Today, Eric Cantor and the House “Hell No” Caucus will again use their right-wing extremist budget demands to stonewall an agreement with President Obama.

And while they drive the nation closer to economic meltdown, they’re executing a strategy to use it politically against the president and every Democrat they can find. Rove‘s people are on the air right now in seven states.

So many grassroots donors have told us they want us to fight back hard on this. That’s why we created the Emergency Media Campaign last week. The response has been overwhelming, with more than $100,000 raised (see chart below). With the deadline on Friday, we’re more than halfway there.

Can you kick in $10 to get us there before Friday? https://dscc.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=WcYCX19pcP81ulPnp90iBEwMG8IJatA0

We will defeat every Republican possible. We will defend every defender of Medicare. We will not let Republicans get away with their obstruction, petulance and blatant disregard for the people they claim to represent. And this Emergency Media Campaign will help do it.

If you believe in this effort too, will you kick in $10?

Click that link and say to yourself, “Hell no, Eric Cantor.”

Best,

It’s dirty trick #1 in the Rove playbook

10/14/2010 Nativegrl77

When you’ve got dirty laundry, don’t apologize for it. Instead, just throw it at your opponent.

That’s exactly what the Republican attack squad is trying to pull off.

They’re claiming that my fellow House Democrats who consistently stand up for good paying American jobs are actually the ones to blame for jobs getting shipped overseas. Worse yet, they’re relying on millions of dollars from pro-outsourcing special interests to launch their attacks. Shameless.

We can’t let their lies take hold because we failed to act. The DCCC has got rapid response ads ready to fight back with the truth, but we simply must raise $117,337 more by tomorrow’s ad buy deadline to get them on the air.

Contribute $5, $10 or more to House Democrats’ October Rapid Response Fund before tonight’s Midnight Tomorrow and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of committed Democrats. Your generous support is urgently needed to help our Democratic candidates fight back against Republican attacks.

It won’t surprise you that the Pulitzer Prize winning Politifact called the Republicans’ baseless attacks “FALSE.” It would be comical if the stakes of this election weren’t so high.

With early voting already under way, sitting on our hands is not an option. We all know what happens when you let smears like this go unchallenged. None of us can afford to look back on Election Day wishing we did more to fight back. And we certainly can’t let the Republicans and their front groups dominate the airwaves in the final days of this Election.

A gift of $10 will go a long way to getting ads on the air before tomorrow’s midnight deadline hits.

Thank you for standing with us.

Congresswoman, New York’s 14th District

Urgent Update: GOP’s Deceptive Ads and Expanding their Ad Buy

10/07/2010 Nativegrl77

Breaking: Republicans expand ad buys into seven additional districts bringing the total to over 60 races.

With just 24 hours to go before our ad buy deadline, news reports broke yesterday that the Republicans’ campaign attack squad has expanded their advertising blitz.

The claims in Republican ads have already been debunked by the Pulitzer Prize winning PolitiFact. Yet, they now have the resources to EXPAND their false attacks into more districts. It’s Rove-style dirty politics at its worst.

It’s up to us to set the record straight but we have to go all-in before tomorrow’s deadline hits.

We have just 24 hours left before our deadline to wire more money for ads but we’re still $72,179 short.

Please contribute $5, $10 or more to our Rapid Response Ad Fund today and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group of committed Democrats.

We can stop them — we have done it before. But I need you to help us stand up to their smears.

Onward to Victory,

Jon Vogel
DCCC Executive Director
