Email from John Edwards - DSCC Donations TRIPLED thru June 30

[Triana]

I expect this will get poo-poo'd all to Hell but honestly if you want a WORKABLE Dem Majority in the Senate, well, just consider it at least. Your contrib might help. And right now, it'll be TRIPLED. And you KNOW John is right...

Dear XXXX,

They were the three biggest steps towards fairness and equality in 20th century America.

Franklin Roosevelt gave us the New Deal and Lyndon Johnson gave us Medicare and the Civil Rights Act.

But that's only half the story.

The other half is that the historic legislation those presidents signed emerged from Senates that had overwhelming Democratic majorities, far bigger than the narrow one-seat majority we hold today.

In 2008, we must combine taking back the White House with electing a new wave of Democratic Senators committed to bringing our troops home from Iraq, universal health care and aggressive action on climate change. I know you believe in this mission. You've helped us win Senate races before.

But these momentous changes won't happen unless we once again get behind the DSCC's efforts to create a gridlock-proof Democratic majority. During this critical election year, helping the DSCC meet their $2.25 million goal ensures that we'll have the money, manpower and voter outreach to triumph in November.

This goal is so important that a group of Democratic senators will match your contribution two-to-one if you give by June 30.

Strong Democratic Senate majorities are even more important now than they were in the past, because the Republicans have decided they have zero interest in cooperating.

In 2007, the Republican Senate filibustered more bills than any Congress in U.S. history.

They blocked bills that would've repealed egregious tax breaks for oil companies, allowed Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for seniors, and forced President Bush to begin troop withdrawals from Iraq.

You understand that the stakes are simply too high for America for this to continue. The DSCC knows how to elect Democratic Senators who will create a strong enough Senate majority to overcome even the most strident Republican obstruction.

Your renewed support for the DSCC means you're getting behind a rapid reaction team that knows exactly when and where your money can make the greatest difference. Months before the election in 2006, the DSCC knew the Montana Senate race would be a nail-biter, which is why they set aside almost $3 million for a last-minute push that helped Democrat Jon Tester win by 3,562 votes. That fateful decision cemented Democrat's one-seat Senate majority and that's why your help is so important now. A contribution in this critical election year helps the DSCC beat its second quarter fundraising deadline and ensures our Democratic candidates will have everything and anything they need to win in November.

Click here to make a contribution of $50, $75 or more to help the DSCC beat its critical second quarter fundraising deadline and put us one step closer to a gridlock-proof Democratic Senate majority.

The elections that will take place in five short months will be our chance, a rare and historic opportunity to build a Democratic coalition that can truly create a more inclusive, prosperous and just America.

We have no time to waste. We need your renewed commitment now, as we enter the home stretch to Election Day.

Sincerely,


John Edwards

1. I gave $50 a few days ago

I am going to give another $50-100 before June 30th and probably a few hundred more before election time. Alot of what I give to senators though is through actBlue so my money doesn't go to DINOs.

I know the dems in congress aren't perfect by any means, but they are light years better than the GOP. And I will take a dem senate with 57+ seats because after that, then we can work on ousting the DINOs during primary season.

Its sad the DSCC is only raising a few million a month (maybe $5 million a month) when Obama & Hillary were raising $80+ a month.

2. Not if they're going to vote for that crap FISA law.

If we fight to elect them only to get idiots who give immunity to companies that go against the Constitution, I'm not giving them any money.
