Betsy Markey, Ashwin Madia, and Jill Derby are all facing negative attacks from the Republicans who are desperately trying to hold onto these seats. Help them fight back. Click here to donate to their campaigns today!

That's what I'm asking for today. I need you to help me take 3 Republican seats in the U.S. House and give Barack Obama the governing majority he needs to get out of the mess George Bush and Dick Cheney have created.

Betsy Markey (CO-4), Ashwin Madia (MN-3), and Jill Derby (NV-2) are running great campaigns in tough Republican districts. They're making their final decisions on advertising in the final weeks. They're all facing negative attacks from the Republicans who are desperately trying to hold onto these seats. They need our help to fight back.

Please contribute to Betsy, Ashwin, and Jill. Give them a boost in this final month before Election Day.

Betsy Markey is a successful businesswoman, entrepreneur, mother of three and community volunteer running in Colorado's 4th Congressional District. A former staffer for U.S. Senator Ken Salazar of Colorado, Betsy is the right candidate to defeat right-wing extremist, Marilyn Musgrave.

Recent polls have shown Betsy ahead of Musgrave, and it's clear why voters want a new Representative. Musgrave, one of the most conservative members of Congress, has focused on divisive social issues such as gay marriage and abortion. In fact in 2006, with a war raging in Iraq, a broken health care system, and a weakening economy, she called banning gay marriage "the most important issue that we face today." She is simply out-of-touch.

This race is one of the closest ones this year, and Musgrave has already launched misleading, negative ads that attack Betsy's character. Betsy needs our help now. Donate to her campaign today!

I've written to you before about Ashwin Madia. I'm happy to report that with the Clark community's early support he has inched ahead in the race for Minnesota's 3rd Congressional district.

Ashwin Madia

As an Iraq War veteran, Ashwin Madia knows how important it is that we get our troops out of Iraq and safely home. He spent seven months in Iraq, working with U.S. officials, European Union and United Nations representatives, and Iraqi judicial officers to strengthen the Iraqi criminal justice system.

But with Ashwin pulling ahead, the attacks have started coming. His opponent is running nasty attack ads against Ashwin, and according to one major newspaper, "using racial code words against Madia, whose family hails from India."

That's unacceptable.

We can't let the right-wing smear Ashwin's record and good name. Donate to his campaign today!

Jill Derby

Jill Derby

Last cycle, our community helped Jill Derby come up just short of defeating Dean Heller. This year, it's going to be different. Jill has spent her career as an educator, and served 18 years on the Nevada Board of Regents, the governing board for the Nevada System of Higher Education. As a Regent, Jill earned respect and praise from Nevadans of all political stripes, as well as national attention as a leader in higher education.

Dean Heller has voted 92% of the time with President Bush, opposed educational benefits for our veterans, and has blocked renewable energy development and efficiency standards at every opportunity.

Nevadans are ready for change. Let's help put Jill over the top this time. Donate to Jill's campaign today!
