Barack Obama's agenda will be filibustered if we don't elect enough Democrats to the Senate. That's why I need you to help Jim Martin and Kay Hagan win |
 |
A responsible withdrawal from Iraq? Filibuster.
Reform the health care system? Filibuster.
Investment in renewables and a new energy economy? Filibuster.
That's what we can expect to happen to Barack Obama's agenda if we don't elect enough Democrats to the Senate on November 4. Republicans have filibustered a record-breaking 94 times in the last two years! Imagine what they will do when faced with Barack Obama's agenda for change.
That's why I'm asking you to help in two Senate races that few believed we could win just months ago: Jim Martin in Georgia and Kay Hagan in North Carolina. Contribute to Jim and Kay today.

Jim Martin
Jim Martin served our nation honorably as a member of the Armed Forces in Vietnam, in the Georgia House of Representatives, and at the Georgia Department of Human Resources. He has led his state on health care issues, helped provide quality and affordable health care for thousands of children, and put foster children in loving homes.
His opponent, Saxby Chambliss, ran one of the most despicable TV ads I've ever seen in 2002. The ad compared war hero Senator Max Cleland to Osama bin Laden. And now, Chambliss has launched two new attack ads against Jim, even brazenly using the same background music from the attack ad on Max.
The race is neck-and-neck, and I need you to make sure Jim has the resources to fight back against Chambliss' distortions and lies by making a contribution today.

Kay Hagan
As a five-term State Senator, Kay helped strengthen North Carolina's economy, increased the salaries of teachers, and broadened early childhood education. I'm also standing with Kay because she will stand up for our nation's military and veterans. It is not just because she comes from a strong military family -- she has a deep respect for the men and women who serve our country and fight for the freedom we often take for granted.
Kay has a real chance to oust Elizabeth Dole. Dole has been a rubberstamp for George Bush and has voted with him 92% of the time. We can't let George Bush's failed policies continue under Dole.
Kay holds a slim lead. So now the right wing attack machine is throwing millions of dollars into this race over the final two weeks hoping negative, false advertisements will make the difference. And I just learned Elizabeth Dole has loaned herself $3 million dollars this week to buy her seat back.
Kay needs our help to fight back. Please help carry Kay to victory by making a contribution today!

We have 13 days to make a difference in these races. Jim and Kay need your help now.
Thank you for helping to change our country.
Sincerely,
Wes Clark
