Tattoo

In jujitsu, whenever you get hit, you turn it right back against your opponent. The same is true in politics.

The Republicans are using the final days of this campaign to attack Democrats with the financial resources of Big Banks, Big Oil, and Big Insurance companies, all channeled through secretive outside groups.

We must turn this force right back against them by tattooing the real agenda of these corporate special interests onto every Republican candidate they are supporting.

Time is running short. We need the support of every Democrat committed to stopping a corporate takeover of our elections to raise the $27,896 more we need before tonight’s TV ad buy deadline hits.

Please contribute $5, $10 or more to the DCCC’s Rapid Response Ad Fund before our Midnight Tonight deadline. Your support will help Democrats remind voters who is behind these secretive outside group attacks and hold the Republicans fully accountable.

These outside groups have euphemistic names like “Americans for Prosperity,” “American Crossroads,” and the “American Future Fund.” That last one is the most ironic, since their singular goal is to take America right back to the past by bringing back the exact same Republican agenda that drove our economy into a terrible ditch.

We cannot remain silent in the face of these attacks on our courageous House Democrats who have worked so hard to move America forward.

As we have learned from our successful election victories, the only answer for this kind of combat is combat.

There is no doubt that we will retain our Democratic House Majority as long as we have you in this fight. We cannot wake up on the day after Election Day with any regrets.

Thank you,

Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House

P.S. We must turn the force of these secretive outside groups right back around by tattooing their real agenda onto every Republican candidate whom they are supporting. Please contribute to the DCCC’s Rapid Response Ad Fund before our Midnight Tonight deadline.

Miscalculations … a message from Speaker Pelosi

10/05/2010 Nativegrl77

The Republicans think they have won this election. They think you have given up and that you will not show up.

But the truth is — they have underestimated us before, and there is no doubt in my mind that this is their biggest miscalculation of all.

We will retain our Democratic Majority in the House because I have you in this fight. But we can’t wake up on the day after Election Day with regrets.

Thanks to you, we are halfway to our goal to match Republican Leader John Boehner‘s million-dollar pledge to our counterparts. We simply cannot afford to fall behind matching it before Friday’s deadline to send money for ads.

Please join us and contribute $5, $10 or more today and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar today by House Democrats.

With so many competitive races, it’s important to remember that every dollar you give today could be the one that helps drive another Democratic campaign to victory. Shadowy front groups funded by GOP special interests are pouring millions into these races. We will never stop fighting to ensure the People’s House remains in the hands of the people.

Reaching this goal in the next four days is critical for our campaigns to get their message out on the airwaves and on the ground. If you have given before and can give again, please dig deep and do so. There has never been a more critical time to give.

We are just $489,491 short of matching his pledge before Friday’s deadline.

Please join us and contribute $5, $10 or more today and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar today by House Democrats.

Onward to Victory,

Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House

P.S. This is one of the most expensive mid-term campaigns in history, and shadowy GOP outside groups are pouring unprecedented amounts of money into these races. I need your immediate support to fully fund our campaigns. Contribute today.

Thursday …

09/28/2010 Nativegrl77

In 48 hours, the world will know how committed we are to standing together and fighting together in these final five weeks to retain our strong Democratic House Majority.

On Thursday at Midnight, we will come upon one of the most critical FEC deadlines that we have ever faced. It is the final quarterly deadline of this campaign and one of the last times to effectively expand our advertising in battleground districts. Your support will make the difference between victory and defeat.

My strategists inform me that we are now just $242,668 away from making this crucial goal. I am asking you to stand with me before Thursday and answer President Obama‘s $1 million dollar call to action for House Democrats.

Please contribute $5, $10 or more in the next 48 hours and our matching program will provide an unprecedented triple match by a group of committed Democrats.

As President Obama said last week, when he issued his urgent call to action: “We simply cannot afford to spend the next two years wishing we had done more in this final push.”

There is no doubt in my mind that we will maintain a strong Democratic Majority in the House of Representatives — the people’s House — if we work together in these final five weeks.

Contribute $5, $10 or more in the next 48 hours and our matching program will provide an unprecedented triple match by a group of committed Democrats.

With just 48 hours left, there has never been a more urgent time to contribute.

Thank you,

Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House

P.S. In the next 48 hours, the final quarterly deadline of this campaign will pass. This is the last time to effectively expand our advertising in our battleground districts. Your support will make the difference between victory and defeat. Please contribute today and a group of Democrats will triple your contribution.

a message from Nancy Pelsosi FW: Barack Obama’s Urgent Message

09/25/2010 Nativegrl77

On Wednesday, President Obama issued an urgent call to action for Democratic supporters nationwide: $1 million in grassroots dollars before Thursday’s final and most important quarterly reporting deadline. The amount of money we have in the bank as of midnight on the 30th will be used to judge our chances of winning tight races and retaining our Majority. This is also one of the last times to effectively expand advertising time in districts.

There has never been a more critical time to give. If we don’t want to see what we have worked so hard for come undone, we must stand united. Time is running out and I need your support now more than ever. Please contribute $5, $10 or more today and our matching program will be an unprecedented triple match by a group of committed Democrats.

Thank you as always for standing with us.

Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House

Friend —

In the coming weeks, Americans will make a critical choice. Do we continue moving our country forward? Or do we bring back the very same ideas that devastated the middle class and resulted in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression?

There is no doubt that Democrats can retain our Majority in the House of Representatives in the same way that we won in 2008 — by going block by block, house by house, voter by voter.

September 30th marks the final FEC quarterly fundraising deadline of this election, making this the most important deadline we have ever faced. Your support by Midnight on September 30th will decide how strong our voter contact team is, how far they can extend their reach, and how many Democratic voters they can get to the polls.

Contribute before the crucial Midnight September 30th FEC deadline to fund our get-out-the-vote effort and ensure that I keep my great Democratic Partners in the House. Your gift today will be matched by a group of generous Democrats.

The challenges we face as a nation are too great to go back to the same old Republican ideas that got us into this mess in the first place. We simply cannot give the keys to the car back to the very same folks whose ideas led to the worst economy since the 1930s.

Since taking office, I have been fortunate to have extraordinary partners in the House like Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues who have fought to move our country in a New Direction. They have put our recovery on track, fought Republican attempts to privatize Social Security, and heroically taken on the powerful special interests. Now they need your help.

When my own campaign for this office began, we weren’t given much of a chance by the pollsters or the pundits. You proved them wrong through your belief that 2008 had to be different. Now I need you to do it again for my great Democratic allies in the House.

We simply cannot afford to spend the next two years wishing we had done more in this final push to keep the House in Democratic hands.

This is our moment to retain a Democratic House so we can continue working to create millions of jobs, strengthen our middle class, and make this economy work for every American.

Thank you.

Barack Obama
