Avalanche from Chris VanHollen
Ellen --


This is the moment of truth for the American people.

Secretive Republican front groups just announced plans for a $50 million ad buy. They're trying to bury our Democratic candidates under an avalanche of negative attack ads. Anonymous donors to shadowy special interest front groups are literally trying to buy a Congress that will fill their pocketbooks at the expense of the the rest of the nation.

America is not for sale. And, if we stand together and fight back, their plan won't work.

Tonight at midnight is the deadline for sending to the field the funds we need to counter these attacks with our next round of campaign ads. We're just $41,466 short of our Rapid Respond Fund goal and your contribution of $100 or more can help put us over the top.

Contribute right now to fully fund our October Rapid Response Fund and every dollar you give will be matched with $2.00 by a group of committed Democrats.

We're running ads in 65 districts around the country. And we have field directors and organizers in 75 more. But, we need to step up our air campaign to more districts and we need to expand our Get-Out-the-Vote efforts right now during these critical closing weeks of the campaign.

Recent polls show the tide is turning. Our candidates are digging in and fighting back. But our Republican opponents are now benefiting from huge amounts of cash from secretive special interests and powerful corporations that support the outsourcing of U.S. jobs overseas.

That's why I'm asking for your immediate support of our Rapid Response Fund today.

Contribute right now to fully fund our October Rapid Response Fund and every dollar you give will be matched with $2.00 by a group of committed Democrats.

This is our moment. Help us fight back.


Chris Van Hollen
DCCC Chairman

P.S. In just a few hours we have to wire money for our next round of campaign ads. Please rush your contribution right now to support this critical ad buy. Thank you. Contribute Now.

1. The house is where good legislation comes to life
and the house is what is in real jeopardy here.
