Did anyone else receive an e-mail from Courage Campaign - Are you angry now

[Hawaii Hiker]

I sure am...


"I am very angry.

One month ago, your amazing activism killed a right-wing dirty trick to steal the White House in 2008. This unprecedented ballot initiative -- robbing 20 Electoral College votes from California for the GOP's presidential nominee -- collapsed under intense pressure from the grassroots and netroots.

So, why am I angry? Well, as the Los Angeles Times reports, a ghoulish gang of out-of-state Republican donors and consultants is bringing this dirty trick back from the dead, just in time for Halloween.

But there's another reason why I am upset about this devious Republican power grab: Progressives are now being forced to fight a two-front war in California with right-wing extremist outsiders spending millions to battle us on the ballot -- and on the border.

As you may know, after the first dirty trick died, I dedicated our staff and budget to a very time and resource-intensive campaign -- helping the people of Potrero block Blackwater's planned mercenary base in San Diego County. And now, with the dirty trick rising from the grave, our organization's finances are stretched thin and our staff is maxed out.

Let me be blunt: We need your immediate financial support to beat back Blackwater AND this new cabal of dirty tricksters. Can you dig deep and donate $20, $50, or $100 or more by Sunday, November 4? Your contribution will help us reach our mission-critical goal of 1,000 "NoDirtyTricks" donors on ActBlue:

While I am not the least bit shocked by this new dirty trick, I am very angry that Karl Rove's cronies are forcing it on the people of California again.

The desperation of these right-wing consultants would be laughable if they weren't so frighteningly effective at stealing elections. Just like they did in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004, they want to steal the presidency in California in 2008. And the consequences could be catastrophic for our country and the world.

Iraq. Iran. Global warming. Health care. Civil liberties. The Supreme Court.

The next President of the United States will fundamentally change the course of human history. That's why these desperate right-wingers are hell-bent on subverting the Electoral College rules to lock down the White House for decades".


The next President of the United States will fundamentally change the course of human history.

The next President of the United States will fundamentally change the course of human history.

:scared: :scared: As important as I thought the 2004 election was, well, 2008 is even MORE significant!...
