Sparky's Big Guns Want You To Vote The GOP Bums out!

Sparks, We have only 11 days left to win 15 seats. Your support now could make the difference between us falling short by winning only a few seats... or a long-awaited upheaval with as many as 40 seats. Next Tuesday's election is no longer just an opportunity to win control of Congress, it is an opportunity for sweeping, historic change -- a chance to dramatically repudiate a Republican Congress that hasn't listened, hasn't admitted a single mistake, and hasn't been willing to change course in the face of failure. We only have 11 days left to turn our momentum and opportunity into a victory. Please make a secure 3-to-1 matched online contribution to the DCCC now and be a part of history by helping to take back the House. You've seen the national polls and heard the political pundits -- victory is within reach. But an amazing thing has happened in the last couple of weeks: more Republican scandals combined with a clear, consistent Democratic message of change have led to even more Americans looking for a new direction. As a result, the number of seats we could potentially win has increased fourfold. Four times the number of winnable seats -- that's an incredible opportunity, but it's also an incredible responsibility. Right now, leaders at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) are making the final, tough decisions of where to invest limited resources and where to deploy additional field organizers in our last all-out push to ensure victory next Tuesday. Please make a secure 3-to-1 matched online contribution to the DCCC now and be a part of history by helping to take back the House. With four times more winnable races than we expected, those decisions can mean the difference between a close victory or a narrow loss in dozens of districts. We can make those decisions easier by ensuring the DCCC has enough resources. If you and every committed Democrat make as generous a gift as you possibly can to the DCCC, we can be sure that not one of our candidates loses for a lack of resources. Please make a secure 3-to-1 matched online contribution to the DCCC now and be a part of history by helping to take back the House. The outcome of these elections will have profound effects on the lives of all Americans. Whether it is the threat to the global environment or the erosion of America's leadership in the world, whether it is the challenge to our economy from new competitors or the challenge to our security from new enemies, we need new leadership that is both strong and wise. The beauty and genius of our system of government is that when policies are clearly not working, we can change them. If our leaders fail to meet their obligations, we can hold them accountable. If our nation is on the wrong path, we can set it in a new direction. Americans know this, and that is why the tide has shifted in our favor. Now Democratic House candidates must maintain their momentum to win. If you haven't taken the time to make a contribution, volunteer for a campaign or made sure your friends and neighbors are registered to vote -- now is your time to do it. Please make a secure 3-to-1 matched online contribution to the DCCC now and be a part of history by helping to take back the House. I won't have time to write you again before Election Day. And you won't have a better opportunity to influence a historic election for a long time. Don't wake up on November 8th, pick up the paper or turn on the TV, and say, "I wish I did just a little bit more." Don't let good poll numbers lull you into a false sense of complacency. You don't need me to tell you that national polls do not determine the outcome, voters do. And there's no better way to move voters than to support the DCCC's final push. Please make a secure 3-to-1 matched online contribution to the DCCC now and be a part of history by helping to take back the House. The need for new leadership could not be clearer. The opportunity for change could not be greater. And what we do right now can make all the difference. I hope I can count on your support. Sincerely, Al Gore FORWARD OUR MESSAGE TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY HELP DEMOCRATS WIN THE HOUSE

