Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is the House Minority Leader. She is expected to be
Speaker of the House if Democrats gain a majority in November.
She wrote an email which was sent today asking for donations to
the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
After years of unbridled corruption and deception, under the pressure of a relentless Democratic surge, the Republican Party is imploding with just over 30 days left before Election Day.
On issue after issue, they have shown they cannot be trusted. Whether it is corruption within their ranks, the truth about what is happening in Iraq and why we are there, or putting the struggles of working families above handouts for their special-interest friends. They have squandered the trust of our nation -- and they know it.
The Republicans are desperate. The only thing they have left to offer is fear. And the fear-mongering is turned up to full volume in congressional races all across the country. Their attacks will get dirtier. Their lies will get more outrageous.
The only question remaining for our Democratic campaigns is whether they will be out-gunned by their hard cash, the profits of a pay-for-play system that has left American families by the wayside.
I ask you to stand up against a Republican Party that has placed their own power above the good of working people, above their civic duty, above the very Constitution they swore to uphold. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) needs to raise $250,000 by October 11th. Stand up and help the DCCC do the work we need to win.

The only chance Republicans have left is to use their massive special interest-funded war chest on Karl Rove's proven "smear and fear" tactics. The Republican National Committee alone will be pouring $60 million into these elections in a last-ditch hope to hold on to their unchecked, one-party rule.
The only way our candidates can stay competitive is if the DCCC has the resources to close the financial gaps in our House campaigns. The DCCC's job is to level the financial playing field and invest money smarter and more effectively than our Republican opponents.

Just as the Republicans cannot be trusted with the future of our country, they cannot be trusted to run anything resembling a fair campaign in these last days. The DCCC will be fighting back blow-for-blow, but they need your help. We cannot let our candidates be overwhelmed by this tidal wave of negative advertising. I ask you to join the fight by contributing all you can.
The pivotal moment is here. In districts across the country, the DCCC is on the air with precision ads exposing every Republican betrayal of their voters. We have the strongest, most inspirational crop of challengers that I can remember, candidates who sincerely want to be public servants for their communities instead of for special-interest cronies.
I've seen firsthand the effects of the hard work of the DCCC. I've visited the districts, and let me tell you, the Republicans have never been up against a force like the DCCC is this year. We will not be out-maneuvered in the final stretch as long as we have the resources to stay competitive. Please join me in helping the DCCC raise $250,000 by October 11th.

Together, we can get this country headed in the right direction. We can strengthen the middle class, expand opportunity, and elect Democrats to provide the principled leadership this country is so desperately seeking.
Sincerely,
Nancy Pelosi
House Democratic Leader
P.S. -- We must win so we will no longer have to be outraged on the sidelines while our ideas, protests, and vision fall on the deaf ears of Republican Leadership. We will have our full say and bring a new agenda and a new direction to the country we love. Contribute now and help the DCCC meet their October 11th goal.
