Dear Friend,
Let there be no doubt how united for change Democrats are this year. Thanks to you, we shattered our second quarter fundraising goal by raising an astounding $5 million in matching grassroots donations.
On behalf of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, I can't thank you enough for generously contributing to our United for Change campaign. You proved once again that the Republicans' special interests are no match for the combined strength of tens of thousands of grassroots Democrats who are committed to fighting for change.
Next month, I will have the honor of serving as Chair of our history-making Democratic National Convention in Denver, where we will officially make Senator Barack Obama our nominee for President. I'm pleased to announce that Stacy Fredricksen from Menlo Park, CA and Scott Sands from Seattle, WA have won our 100 Days Till Denver Convention Contest and will join us for our convention.
Your support is going to work right away. Thanks to you, we were able to run radio ads against some of the President's strongest Republican allies in Congress. Our ads, which ran during the July 4th district work period, featured a George Bush impersonator, "thanking" Republicans in the "Grand Oil Party" for helping to protect the status quo of high gas prices and record profits for Big Oil companies.
Check out a sample of the July 4th ad campaign that you helped make happen. Thank you again for putting our strongest candidates for change in a great position as they prepare for the final stretch of their campaigns.
As special thanks for helping us meet our goal, please check out our latest edition of the House Insider, for insider information on some of our most crucial races nationwide. With your continued support, we will celebrate Barack Obama's victory in November and a larger Democratic Majority in Congress next year to create the profound and lasting change that our country needs.
Onward to a great Democratic victory!
Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House
