“Callous” and “Extremists”

New Reid and Gore Democratic fundraising emails come with heated subject lines.

"Callous"

Dear friend,

We are locked in a struggle for America’s soul. Our very values are at risk.

Rick Perry calls Social Security a “monstrous lie.” Paul Ryan dreams of ending Medicare forever. And the Republican response to the thought of an uninsured coma patient? Grisly, callous shouting from the audience.

They want to reverse the steps our country took to care for the sick and prevent our parents and grandparents from living in squalor.

Doing so would fundamentally change America. We simply must fight back.

The Republicans want to ride a wave of frustration to win four Senate seats so they can remake America. Unless you contribute to the DSCC’s $662,000 goal before midnight on Sept. 30, we won’t have the resources to stop them in their tracks.

This country could change forever. Don’t wait to fight for the ideals all of us believe in.

Click here to rush $5 or more to the DSCC before midnight on Sept. 30. The Republicans are four seats away from a total congressional takeover, and it’s up to us to raise $662,000 to beat them back.

Everywhere you look, Republicans are assaulting the very idea that we are our brother’s keeper and that all Americans deserve a certain basic dignity.

The Republicans don’t seem to care that our people don’t have jobs. They refuse to lift a finger to get the economy moving again.

The Republicans don’t seem to care that one in four American children live in poverty. They’re too busy lecturing us about the budget deficit they created while defending huge tax giveaways to the big corporations.

Democrats have always been the party that fights for the middle class – and now is no different. If we’re going to stand up to the special interests, the DSCC needs the grassroots to come through in a big way.

The DSCC is counting on grassroots donors for $662,000 before Sept. 30. Let’s make sure we get there.

I know progress doesn’t always come as quickly as we’d like. But our values will always endure.

Democrats will always be the ones fighting for what’s right for the American people. Republicans will always fight for the super-rich and the big corporations.

Right now, we need you in this fight. Please give whatever you can right away.

Thank you,

Harry Reid

"Extremists"

Friend -

At no time has Democrats’ progress been more threatened than it is now. Single-minded proponents of a dangerous and extremist agenda are working feverishly to roll back every Democratic gain we’ve ever made.

The Tea Partiers now calling the shots in the Republican Party won’t back away from their radical agenda. And they are also exceedingly well funded by corporate backers, thanks to the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision.

It will take an unshakeable commitment from grassroots Democrats like you to guarantee our progress and to continue to move America forward.

That’s why I am asking for your support of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC)’s Million Dollar Matching Gift Campaign before their critical Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising reporting deadline on September 30th.

Contribute $3 or more today and your gift will be matched by House Democrats with two dollars of their own!

Your gift will fund the DCCC’s Rapid Response Network and shine a powerful spotlight on the Tea Party Republicans’ extreme agenda so we can return to the Majority in the U.S. House of Representatives as full partners with President Obama and with Nancy Pelosi as Speaker.

I am making this personal appeal to you because it’s imperative we have a strong FEC filing on September 30th.

We need to deliver proof that the Democratic Party is ready, willing and able to lead the country forward -- with money in the bank and people like you willing to stand and fight.

Contribute $3 or more today and your gift will be matched by House Democrats with two dollars of their own!

Thank you for making the best donation you can.

Sincerely,

Al Gore

P.S. Nancy Pelosi and my friends at the DCCC are working around the clock to stand up to the Republicans’ war on middle class America, but we must have grassroots Democrats like you at our side to return to the Majority.
