Dear NRCC supporter,

Republican Congressional candidates are facing a desperate situation nationwide. Our candidates in targeted districts are in very serious danger of losing on Election Day. And if we lose those swing districts, the Democrats will undoubtedly win the majority on November 7th.

As Executive Director of the National Republican Congressional Committee, I have not personally seen a more grave and dire situation for Republicans. That is why I need your immediate attention.

There are very few “safe” seats in Congress this election year. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has mobilized itself and is providing unprecedented support to candidates. The Democrats want to win the majority and they will do everything to achieve their goal.

...

There is no time to wait. We must show the Democrats that our party is stronger and more united than ever in the battle for Congress. Please make your most generous contributions at this link by the end of the week. I appreciate your help and quick action.

Sincerely,

Sally Vastola
Executive Director, NRCC

P.S. I personally am asking for your help to fight for Republicans and make sure our majority is saved. Everyone at the NRCC is working day and night to support candidates with grassroots organization, TV, direct mail and more. Your contribution of $35, $50, or $200, is imperative to helping us match the activities of the DCCC. Thank you.

1. The stink of desperation

How about having a reason to be running the country other than plunder and murder, you scum?

2. Praise God!

The Republicans have worked hard for their demise....I can't think of any group of people more deserving of getting exactly what they've dished out.

All of them are Democratic, though. :hi:

4. I bookmarked this.....

Great ammo for the talking heads saying that there is no reason for concern and that Democrats are not cohesive. :rofl: Straight from the horses ass!

5. I take the "fear" statements of the Repuke party with about as much

validity that I take the "Terrorists will strike the US if you elect a Dem in November!" statements ...

With a 50 lb block of salt ...

I was on the Bill Press show this morning, mentioning that, despite the "25 point" margin that Strickland has over Blackwell, Blackwell still controls the election, so ...

Remember, Kerry was in pretty good shape at this point in 2004 ...

I just don't put the money on the line this early ... look at where the Steelers were at before they realized that they were about to be mathematically eliminated in 2005 ...
