[Davis Democrats] Voluntary action opportunity: Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee

[John Chendo]

Dear members of Davis Democratic Club: News regarding the U.S.Senate
campaign for election in November 2012.  Former U.S. Senator,  Governor, and
wounded Viet Nam Veteran Bob Kerrey is running for his old Senate seat from
Nebraska,hopefully  to replace retiring Democratic U.S. Senator Ben Nelson.
And moderate Republican U.S. Senator from Maine, Olympia Snowe, is retiring.
Our U.S. Senate majority is a crucial bulwark against bad legislation coming
through the Tea Party-mad House.

 I know if feels like every election people are talking about how high the
stakes are -- however -- after more than 20 years working as a democratic
strategist I can honestly say this time the stakes are higher than ever.

I know it feels like every election, people are talking about how high the
stakes are. However -- after more than 20 years working as a Democratic
strategist, I can honestly say this time the stakes are higher than ever.
 
 You've seen the Republican agenda at work -- trying to take away basic
health care for women, Medicare as we know it away from our seniors and even
food aid away from our kids! And that's just the beginning of the changes
they want to make to the safety net. 
 
 We've already gotten a glimpse of the carpet bombing of ugly tricks --
disgusting ads, whisper campaigns and mailers full of lies --  yet to come
from Karl Rove and Company. They have and are prepared to spend tons of cash
-- whatever it takes -- to take down President Obama and flip the four
Senate seats they need to take control.
 
 We tried it their way -- with disastrous consequences. We've got to keep
fighting their "you're on your own" mentality and restore American values of
fundamental fairness. The DSCC¹s end-of-quarter FEC deadline is only 6 days
away. They¹re still $690,000 short. This is the absolute minimum we need to
go toe-to-toe with the right-wing SuperPACs.
 
 Click here to give an immediate $25 or $50 to the DSCC. They have only 6
days left to raise the $690,000 needed to go toe-to-toe with Karl Rove!

 Because they know they can't win on their failed ideas, the GOP is trying
to use dirty tactics -- like making it harder for people to vote in numerous
states across the country.  They've targeted older people, younger people
and people of color -- directly attacking our democracy and the right of
every American to have their say in the election. We are not going to let
them get away with it.
 
 One of the most important things you can do is to support the DSCC. We know
it¹s going to take a massive voter outreach plan to counter them, and that¹s
just one part of what the DSCC does. When Republicans attack and smear us in
ads, the DSCC is right there to push back with the truth. When Republicans
lie about our Democratic candidates, the DSCC knows about it and fights
back. When we work together, Karl Rove is no match for the Democratic
grassroots.
 
 Will you please join me in supporting the DSCC with a gift of $25 or $50?
There are only 6 days left until their crucial end-of-quarter FEC deadline,
and they¹re still $690,000 short.

 With the stakes this high, we can¹t afford to wait for the full Karl Rove
effect. Let¹s hit this FEC goal, defend President Obama and our Democratic
Senate, and stop the Republican assault on our American values.