11 Days Left We Are Counting On You Soldier, Those guys in the White House and their Republican buddies in Congress are telling us to sit down, shut up and 'stay the course' - well, I'm not going to. And I don't think you will either. We've only got 11 days to go until Election Day. If you're as disgusted as I am, then you need to get involved in this election today. You can and will make a difference. Everyone wants a stable Iraq, but victory is a goal not a strategy. Democrats are united behind the fight against terrorism. Democrats are united behind our troops. Democrats are united behind a strong America. Now, let's show them that Democrats are united behind winning this election. I am doing everything I can to support the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's (DCCC) efforts to win a Democratic majority. Today, I'm asking you to do the same. The DCCC is dedicated to working day and night to elect a Democratic majority in the U.S. House of Representatives this November. We only have 22 days left and are running out of time. I know you have been following this election closely and that you know just how high the stakes are. Today, one of the best actions you can take to help win in November is to make a secure online contribution to the DCCC. Can I count on you to help our Democratic candidates by giving to the DCCC? Make a secure online contribution of $35, $50 or more to the DCCC now. The war in Iraq is not going as advertised. It is a flawed policy wrapped in illusion, when what America wants and deserves is accountability and a real plan. It has become increasingly clear that the only thing we're going to get out of the White House and the Republicans in Congress are rosy scenarios and political slogans. Our troops deserve answers, not spin. 'Stay the course' is not a plan and it is not a solution to the quagmire the Bush administration has created in Iraq. Even as the British Army Chief is calling for their troops to leave Iraq because their presence is making things worse, our Army is drawing up blueprints to keep ours there through 2010. Crying "cut and run" and calling Democrats "defeatist" will not silence the critics of Bush's failed foreign policy. Democrats recognize that we're headed for a far greater disaster in Iraq if we don't change course - and soon. That is something the Bush ideologues know very little about -- realism! In these last few weeks there is one thing we can count on and that is that the GOP attacks are only going to get more malicious. Republicans have said in recent days that they are preparing to lose seats, and indeed the results could fall anywhere between seven and thirty seats. Whether the DCCC has the resources to put our candidates across the finish line, or they fall just short, will depend on whether they can compete financially. And that depends on YOU and the thousands of other people who are committed to win this November. Make a secure online contribution of $35, $50 or more to the DCCC now. Despite objections from a majority of Americans, Iraqis and most world public opinion, and in the face of a deteriorating situation, this administration's insistence on a "go-it-alone, stay-the-course" policy defies logic. Karl Rove may have another name for it, but can anyone living in the real world deny that we are heading in the wrong direction? I have served in Congress for 17 terms and I have many friends on the other side of the aisle. But my Republican Rubber Stamp friends who are insisting to 'stay the course' -- have it all wrong, and so my dear friends, we are forced to fight this war on two fronts. One is to combat the spin and intimidation that defines this administration and the Republican Congress. The other is to fight to change course, to do things better and demand answers and accountability. We will stay in this fight until the end, and we will win. But we need your help. We must begin the new Congress with a clarion call to substitute slogans with strategy in Iraq. Democrats will put policy before politics and will provide the new direction we desperately need. We must stop Bush's irresponsible policies now. We need a new direction. Today, I am asking you to make the additional action of giving a gift to help our candidates win in November. I would not ask if it were not so critical. Please give to the DCCC today. We are counting on your support! Make a secure online contribution of $35, $50 or more to the DCCC now. Sincerely, Jack Murtha Member of Congress, Pennsylvania's 12th District P.S. -- The Bush policy in Iraq has been one plagued with surprises, errors and inaction - resulting in the quagmire we are faced with today. Bush and his policy makers are to blame for the situation in Iraq being a quagmire yet he refuses to hold those responsible accountable. With all the money and loss of lives we are expending in Iraq today, we can no longer afford surprises. We need to take control of our destiny in Iraq, and a Democratic majority is the only hope for that. Make a secure online contribution of $35, $50 or more to the DCCC now.

