. Single-minded proponents of a dangerous and extremist agenda are working feverishly to roll back every Democratic gain we’ve ever made.

The Tea Partiers now calling the shots in the Republican Party won’t back away from their radical agenda. And they are also exceedingly well funded by corporate backers, thanks to the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision.

It will take an unshakeable commitment from grassroots Democrats like you to guarantee our progress and to continue to move America forward.

That’s why I am asking for your support of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC)’s Million Dollar Matching Gift Campaign before their critical Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising reporting deadline on September 30th.

Contribute $3 or more today and your gift will be matched by House Democrats with two dollars of their own!   www.dccc.org

Your gift will fund the DCCC’s Rapid Response Network and shine a powerful spotlight on the Tea Party Republicans’ extreme agenda so we can return to the Majority in the U.S. House of Representatives as full partners with President Obama and with Nancy Pelosi as Speaker.

I am making this personal appeal to you because it’s imperative we have a strong FEC filing on September 30th.

We need to deliver proof that the Democratic Party is ready, willing and able to lead the country forward — with money in the bank and people like you willing to stand and fight.

Contribute $3 or more today and your gift will be matched by House Democrats with two dollars of their own!  www.dccc.org

Thank you for making the best donation you can.

Sincerely,

Al Gore

P.S. Nancy Pelosi and my friends at the DCCC are working around the clock to stand up to the Republicans’ war on middle class America, but we must have grassroots Democrats like you at our side to return to the Majority. Contribute today >>   www.dccc.org

House Republicans are holding govt hostage, again


Here’s the latest:

Boehner, Cantor, and House Republicans are once again holding our government hostage — this time over disaster aid for victims of Hurricane Irene and devastating fires across the western U.S.

We’ve all seen what can happen when Republicans get their hands on FEMA. Now they are intent on setting a dangerous precedent that victims of natural disasters are fair game as political bargaining chips. It’s appalling.

 FEMA is expected to run out of disaster relief funds early next week so we must act quickly. The entire government will run out of funds just a few days later.

Please contribute $3 or more today to help us hold House Republicans accountable for heartlessly holding up disaster relief funds to their political demands >>WWW.DCCC.ORG

When our friends and neighbors see their lives turned upside down by hurricanes or tornadoes, we should stand by them. Their hardship should never be used as an opportunity for Republicans to score points with their Tea Party base.

What’s so important that Boehner, Cantor, and House Republicans are threatening to hold up assistance for victims of natural disasters and shut down the federal government?

House Republicans want to strip funding for a green energy loan program that’s created or saved 41,000 jobs.

Instead of heeding President Obama’s call to create jobs, House Republicans have presented us with a callous choice: put more Americans out of work in this tough economy or risk a government shutdown and delay of critically-needed funding for disaster victims.

I reject that choice. Will you stand with us?

Thank you for everything you do.

P.S. September 30th marks the first Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising deadline since President Obama introduced the American Jobs Act. Contribute by September 30th to show your support for this bill and House Democrats will triple match your gift!
