Email from Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee. Don't know what to make of it.

This is just unreal –

We have a big, BIG problem on our hands.

All day long, Democratic field offices have reported an unbelievable surge of volunteers pouring in for the last Get Out the Vote door-knocking shifts before Election Day. Some key races are reporting three or four times more people than they expected!

Now, organizers in those same offices expect even MORE volunteers tomorrow – but all the canvassing supplies that were supposed to last through Election Day have been used up!

We urgently need to help local Democrats fill last-minute needs like these. If we don’t meet our goal, then THOUSANDS of volunteers could show up to empty offices!

Requests like these are coming fast and furious, and there's simply no room left in the budget. Can you chip in $10 right now to support all our efforts for Democratic candidates? All gifts will still be TRIPLE-MATCHED until midnight tonight >>



Isn't kind of too late?

1. Perez just now saying 'we've made a massive investment in (I forget.) Hayes show.

This re: Virginia race.

2. It means that they need more money for paper to print canvases packets for GOTV tomorrow.

They should explain this in everyday language not campaign speak.


As a veteran of campaigns in five states. I can translate.

3. Why would take a fundraising letter as a source of relevant information on Party status?

Even with my connections, I get the same junk emails you do; they go right in the spam folder.

[elleng]

4. Because it says: 'We have a big, BIG problem on our hands.' ?

7. I'd say you're an easy mark...

[elleng]

8. I send no one but candidates anything,

but I do try to be aware of what the Dem party and it's affiliates say and do.

Not important? Should EVERYONE ignore?

[brooklynite]

10. Yes..if it's a generic fundraising letter.

I have contacts with each of the Committees, and get my information directly.

5. It could mean sending pizza to campaign offices

Keep in mind that the DLCC is also gearing up to take back legislative seats next year.

6. I get these emails all the time, I wonder triple matched by whom?

[Glorfindel]

9. Undoubtedly by a donor who wishes to remain anonymous.

I would triple-match if I could afford it, but I'd definitely want my name kept quiet. I get enough requests for donations as it is!

[frazzled]

11. Id never heard of the DLCC

And I get emails from scads of Democratic groups. At first I thought you meant the DCCC.

Who knew?

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. Google has lots of links to them.

So they exist, looks like on the state/county level?
