**GIVE UNTIL IT HURTS!!!!!**
Edited on Wed Oct-18-06 08:49 AM by nomad1776
As the Washington Post article says, we have a chance to put an end to Republican revolution. However the Dems are short of $$$$$$. They need $$$ to make more races competative. I just gave another $100 to the DCCC, who are the ones that can expand the number of races that the Dems could win back seats.

PEOPLE! LET'S NOT PASS UP THIS ONCE IN A LIFE TIME CHANCE! GIVE UNTIL IT HURTS!!!

http://www.dccc.org/

Democrats said private polls have convinced top party officials that they could pick up 40 or more seats -- nearly double their internal projections from a week ago -- if they spend enough money on television advertising for long-shot races. Strategists James Carville and Stan Greenberg are among those pleading with party leaders to go deep into debt to run ads in as many as 50 GOP-held districts.

Republican Leaders Have Failed Us

We have to take power out of the Republicans’ hands and take America in a new direction. Contribute today to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the official campaign arm of the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives and your contribution will be matched 3-to-1 by Democratic House Leadership for every dollar contributed online through October 20th, effectively giving you four times the impact.

2. Desperate need for $$$
DNC Takes Out Loan For DSCC

...While the DNC doesn't have $10M to just toss around to another campaign committee, the DNC apparently has decided to go into debt to come up with the extra cash DSCC Chair Chuck Schumer has been pleading for from DNC Chair Howard Dean. The actual amount of the loan the DNC is taking out is not known as the committee holds out hope they can raise nearly everything they need before the election. But a line of credit has been opened...

This is a critical election and they need you now more than ever.

3. We have thousands of people here
If we all give another $10 - $100+ we could make a REAL difference. No more just talking about how crappy the repukes are, we could end their reign of terror.

11. I strongly dislike the DCCC - but I donated because 3:1 is damned good...
The House Leadership dips into their pockets to kick in bigtime.

And, still, I am terribly unsettled...

13. What IndyOp said.
3:1 is damn good. So I gave to that, and also to my local Crongress-critter challenger: Charlie Brown (oh, GOOD GRIEF!). He's running against John Doolittle, a stereotypical Republican slime-ball on the take from Abramoff.

Give 'til it hurts, and give a little more to your local guy!

:kick: & R!

16. Advice from Carville? No thanks.
Edited on Wed Oct-18-06 10:19 PM by OzarkDem
I'm not so sure borrowing is a good idea. I have to think about it.

Evidence is already turning up of massive purging of voter lists in Ohio, etc. What if the GOP pulls enough stunts on election day to limit Dem victories, leaving us with a pile of debt?

Sorry, I don't trust any advice from Carville.

19. While House Democrats running unopposed sit on $26,288,418?
I have a tough time donating when party members are holding out on members of their own party.

I'll donate towards election fruad as previously suggested before I give the DSCC any of my hard earned cash. When the Democrats can all play TOGETHER, I'll reconsider.
