Dear Friends,
From now on, there will be no doubt that President Obama has the grassroots support he needs to bring real change to America.
Thanks to you, we didn't just meet our June 30th grassroots fundraising goal - we shattered it by raising an astounding $1.2 million. Your astounding show of support on Tuesday alone brought in more contributions to the DCCC than on any day since President Obama's election. We can't thank you enough. Moreover, your contributions will be matched 2-to-1 by House Democrats - tripling your impact.Your support is already driving historic change. Last Friday, the House passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act to create jobs, fight climate change, and get America running on clean energy.
Here is what Vice President Al Gore had to say: "Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Leadership of the House, and Chairmen Waxman and Markey have, through their leadership, secured an important bipartisan victory for the American people. The American Clean Energy Security (ACES) Act is one of the most important pieces of legislation Congress will ever pass."
That's not all. There are so many other ways that your grassroots support is having an immediate impact:
- You're helping us hold Republicans' feet to the fire with an Independence Day radio ad campaign highlighting the GOP's hypocrisy.
But in politics, there is no rest for the weary. National Republicans are
already launching ads attacking President Obama and our proud Democrats in Congress for passing the landmark clean energy bill. We know that more ferocious Republican attacks are on the way against President Obama's biggest Congressional allies so it's critical that we stay on guard.
Thanks for helping us stand strong against Republican obstruction and helping President Obama move America in a New Direction.
Sincerely,
Jon Vogel
Executive Director, DCCC
