Subject: the scary things they're promising
Hello Luftmensch,
People who say the Republican Party in 2010 has no alternatives for America are only getting it half right - while Washington Republicans in Congress have said nothing but 'no' - it's what their candidates want to say 'yes' to that's really scary.
In Nevada, their Senate candidate talks about people turning to "Second Amendment remedies" if the extreme right doesn't get its way. Rand Paul in Kentucky wants to abolish all federal funding for education. Sarah Palin's hand-picked Senate candidate in Alaska thinks unemployment benefits are unconstitutional.
We have to stop this surge in extremism before it goes any further. Please contribute right now to stop them.
One thing we know for certain: the last thing we need is more radical versions of George Bush running Congress.
When someone is attacked, when good Democrats are fighting this dangerous swell of extremism, we need the resources to be able to help them.
My organization, Campaign For Our Country, is dedicated to helping candidates across the country at a moment's notice, sending much-needed money to campaigns that need it when they need it.
But we need your help to get those resources, to raise the money that we can give to good Democrats across the country. We rely on you.
So please give $25, $50, or $100 today to keep our country moving forward.
We can defeat the wave of radicalism energizing the right wing; but it's a hard slog and we can't do it without you.
Thank you,
John Kerry
