24 hours … a message from Arshad Hasan


This is it. Tonight, we’re making our final decisions on where to invest extra resources in these last 24 hours before the election. The more we raise by tonight, the more places we’ll be able to invest in — so please, contribute $10 right now and put our candidates over the top.

Contribute $10 right now — before we make the final decisions on where to invest in the last 24 hours.

When it’s all said and done, DFA members are providing the difference for progressives in top races around the country. Just look at the work we’ve done together:

  • $1 million raised for endorsed candidates up and down the ballot across the country
  • 750,000 calls to swing states and districts where progressives are running
  • 250,000 volunteer hours made by DFA members for endorsed campaigns
  • Trained staff on the ground in 10 of the most important races nationwide

And that’s not all. We’ve run ads and polls that have fundamentally changed the debate of this election time and again. This is the final push. With just 24 hours left, we’re making our final decisions on which races need extra resources right now to get over the top. Your contribution today will help us work in more places than ever.

This is DFA’s biggest Get Out The Vote program ever — Contribute $10 now to finish the job.

We’ve come this far. Join us today and deliver the win.

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.

The final weekend


Forget the “enthusiasm gap.” Here’s the real story about who is more fired up and ready to go — just as our campaigns shift into GOTV (get-out-the-vote) mode.

Reports are coming in from across the country of record early voting turnout in key states like Ohio and Iowa — with Democratic turnout far outpacing our opponents.

On Saturday, OFA volunteers reached out to more than 1 million voters in a single day — levels we haven’t seen since the closing days of the presidential campaign two years ago.

And on Sunday night, Barack and Michelle Obama spoke to more than 35,000 Ohioans about these final two weeks. It was the largest rally since the inauguration.

But none of that will be enough unless we continue building through the final days of this election.

Will you sign up to fill a crucial GOTV shift in the final four days of our Vote 2010 campaign?

Sign up for a GOTV shift

As the President said in Columbus,”there’s no more important time to be out there knocking on doors, making phone calls, and helping voters get to the polls” than on the Saturday, Sunday, and Monday before Election Day — and on Election Day itself, November 2nd.

Supporters across the country will come together in the final days to help eke out every last vote we can — from the grandmother who would like nothing more than to vote and just needs a ride, to that last call to convince a first-time voter from 2008 that he needs to get back to the polls this year.

And from New York to California, Alaska to Florida — and everywhere in between — there are key races that will need every ounce of energy you can spare.

Please sign up to help in the closing days of this campaign:
