Yesterday, House Republicans mounted another extreme attack to undermine and restrict a woman’s access to reproductive health care.

Instead of creating jobs, improving our economy and strengthening small businesses, for the seventh time this year Republicans voted on a bill that assaults women’s health care.

We cannot sit silent in the face of House Republicans’ extremist agenda against women. We must act now to stop it.

Help us raise $100,000 for the DCCC Women’s Health Rapid Response Fund so we can hold the Republicans accountable.

Please make an urgent contribution of $3 or more to the DCCC’s Women’s Health Rapid Response Fund. Your generous support will send a powerful show of grassroots strength against the Republicans’ extreme agenda.

House Republicans are pursuing the most comprehensive and radical assault on women’s health and reproductive freedom in our lifetime. They should be working to help put Americans back to work, not waging an outrageous war against women and their private health decisions.

Let us never allow the health of American women to come under attack.

Please contribute $3 or more right now to the DCCC’s Women’s Health Rapid Response Fund >> WWW.DSCC.ORG

Thank you,

Nancy Pelosi

Friday’s critical September 30th FEC deadline …

09/27/2011 Nativegrl77 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

just another rant …

It’s Friday and while that in itself is a good thing, watching and hearing President Obama in VA today was an even greater thing to experience and definitely consistent with what he has always felt about helping the Middle Class which, is to provide a hand up not a hand out. However, this concept is completely contrary to what we hear from most if not all those right of center or the extremist Teapublicans who believe government is too big but only when they do not need it for themselves. The idea that members of the Republican Congress felt completely comfortable stating they would not attend, that the President’s speech did not rise to a joint speech in Congress, of laughing during his American Jobs Act speech left me with no doubt that Republicans are not qualified or grown-up enough to govern our great Nation. I have to admit it was beyond sad to hear grown adults disrespect the office of President let alone President Obama and last i remember we are not in a parliamentary setting where they are free to scream and or yell. It was offensive and disturbing but it gave Americans the full picture of just who the GOPers are, who they side with and what they intend to continue. That, is holding the Middle Class hostage while demanding less regulation, less tax burden on the job creators, and if given the chance, will cut slash and burn Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or any other social service program designed to give a hand up not a hand out. I guess the idea of giving a hand up to the middle class or the poor is a cliché only a Teapublican could laugh at. How do you feel as an American about the reckless, hypocrisy ridden, unfazed, greedy sounding, self-interested ideologically moved attitudes by the Teapublican Political Party who seem quite driven and who probably have signed up to take our Democracy and Country literally over the edge of disaster to gain control of the White House.

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.

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
