message from James Carville
John Kerry versus George Bush. I can hardly wait for the second debate tonight. But for you and me, watching won't get it done. We've got to act by helping John Kerry and the Democratic Party reach a difficult goal by midnight.

It's the first of three critical "make or break" October deadlines for our campaign. If we want to win, we won't let the clock strike twelve without reaching our $5 million goal to put more ads on the air.

Tomorrow morning, key decision makers are going to sit down and figure out the next steps for our TV ads. I need you to make sure that they can make these decisions based on strategy and not financial constraints.

In order to make these decisions based on strategy alone, the Democratic Party must raise that $5 million on the Internet by midnight tonight. We are almost there, so help put us over the top.

Look, I know that people like me ask you to make contributions all the time. But over the next few weeks, we have to pull out all the stops or we will live to regret it.

I'm not talking about a pinch of remorse or a brief moment of regret. I'm talking about four long years of kicking ourselves because we let George Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Republicans hold on to power.

Right now, this election is closer than it was in 2000. Whichever side wants victory more, whichever party approaches the final weeks of this campaign with the clearer focus and deeper sense of determination will win.

Four years ago, we fell short of victory by only a handful of votes. Just a few more contributions from just a few more Americans, who meant to act but never did, could have carried Florida for Al Gore and written a very different chapter in the history of our nation.

Again, tonight is the first of three important deadlines and we need you to help get our ads on the air. Don't wake up on November 3 wondering if you had done enough.

Sincerely,
James Carville

3. "Don't wake up on November 3 wondering if you had done enough."
applies not only to donations.

While Carville speaks of donations, my position is:

If you can't donate, please volunteer.

If you can donate, also please volunteer.

"America Coming Together" is a get-out-the-vote organization.
