Use It Or Lose It: A Call for Action From the Netroots

Call safe Democratic Representatives in your state and ask them to give 30% of their campaign funds to Democratic challengers and / or party committees!

Tips for good calls
1. Be Polite
2. Be prepared for pushback
3. Tell them that this is an extraordinary situation because so many Republican seats are in play
4. Tell them that other Democrats have given more than 30%
5- Give them a way to contact you when they decide how much to pledge
6. Only call Democrats in your home state

You can report your calling experience at: http://pol.moveon.org/use_it/

Kennedy, Kerry donate $1 million to Democratic campaign committees
October 25,2006
BOSTON (AP) - Senators Edward Kennedy and John Kerry are tapping their sizable campaign warchests in an effort to elect a Democratic Congress.

The Massachusetts Democrats donated 500-thousand dollars apiece, half to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and half to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Each works on behalf of the party to elect members to the respective chambers.
