We’re only hours out from tonight’s critical Federal Election Commission reporting deadline… Nancy Pelosi


We’re only hours out from tonight’s critical Federal Election Commission reporting deadline.

After House Republicans turned a blind eye to the nationwide constituent backlash over their votes to end Medicare while protecting tax cuts for billionaires and Big Oil, Congress is set to return to Washington next week.

We must show that grassroots Democrats are strong and unified to hold Republicans accountable for their reckless Tea Party agenda. As we enter the final hours before tonight’s midnight deadline, we remain $27,102 shy of our grassroots goal.

Contribute $3 or more before tonight’s FEC deadline and your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of House Democrats.    www.dccc.org

It’s long past time for the House Republicans to put aside their right-wing ideological agenda and work on America’s top priority: creating jobs and growing our economy.

With your generous support we’ll show that Republicans will not get away with selling out our seniors and the middle class. Stand with me in our aggressive effort to hold Republicans accountable for their extreme agenda and help us win back our House Majority.

Can you help put us over the top before tonight’s deadline? Please contribute right now.    www.dccc.org

Thank you,

Nancy Pelosi

DFA working to protect Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid


On Friday, we asked DFA members to vote on which Republican to target next with our new TV ad exposing the Republican attacks on Medicare, Social Security and education.

It was close, but the winner was clear: Republican Eric Cantor.

Now, we’ll hit him hard across his Virginia district before he heads back to Washington after Labor Day. You told us what to do. Please help make it possible by contributing $5 to get the ad on the air.

As of this morning, we’ve raised $30,000 for in-districts ads, but — to have a lasting impact and send a strong message — we need your help to raise at least $50,000 by Monday morning.

We’re holding Republicans accountable and hitting them where it hurts most — back home in their congressional district.

Please contribute now to make it happen.

Thank you for everything you do.

-Charles

Fools … James Carville

1 Comment

I’m sorry but these Tea Partyin’ fools in Congress have got to go.

They’re trying to gut the New Deal, attack workers, and end Medicare. But when it comes to tax breaks for their billionaire and Big Oil buddies, it’s hands off.

The Republicans may have Karl Rove’s secret donors and the Tea Party ditto-heads on their side but we’ve got committed grassroots folks like you to help get out the truth.

And boy do we need you right now. Democrats’ campaign to kick the Tea Party right outta Congress is just $38,701 short of their $500,000 goal before the August FEC deadline hits in 24 hours.

Contribute $3 or more today and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of House Democrats.

The media and pundits will use our grassroots fundraising totals to judge our will to call out the GOP on their hypocrisy and lies — so I’m asking you to act right now.

Every dollar you give goes right back out the door to help take the fight right to Republicans on their home turf with targeted advertising, grassroots organizing, and rapid response research.

Give today and help Democrats stand strong at this critical deadline.

Outrage … Robby Mook and Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi


We just got word that Karl Rove’s secret donor funded swift-boat group is dumping an additional $119,502 into misleading ads attacking Democrats.

Friend —

Republicans have just launched a dishonest new TV ad campaign in multiple districts across the country attacking Democrats who are standing strong for Medicare and seniors. Reports say the GOP has spent over $500,000 on this ad campaign of misleading attacks so far.

Now, after weeks of avoiding constituents who are outraged with their votes to destroy Medicare while preserving tax cuts for billionaires and Big Oil, House Republicans are set to return to Washington in a matter of days.

We must raise $500,000 before the August 31st FEC (Federal Election Commission) deadline to show that grassroots Democrats are united and committed to holding Republicans accountable for their reckless Tea Party agenda.       www.dccc.org

Contribute $3 or more before the August 31st FEC deadline and your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of House Democrats.

We cannot let Republicans get away with selling out our seniors and the middle class. Stand with me today and help us win back our House Majority.

Thank you,

Nancy Pelosi
Democratic Leader

Rick Perry wants you to delete this email


Immediately after Republicans voted to end Medicare, smart Democrats went on the attack. Working together, we elected Democrat Kathy Hochul to one of the most Republican districts in the country by exposing Republicans for voting to end Medicare and kill the American Dream.

 Republicans panicked.

 Suddenly, for the first time since 2008, Republicans were pushed into playing defense and everyone from Karl Rove to Newt Gingrich was trying to distance themselves from Paul Ryan’s plan. It’s time to put them on defense again, but who should be next?

 Help us choose the next Republican to target and contribute to keep the ad on the air:

 Click here to vote for John Boehner  http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/1082?akid=1259.1480546.T7LLWz&t=1
Click here to vote for Paul Ryan  http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/1083?akid=1259.1480546.T7LLWz&t=2
Click here to vote for Eric Cantor    http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/1084?akid=1259.1480546.T7LLWz&t=3

 I can’t choose. I want to run the ad against all of the above.   http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/1085?akid=1259.1480546.T7LLWz&t=4

 Our new TV ad focuses a strong message from real Americans sharing their personal stories — while exposing Republicans for trying to end Medicare, cut Social Security, and gut education.

 It’s powerful and it’s real. That’s why it’s been covered by everything from ABC News to the Huffington Post. And with one more week left in August, this is the perfect time to hit Republicans at home and back up our Town Hall rallies on the air.

 We’re fighting back and putting Republicans on defense.

Thank you for everything you’re doing to make it happen.