Fellow InterNet Pioneer, Just 11 days left to win a Democratic Majority. Act now and your contribution will be triple matched If there's one thing I know for certain it's this: if the election were held today, Democrats would have the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. If you are like me, you have struggled with your outrage as the Bush administration has repeatedly and brazenly broken the law, politicized independent federal agencies, and treated with utter contempt the American people looking for leadership. What is worse, George W. Bush's Rubber Stamp Republican Congress doesn't dare to challenge any policy or even take the time to ask the tough questions to which all of us deserve the answers. We don't have to wait much longer but we need to act now. In less than 11 days, voters nationwide will cast their ballots for a new direction for America. The actions we take -- or do not take -- will determine whether we win or lose in November. We simply cannot afford not to act. Please act today. Make a secure triple matched contribution of $35, $50 or more today and help Democratic House candidates win in November. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is leading the effort to win a Democratic majority in the House and has set a goal to raise $2.5 million by Monday, October 16th in order to execute the next phase of their strategy. With only days remaining in the campaign, it is more critical than ever that each one of us do what we can to ensure victory in November. I told my good friends at the DCCC that they have my support and I am hoping that they now have yours. This goal is so important that the Democratic House Leadership have pledged to extend their September 30th matching campaign and match every dollar contributed online through October 16th with three of their own, effectively giving you four times the impact. I know you have been following this election closely and that you know how high the stakes are in this election. Today, the best action you can take to help Democrats win in November is to help the DCCC reach their goal. Will you help by making a matched contribution? Make a secure triple matched contribution of $35, $50 or more today and help Democratic House candidates win in November. For all these years, Democratic attempts to change the direction of this nation have met unyielding Republican opposition. Democrats have been dismissed, attacked, even had our patriotism questioned. We simply cannot afford two more years of a Bush administration unchecked by Congress. If Democrats take the majority in the House, we will put families first and shift the direction of our nation. The good news is that we have the candidates to make that majority a reality. In fact, the campaign strategists at the DCCC tell me that the number of competitive races is almost twice what was anticipated just a few short months ago. But, Democratic Party leaders are getting ready to face the tough decisions about which races to invest stretched resources in, and in which races to pull back, if necessary. The DCCC needs your help to make those choices easier at this point in the campaign -- the tide is shifting in our favor and our candidates must maintain their momentum to win. If you and every committed Democrat make as generous a gift as you possibly can to the DCCC, we can be sure that not one of our candidates loses for a lack of resources. Please take advantage of this extended matching opportunity. Make a secure triple matched contribution of $35, $50 or more today and help Democratic House candidates win in November. These "new direction Democrats" are going to need all the help they can get to go toe-to-toe with Karl Rove, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and their ruthless Republican operatives. We've already begun to see the malicious, misleading and distortion-filled attack ads that are filling the air waves in these closing weeks of the campaign. Winning a Democratic House majority is my top priority in 2006 and we can only do it if we make sure that we can counter their massive smear campaign. Can I count on you to stand with me in this critical battle for America's future? Make a secure triple matched contribution of $35, $50 or more today and help Democratic House candidates win in November. Capturing the majority in the House, where I served for eight years, is America's best hope for changing course and setting a new direction for our country. A Democratic majority in Congress means a progressive energy policy that works to dramatically reduce greenhouse gases that cause global warming and lower prescription drug costs. A Democratic majority means raising the minimum wage for millions of Americans; it means oversight and checks and balances on a foreign policy that has spun completely out of control. And it means an economy that works for all Americans, not just a privileged few. Today, I am asking you to make the additional action of giving a gift to help our Democratic candidates win in November. I would not ask if it were not so critical. I know I can count on your help in this historic fight. Join me, the DCCC and Democrats nationwide as we take America in a new direction. Sincerely, Al Gore P.S. - All the hard work we've put into winning the House will mean nothing if we can't fully fund our candidates in the closing weeks of the campaign. Make a secure triple matched contribution of $35, $50 or more today and help Democratic House candidates win in November. FORWARD OUR MESSAGE TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY HELP DEMOCRATS WIN THE HOUSE

