Devastating Blow

 

*** Deadline Midnight tonight -- ONLY $12,718 TO GO. CONTRIBUTE NOW. *** Dear Phillip, If you haven't heard the latest, Norm Coleman has just conceded and Al Franken will now officially become Senator Al Franken.  However, there is very little time to celebrate this good news.  As we've been working the phones all day here at Democratic Headquarters, we just heard a rumor that the Republicans could post record-breaking fundraising numbers at tonight's deadline to try and steal the momentum from President Obama. For only the next few hours, your gift of $50 or more will be matched 2-1* to help us close the gap. President Obama is counting on us to keep momentum on his side. Check out James Carville's urgent message below - and please contribute before Midnight Tonight. Jon Vogel DCCC Executive Director   From: James Carville Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 10:34am To: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Subject: Devastating Blow   ***Deadline Midnight tonight-- ONLY $43,124 TO GO. CONTRIBUTE NOW.*** Dear Phillip, There are just a few hours left to deliver a huge victory for President Obama and a devastating blow to the Republicans. At midnight tonight, the FEC deadline hits and we will have to report how much money we have in the bank. As of now, we're still $43,124 away from hitting our million dollar goal. If we hit our goal, that means the media is gonna judge that President Obama still has momentum on his side when it comes to health care and everything else. If we fall short, they'll be saying that Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin, with the over $14 million they just raised for Republicans, are stealing our thunder. Contribute $50, $75 or more to the DCCC's Million Dollar Match* campaign. If you give by tonight's deadline, House Democrats will chip in two bucks of their own money for every single dollar you give. There are just a few hours left to tell good ol' Newt and Sarah that their fat cat money is no match for what grassroots Democrats can do. We're just $43,124 away from hitting our million dollar goal. Contribute now.   Sincerely, James Carville   *A group of Democratic Members of the House of Representatives will match your donation today.  For every dollar that you donate, these members will donate two dollars of their own.   Paid for by Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. 430 South Capitol Street, S.E.
