Three Congressional Races Crucial for Democrats to Retake The House

Dear XXXXX,

I am writing today to ask you to support three candidates who are contesting seats crucial to winning back the House.  They are fighters who value the Constitution and public service more than the politics of personal gain.  These three have run terrific campaigns.  What they lack is the millions of dollars that their opponents have raised from big money interests and right wing organizations.

John Cranley, Ohio's First District
John Cranley is running on a message for change that is resonating deeply with Ohio voters.  His record of bipartisan reform on the Cincinnati City Council is being welcomed by voters as a contrast to the corruption and scandal surrounding Ohio Republicans in Columbus and Washington.  John is running in Ken Blackwell's hometown, against an extremist Republican who has over $1 million to spend on ads distorting Cranley's distinguished service on the City Council.

Jerry McNerney, California's 11th District
Environmental groups such as the League of Conservation Voters, Sierra Club, and Defenders of Wildlife are heavily involved in this race, and Jerry McNerney continues to hit the Republican incumbent, Richard Pombo, for his record on the environment as chairman of the Resources Committee.  McNerney has been endorsed by nearly every local union and local Democratic group, and has attracted such widespread grassroots support that he will reach more than 50,000 voters on Election Day.

Larry Kissell, North Carolina's Eight District
After 27 years working in a textile plant, Larry witnessed the disturbing trend of plants closing to ship jobs overseas.  He realized that the next generation simply wouldn't have the same opportunities waiting for them upon graduation that his generation enjoyed, and changed careers to become an educator.  After teaching young students about our founding principles and the Constitution, Kissell realized how far off course our country had strayed from the Founders' intentions and is running for Congress to restore the integrity of these principles. Donate Today

These are three exceptional candidates that have done tremendous work readying their campaigns for the final push to November 7th.  What they need now is financial support in order to respond to their Republican opponents' barrage of negative ads.  Please help today if you are able. 

Thank you once again for your commitment to a better democracy.
Your Friend,

John Conyers, Jr.

3. Shit! Nobody has these as competitive.

If Conyers is promoting these races, there's something he must know that the pundits don't know. This is good news.

More! More! We need more House seats!!!

All you can eat, Baby!
