I just received an urgent note from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. There are three candidates we need to help right now in these final 24 hours before the polls close.

Eric Massa (NY-29), Dan Seals (IL-10), and David Boswell (KY-02) need your support to fund urgent media buys and the expansion of last minute get out the vote operations. They need to pay for extra boots on the ground that could be the difference between winning and losing tomorrow.

Can you rush a last minute donation to Eric, Dan, and David?

Two weeks ago I told you that Eric Massa was being swiftboated. Well, it's still happening. Last week, another letter to the editor was printed in a local paper attacking his military record.

It's clear his opponent has a small clutch of 8-10 people spreading these lies to local papers, and yet with the exception of one, all of the local newspapers have refused to print the letter I wrote for Eric defending his service to our country.

Eric can't rely on the media to do what's right, so I need you to send him a last minute donation so he can get his ad "Military Service" back on the air to defend himself. Make a contribution to Eric today!

Dan Seals is running against Mark Kirk in Illinois' 10th Congressional District. Dan believes that it's time for change in America. It's time to move forward and solve the real challenges that face our nation -- from the economy, to health care, to the cost of gasoline, to Iraq and our foreign policy.

Two years ago, Dan came up a few points short, and this time, the race is once again neck-and-neck. Barack Obama will win this suburban district, and has cut a radio ad for Dan that if voters in the district hear, will help carry Dan to victory tomorrow.

But Dan needs a final infusion of financial support to make it happen. Please make a contribution and help him air Barack's ad for him in these final hours.

David Boswell is running for the open seat in Kentucky's 2nd Congressional District. David's background as a state legislator and his work as Kentucky's Commissioner of Agriculture make him a strong candidate. He has been a strong advocate of open and fair government, and he is invested in making full use of Kentucky's natural resources to increase our country's energy independence.

This is a tough district that George Bush carried handily, but the most recent polling shows David with a very slim lead. To win, he needs to make sure all the new voters coming out to the polls for the presidential election, vote down the ballot and check David's name.

David is expanding his get out the vote operations, and he needs our help to do it. Please make a contribution to his campaign today!

We're moments from making history. Thank you so much for being a part of it with me.

Sincerely,

Wes Clark

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.

Betsy Markey

Betsy Markey

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

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!

3 Fighting Women

Gabrielle Giffords, Dina Titus, and Judy Baker are 3 great female candidates for the U.S. House. They need your help. Click here to donate to their campaigns today!

A lot has been made over the last couple of weeks about gender and politics. I'm here to tell you that standing up for women's issues is not about sending just any woman to Washington -- no matter what the right-wing is trying to sell America.

No, it's about electing candidates who are fighting for issues that truly matter to women. It's about protecting a woman's right to choose. It's about education. It's about health care. And it's about protecting our families both at home and abroad.

I need your help today to elect three great female candidates for the U.S. House, who are fighting on the issues that matter to Americans: Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-8), Dina Titus (NV-3), and Judy Baker (MO-9). Contribute to Gabrielle, Dina, and Judy today!

Gabrielle Giffords

Gabrielle Giffords

Gabrielle Giffords is a first term Congresswoman running for re-election in Arizona's 8th Congressional District. Gabrielle's business experience has made her an effective leader, successfully pushing 7 bills and amendments into law while introducing over 20 pieces of legislation in the House. Her priorities include expanding health care for American families and promoting alternative energy research and development.

Gabrielle's a rising star in our Party, and we must keep her seat in Congress. But her race is one of the most competitive in the country, and she needs our help. The right-wing is pouring in national resources in an attempt to take back this seat. In fact, George W. Bush visited Arizona to campaign for her opponent earlier this summer, raising half a million dollars.

Help Gabrielle fight back against the likes of George W. Bush. Contribute to her campaign today!

Dina Titus

Dina Titus

Dina has worked tirelessly on behalf of Nevada's most vulnerable citizens by promoting legislation that allows seniors and other Nevadans to purchase less expensive prescription drugs from Canada, mandates tougher penalties for criminals who commit identity theft, and increases penalties for offenders who perpetrate crimes against the disabled.

Her opponent, Jon Porter, has spent the last six years fighting for the Washington special interests. That's why he doesn't want to run on the issues and is up with the first negative ad in the race. I am asking you to join me and help Dina fight back.

Help Dina fight back against the negative attacks. Contribute to her campaign today!

Judy Baker is running in Missouri's 9th Congressional District.

Judy Baker

Judy Baker

It's a tough district with a partisan voting index of R+7, but her first poll shows her two points ahead of her opponent. This is exactly the kind of race the WesPAC community has made our specialty. We don't back down from the tough fights, and this is one of them.

Judy's experience saving rural health clinics and operating her own small business has made her a strong leader in the state legislature, where she has advocated for education an health care access. She stood up to the Republican governor's plan to cut 200,000 children and seniors off of Medicaid and voted to cut her own benefits instead.

The polls show Judy within striking distance of Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer. We need to help her make up the difference. Please contribute to Judy's campaign today!

This is an historic election. We have an opportunity make gains up and down the ballot. Please take a moment and help Gabrielle, Dina, and Judy today.

Thank you. Your support is making a difference.

Sincerely,

Wes Clark
