Senator Kerry writes:Their names are Paul, Carol, Tammy, Ed and Mike. They hold the future of the House of Representatives in their hands -- and with one final act of will, you can pull them through to victory next Tuesday.
The final week of this dramatic campaign is almost here. And these five House candidates need one last, powerful infusion of funds to push their way past a vicious final week assault from running-scared Republicans.
That's why we're issuing this emergency candidate alert.
https://www.democrats.org/page/contribute/figtingdems I know how much I've asked of you -- and how energetically you've responded. We've got to stay on the case for one more week. The Republicans are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at our candidates. We can't yield an inch -- not now. Not with victory at hand.
RUSH HELP TO OUR EMERGENCY SLATE OF HOUSE CANDIDATES!
https://www.democrats.org/page/contribute/figtingdems Two of our candidates are running in New Hampshire. In the NH-01 district, Carol Shea-Porter has mobilized an army of active, fired-up volunteers to take on an attack campaign run by a close ally of Karl Rove. And in NH-02, Democrat Paul Hodes is facing a merciless barrage of special interest-funded attack ads.
With your support, Paul and Carol can make both New Hampshire and the House of Representatives blue next Tuesday. But they've got to have your immediate support now.
RUSH HELP TO OUR EMERGENCY SLATE OF HOUSE CANDIDATES!
https://www.democrats.org/page/contribute/figtingdems Our third emergency slate candidate is Tammy Duckworth, running in Illinois' 6th district. Our community helped Tammy --- a brave veteran who lost her legs serving in Iraq --- get her campaign off to a strong start back in March. Now, with a week to go, we're going to see her across the finish line.
Also relying on your last-minute backing is Ed Perlmutter, running for an open seat in Colorado that is currently held by the Republicans. His opponent: a radical conservative for whom President Bush has raised over $600,000. Completing our emergency slate of House candidates, Mike Arcuri -- a D.A. who has worked tirelessly to fight crime in New York -- is facing a series of Republican Party ads that lie so flagrantly about Mike's character and record that even his opponent has disavowed them.
RUSH HELP TO OUR EMERGENCY SLATE OF HOUSE CANDIDATES!
https://www.democrats.org/page/contribute/figtingdems We're in the every-moment-counts stage of this campaign. The sooner your gift arrives, the quicker our candidates can put it to work in the final make-or-break days of these elections.
Act now. Act quickly. Go big.
John Kerry
I guess my intuition was acting up because I posted my Simon and Garfunkle "Boxer" lyrics with graphics YESTERDAY, to help this very worthy cause. Maybe he thought I should post one for those who lack High-Speed connections.