Contribute NOW Sparky, The stakes have never been higher. The opportunity has never been greater. In fewer than 15 days, we have the opportunity to send America in a new direction and elect leaders who will bring the change this nation desperately needs. The governing philosophy of the Republicans leading America today could be described as divide and conquer. Time after time, when faced with critical opportunities to bring Americans together in common purpose, Republicans in Congress chose instead to exploit wedge issues that divide America, foster fear, and promote insecurity. We can put an end to this cynical governing philosophy. But doing that requires electing a Democratic Congress and requires supporting the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). You have been an important activist this year in helping to elect a Democratic majority. Today, I am asking you to take that activism a step further and contribute. House Democratic leaders are committed to winning the majority. Democratic House members are willing to match any contribution you make by midnight, September 30th, three-to-one. Please take advantage of this opportunity and give a gift today. Make a secure contribution right now and your gift will have three times more the impact. Give $35, $50 or more. No single group of people has a monopoly on morality. No one party has the best ideas on how to keep us safe. Yet, a small group of people does have a monopoly on power in our government. And they've used that monopoly to prevent a true debate on how to grow the economy, to clean up and reform the political process and to protect our nation. Each day brings greater evidence that America is ready for a new day. Democrats have fresh ideas, progressive solutions, and a new direction for America. Expanding health care, making college education an opportunity for everybody, energy independence, and a raise in the minimum wage - when you hear talk of a "new direction," this is what we're talking about. But none of those things will become reality without a Democratic majority. Make a secure contribution right now and your gift will have three times more the impact. Give $35, $50 or more. I have been campaigning non-stop with Democratic candidates all across America and will continue to do so through Election Day. The new direction we are offering is resonating with the American people. They are tired of hearing leaders sing the praises of an economic recovery that doesn't feel like one. They are tired of a government that gives more to those who already have the most. They are disheartened by leaders who have put personal gain before the public good. They know that America can be better. And they are looking for Democrats to lead the way. We have the dynamic candidates. I've met them. We have the ideas. I know them. What we need are the resources to make sure people meet the candidates and hear the ideas. Make a secure contribution right now and your gift will have three times more the impact. Give $35, $50 or more. I was proud to serve as President of the United States. But there is no title I wear more proudly than that of American citizen. And so, as a citizen, I ask you to get involved. I ask you to shake off the feelings of cynicism and disappointment you've felt these past six years and commit to building a new and renewed majority. I ask you to give of yourself - your time, your money, your energy - to make that happen. I ask you again to support the candidates who best express your hopes and dreams. Because if you do those things, I know that come Election Day, we will usher in a better day for this nation. Today, I am asking you to make the additional action of giving a gift to impact the results of the election. I would not ask if it were not so critical. We can win in November. We must win in November. I'm counting on you. Sincerely, Bill Clinton PS: Please send your matching contribution ASAP. The right-wing will be coming after our candidates a lot harder than they've been coming after me, and Democrats will need all the help they can get. Please be as generous as you can. Thank you. Make a secure contribution right now and your gift will have three times more the impact. Give $35, $50 or more. FORWARD OUR MESSAGE TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY HELP DEMOCRATS WIN THE HOUSE

Thanks to a special matching fund, your response to Republican "Swiftboat-style" attacks can have triple the impact. MAKE A MATCHING GIFT NOW! Dear Sparky: Like clockwork, here they come again. According to news reports, Bob Perry, the Texas millionaire who bankrolled the so-called "Swiftboat Veterans for Truth" is up to his old tricks. He's spending $5 million dollars under the radar screen to launch a new GOP attack group called the "Economic Freedom Fund." Their first attack ads against Democratic House candidates are already on the air. They hope they've caught you sleeping. We have to respond quickly and in force. Help the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) stand behind Democratic candidates under attack. Contribute $35, $50 or more right now and your gift goes three times further with the DCCC's Matching Fund. The Republicans think their attack ads can make America forget their disastrous policy in Iraq. They think their tough-guy posturing can make us forget that their "cut and run" policies in Afghanistan have left Osama bin Laden at large. But, the American people know, deep down in their guts, that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest have failed our nation with their stunning incompetence and their willingness to act in ways that undermine our values. All the political attacks in the world can't save them. Not if we're willing to stand firmly behind our candidates. I know you are following this election closely, and you know how important what we do now is to November. This is the time to act. If you take that extra step today and contribute to the DCCC now, your gift will be matched three-to-one, tripling the impact of your determination to win. Contribute $35, $50 or more right now and your gift goes three times further with the DCCC's Matching Fund. Thanks to the commitment of Democratic leaders in the House, your contribution will be matched three-to-one, tripling the impact of your response to Republican attempts to overwhelm our candidates with vicious attacks in the final weeks of this campaign. I've been campaigning with Democratic candidates all across the country. Believe me, the American people are hearing our message. They want an end to the Bush Administration's failed policies in Iraq. They want to fire the incompetents, end the corruption, and stop the alarming abuses of power. It's time - way past time - to move America in a new, more promising direction. And you and I have to refuse to let the desperate, deceitful campaign tactics of the Republican front groups get in our way. Contribute $35, $50 or more right now and your gift goes three times further with the DCCC's Matching Fund. Believe me, I know what our candidates are going through. And I know how much it will mean to them to know that we're absolutely determined to pull them through to victory. Please consider taking that extra step today with a financial contribution. It can make a big difference. Sincerely, John Kerry P.S. Knowing that your gift will be tripled in value thanks to the DCCC's Matching Fund, I hope you will be especially generous. Thanks so much.
