Remember the Swift Boat Attacks?

Dear GV,

Like clockwork, here they come again. According to news reports, Bob Perry, the Texas millionaire who bankrolled the so-called "Swiftboat Veterans for Truth" is up to his old tricks. He's spending $5 million dollars under the radar screen to launch a new GOP attack group called the "Economic Freedom Fund."

Their first attack ads against Democratic House candidates are already on the air. They hope they've caught you sleeping. We have to respond quickly and in force. Help the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) stand behind Democratic candidates under attack.

Contribute $35, $50 or more right now and your gift goes three times further with the DCCC's Matching Fund.

The Republicans think their attack ads can make America forget their disastrous policy in Iraq. They think their tough-guy posturing can make us forget that their "cut and run" policies in Afghanistan have left Osama bin Laden at large. But, the American people know, deep down in their guts, that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest have failed our nation with their stunning incompetence and their willingness to act in ways that undermine our values.

All the political attacks in the world can't save them. Not if we're willing to stand firmly behind our candidates. This is the time to act and I know you have been a strong activist with the DCCC and your support has a made a difference but today, there is one action you can take, that can make a real impact in the tightest and closest races. If you contribute now, your gift will be matched three-to-one, tripling the impact of your determination to win.

Contribute $35, $50 or more right now and your gift goes three times further with the DCCC's Matching Fund.

Thanks to the commitment of Democratic leaders in the House, your contribution will be matched three-to-one, tripling the impact of your response to Republican attempts to overwhelm our candidates with vicious attacks in the final weeks of this campaign.

I've been campaigning with Democratic candidates all across the country. Believe me, the American people are hearing our message. They want an end to the Bush Administration's failed policies in Iraq. They want to fire the incompetents, end the corruption, and stop the alarming abuses of power.

It's time - way past time - to move America in a new, more promising direction. And you and I have to refuse to let the desperate, deceitful campaign tactics of the Republican front groups get in our way.

Believe me, I know what our candidates are going through. And I know how much it will mean to them to know that we're absolutely determined to pull them through to victory. Please consider taking that extra step today with a financial contribution and let's pull them through to victory together.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

P.S. Knowing that your gift will be tripled in value thanks to the DCCC's Matching Fund, I hope you will be especially generous. Thanks so much.

Dear GV,

There are only 48 days left until you and other Pennsylvania voters go to the polls to make decisions that will shape your state, your country, and your world.

Before you give our candidates your vote, I'm hoping you'll give them your time.

I'm writing because Bob Casey needs your volunteer support in his down-to-the-wire race against Republican incumbent Senator Rick Santorum, a Bush rubber stamp who votes with the President 98% of the time... because Ed Rendell deserves your help in his gubernatorial reelection campaign... and because strong House candidates across Pennsylvania need your help in their races to represent you in Congress. Democrats need you to frustrate Karl Rove's dream of turning Pennsylvania red.

Can you possibly volunteer between now and election day to help the Pennsylvania Democratic Party and your Democratic candidates?

When it's all said and done, political campaigns are about people reaching out to other people and sharing their hopes, dreams, fears, and frustrations. But, you can't share any of those things unless you first choose to give of your time.

Want to express your determination to end the failed "stay-the-course" Bush approach to Iraq? Then please spend a few hours supporting Bob Casey.

Want to join the fight to improve education at all levels, make health care more affordable for all of Pennsylvania's citizens, and create a strong economy that keeps jobs at home instead of shipping them abroad? Then offer to help Ed Rendell and your Democratic Congressional candidates.

Want to make sure Republican scare tactics don't turn the promise of victory into the shock of defeat in these final weeks? Then sign up to volunteer with the Pennsylvania Democratic Party.

Volunteer for Pennsylvania Democrats

We've always known that the November 7 elections are going to be vitally important. But, each day that passes reminds us just how essential these elections are to the institutions of democracy, to the protection of our national security and environment, and to the future of our families.

I know it isn't easy to find a few hours to make phone calls, drop leaflets, send out emails or attend campaign events in your community. But, I also know how committed you are to winning -- for the candidates who've worked so hard, for the state that you call home, and for the country that you love.

Let's dig deep. Let's work our hearts out during these final 48 days of this campaign. And let's celebrate like there's no tomorrow when we bring our candidates home to victory on that first Tuesday in November.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

P.S. My political action committee, Keeping America's Promise, is dedicated to electing Democrats like Bob Casey and Ed Rendell up and down the ticket in 2006. You can support our efforts to take back Congress and chart a new course for our country.

3. I am so involved right now, I can't find the time to do other things.

Maybe I can convince some others to help out. GV, who was that person you knew from my area that wanted a sign for Casey? I have one for her.

4. Blue neen

I have her name and phone if you want me to call her, or you can just pm her.

I'd sign up via the Senator's e-mail, but I our field director would laugh if he saw my name on a volunteer sign up sheet. He's already given me my assignment for the next 48 days.

5. Nice e-mail. Nice Senator you got there GV

I had one like that who sent me an e-mail just like it 20 months ago.

Two state political conventions as a delegate and one stint as Co-Chair for a winning gubernatorial primary campaign later, I'm really glad he did. I needed that very polite letter that told me to get off my arse and go do something. It was much appreciated.

6. It's so awesome Sen Kerry is helping Mr Casey.

Thank you for loaning him out.

Just look at what we're dealing with, Tay. You know we can't allow this to continue!

Now, do you really want your fabulous senator working in the same building as that guy? It's like putting something really, really good in close proximity with something really, really nasty. Think cookies and dog poo.

Take my senator ... please!

2. Cool!

Take back the House! Yes!

Nice photo! (in the e-mail)
