Palin for Congress? a message from Paul Begala


Only 20 Days Left Until The Election

Make no mistake about it, Sarah Palin is basically running for Congress this year.

Her name might not appear on any ballot but Palin-endorsed Republican clones are running and many of them are in too-close-to-call races, which makes things a little too close for comfort!

The latest outrage is that the US Chamber of Commerce — a multimillion-dollar corporate lobbying machine — broadcast the HOME PHONE NUMBER of one of our Democratic candidates. The candidate’s daughters couldn’t use the phone anymore because of what her spokesperson called, “harassment and abuse.”

How’s that for family values?

Meanwhile, Ms. Palin is raising money and motivating her base. She probably thinks she can see a Republican majority from her front porch.

You can turn Ms. Palin’s vision into a Wasilla mirage. The DCCC’s October Rapid Response Fund ads are already making a difference and their impressive get out the voter efforts have mobilized thousands of volunteers. But my friends at the DCCC need your urgent support to hit their goal of $500,000 before Friday’s deadline to wire urgently-needed money to Democratic campaigns.

Contribute $5, $10 or more to the October Rapid Response Fund before Friday’s midnight deadline. Your generous support is urgently needed to help Democrats defeat Sarah Palin-backed candidates in make-or-break districts.

This is no longer your father’s Republican Party. I’ve been through a lot of elections, but I have never seen a group of Republican candidates as far-right as this group of Palin’s recruits.

The DCCC is just $242,226 away from their Rapid Response goal for this Friday’s Midnight Deadline. They have Rapid Response ads ready to go up in every battleground district where a Palin protege is running so Democrats can hit back hard against their Palin-esque tall tales.

Contribute $5, $10 or more to the October Rapid Response Fund before Friday’s midnight deadline. Your generous support is urgently needed to help Democrats defeat Sarah Palin-backed candidates in make-or-break districts.

Every dollar you give can be the difference between victory for one of these Palin Republicans or their defeat.

P.S. The DCCC is just $242,226 away from their Rapid Response goal to fund ads in every battleground district where a Palin protege is running. Contribute before Friday at Midnight to help Democrats defeat Sarah Palin-backed candidates in make-or-break districts.

Buckle UP …a message from Paul Begala


Critical FEC Deadline: 24 Hours Left
$141,983 TO GO: Contribute Today >>
34 Days Until the Election

In just 24 hours, we come face to face with the final FEC quarterly deadline before Election Day. No doubt that this is the most important deadline of the campaign — and these tea party types know it.

Sarah Palin just announced that she’s targeting 20 races, and some tea party crazy who is too ashamed to show his or her face just slithered out from under a rock to chip in a cool million for their effort to drag us back to the Stone Age. The world will judge our response to gauge our chances for holding the House.

President Obama issued his urgent call and I want to second it. We need to raise just $141,983 more in the next 24 hours to make our goal.

Contribute $5, $10 or more before tomorrow’s FEC deadline to fund our Rapid Response Media Fund. Your dollars will be matched 2-to-1 by a group of committed Democrats, tripling the impact of your support.

Every dollar you give today will go right back out into our battleground districts. Your support will make the difference between victory and defeat. Sarah Palin thinks she can see a right-wing GOP House from her front porch. Let’s prove her wrong.

It’s time to buckle up.

P.S. Many key races show a dead heat in the polls. It’s all going to come down to which side can mobilize their voters and turn them out. Help us raise just $141,983 more in the next 24 hours.

AFP placing ads attacking the Democratic Party


AFP Ad

I just got word that the so-called “Americans for Prosperity” swift boat group is up on the air with new ads attacking Democrats that stood up for health insurance reform.

We can’t let these attacks go unanswered. We’ve got rapid response TV ads ready to go, but we must raise $121,772 more before our August FEC deadline at midnight Tuesday to get them on the air. Can you chip in?

Contribute $5 or more today and your gift will be matched by a group of committed Democrats. I’ll also make sure we dial you in for Tuesday’s strategy call with Paul Begala and top Democratic strategists.

Thanks.
