Back in Tennessee there's an old saying: When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the law on your side, argue the law. When you have neither, holler.
That pretty much defines the Republican opposition to President Obama's agenda for change - a whole lot of hollering to obscure their real goal, which is to prevent him and Congress from achieving important gains like climate change legislation and health care reform.
We must resist these attempts to destroy our hopes for real change with the same passion that elected President Obama. I remember all too well how this same strategy to deliberately obstruct President Clinton's agenda led to the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994.
We cannot afford to let that happen in 2010.
And that's why I'm imploring you to stand with President Obama and our Democrats in Congress at this critical time before our deadline MIDNIGHT tomorrow. Contribute $50, $75 or more before MIDNIGHT tomorrow and Democratic leaders have offered to match your gift two dollars for every dollar.I urge you to make a generous contribution to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee before our MIDNIGHT deadline tomorrow. Democratic leaders have offered to match your gift dollar-for-dollar if it is received before the deadline.
Don't let Republicans succeed this time. What you do today really matters.
Contribute $50, $75 or more before MIDNIGHT tomorrow and Democratic leaders have offered to match your gift two dollars for every dollar.Just like the election of President Barack Obama was in your hands last November, the ability to defend our Democratic Majority in Congress in 2010 depends on your willingness to pitch in now with the same intensity and desire for change.
President Obama needs you to keep on fighting at his side for a better, fairer, and more forward-thinking America - for green energy and for health care reform. It's as simple as that.Remember, Republicans orchestrated a takeover of Congress in 1994 with the same strategy of obstructionism and nay-saying. They can only do it again if we let them. I'm totally dedicated to supporting President Obama and our Democrats in Congress at this critical time. I hope I can count on you to do the same. Thank you.
Contribute $50, $75 or more before MIDNIGHT tomorrow and Democratic leaders have offered to match your gift two dollars for every dollar. Sincerely,
Al Gore
