Dear Brian,
In the final weeks of a hard-fought, bare-knuckles campaign like this one, the three most important sentences for candidates are:
Get on the air. Stay on the air. Never back down. With the lethal combination of Karl Rove and Freedom's Watch ferociously coming after our Democratic candidates for Congress, they need our help more than ever to get on the air and stay on the air so they can fight back.
The good folks at the DCCC must stay one step ahead of the Karl Rove-Freedom's Watch attack machine. Freedom's Watch is already targeting Democrats with mail, radio, and TV, and has asked for TV rates in more than 15 of our threatened incumbents' districts throughout the country.
That's why we need your help in the next 24 hours to get our candidates on the air. Help our candidates get on the air, stay on the air, and never back down. Give $35, $50, or more to the DCCC's Emergency Media Fund in the next 24 hours, and your gift will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar. Here's how we can make an immediate impact for Democratic candidates locked in the roughest and toughest races in America:
- If a hundred folks like you give just $42 each, our strong Democratic candidate in Alaska, Ethan Berkowitz can reach his entire audience with an ad to bolster his fight to unseat the corrupt GOP incumbent Don Young - right in Sarah Palin's own backyard.
- If a hundred folks like you give just $82 each, we can help Gary Trauner win a district in Wyoming that's been red for dozens of years.
- If you give $35 or $50 right now, it will go toward helping our candidates play their ads a second time to reach even more voters in their districts.
And remember – give in the next 24 hours and every single dollar is matched.
Help our candidates get on the air, stay on the air, and never back down. Give $35, $50, or more to the DCCC's Emergency Media Fund in the next 24 hours, and your gift will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar. In the closing weeks of a campaign like this one, it can cost anywhere from $100,000 to $500,000 for a single candidate to stay on TV for a week. This year there are more than 60 strong Democratic candidates trying to get their messages out while fending off the attack-and-divide politics of Karl Rove and Freedom's Watch.
Give to the DCCC's
Emergency Media Fund in the next 24 hours and you'll help all of our candidates go for broke in these final 53 days to join the Democratic Congress next year and help Barack Obama change America.

P.S. In the closing weeks of a campaign like this one, it can cost up to $500,000 for a single candidate to stay on TV for a week. With Karl Rove and Freedom's Watch coming after our Democratic candidates, we need to fight even harder to keep them on the air.
Give $35, $50, or more to the DCCC's Emergency Media Fund in the next 24 hours, and your gift will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar.
