"10 - 1": New DSCC email is from JK:

[Democrafty]

Dear ,
Delaware doesn't change this... 15 races within 5 points. GOP needs to win 10 to take the majority. Goal: $105,155. Deadline: midnight tomorrow. Contribute

I've seen Republicans twist the truth and tear down anyone in their way. I've seen them win elections with lies, smears, and worse. After Sarah Palin's candidate won in Delaware, the worst is about to hit.

When they attack, we must hit back twice as hard. Republican powerbrokers like Karl Rove and Swift Boat funders will plow $400 million into buying this election. The New York Times says Republican-leaning groups are outspending Democratic ones 10 to 1. Our candidates are being swamped.

Our chances of winning Delaware have improved, but the math hasn't changed. We've still got 15 states within five points, and Tea Party activists will come out of the woodwork on Election Day. We can't afford complacency - even for a minute.

The DSCC needs you to fight back before midnight tomorrow. They're watching every race, and when the dirty tricks come, they'll rush our scarce resources where they're needed most. Help meet their $105,155 goal right this minute.

Click here to rush $5 or more to the DSCC. The Senate races are tighter than ever, so we need to raise $105,155 before midnight Saturday to put our candidates over the top.

It's no secret these Republicans are opposed to everything Democrats stand for. But what worries me even more is what these extremist candidates actually believe in.

Their Senate candidates talk openly about gambling your Social Security benefits on the Wall Street rollercoaster. They've been very clear about repealing our historic health care reform and letting health insurance companies kick you off your plan when you get sick.

Their candidates don't even think we should do anything about global climate change. Forget passing legislation to finally get serious about the crisis.

We can't afford to go back to the bad old days. We can't afford to let them ruin our economy again. We can't afford to let them smear and slime their way to another election victory.

The DSCC is fighting back like only they know how. All that's missing is your contribution to help them meet their $105,155 goal before midnight tomorrow. I know I can count on you to get them there.

You and I have been through many, many fights together. We know what kind of attack ads, whisper campaigns, and innuendos are coming. We know how critical it is to fight back.

Today, you can help the DSCC make huge strides in that goal.

Thank you,


John Kerry

1. Whew!

Bless him! And bless you for posting -- I'm off the DSCC list at the moment and wouldn't have seen this.

I hope a lot of people click through this email to send money. I always want the Democratic establishment to know just how valuable a voice JK has.

3. He is a regular author of the DSCC emails

as of not to long ago. Since I only donate through him (or the President) at this point, I'm glad I didn't unsubscribe :)

I've been meaning to donate, so I think I will today.

4. OK, you convinced me (it wasn't hard!)

I'm back on their list.

2. That is sobering and extremely scary

but he is right that we have seen them do this before.

I am beginning to wonder if the fairer media that Obama got in 2008 - versus either 2000 or 2004 - was to set us up for this. TPTB likely knew that the wars were going bad and that the economy was going over a cliff. We really do need to work as hard to get the truth out.

5. Good for JK.

Not allowing the GOP to make any significant gains is crucial.

And it's great to see him hard at work in the Senate: START, the small business bill and here is his statement on extending TANF.

6. I will certainly try to give a little if he is asking.

And, I bet we will see another hit post or two from the Boston Herald, LOL. Let me see, they already used bitter, whats next? Angry? scared? sore loser?
