With 40,000 ballots still to be counted, Charlie Brown's race is too close to call. Help him fight back -- click here to donate to Charlie Brown's Election Protection Fund today!

Our friend Charlie Brown needs our help. The margin in California's 4th Congressional District is razor thin, and they're still counting votes. After more than 300,000 ballots were cast in CA-04, the race is tied. The current difference stands at less than half of 1% (less than 500 votes).

With 40,000 vote-by-mail and provisional ballots still to be counted, the race is way too close to call. That's why it's critical for us to make sure all the votes are counted in CA-04.

Please contribute to Charlie Brown's Election Protection Fund today!

Charlie's opponent, Tom McClintock, has hired an election attorney and brought in a team of lawyers to "watch" the locations where absentee and provisional ballots are being counted. McClintock's team is doing everything they can to challenge the votes of thousands of people who faithfully cast their ballots.

Charlie needs our help to fight back.

Please contribute to Charlie Brown's Election Protection Fund today!

In 2006, the WesPAC community's support carried Charlie to within 3 points of victory. Charlie, a 26-year military veteran who served from Vietnam to the Gulf War, will be a strong advocate for our veterans and an important voice to end the war in Iraq.

His opponent never served, has accumulated the worst voting record on military and veterans issues in the California legislature, and yet had the gall to attack Charlie's patriotism with blatant lies and innuendo.

There's too much at stake. It's critical we ensure all the votes are counted in CA-04.

Please contribute to Charlie Brown's Election Protection Fund today!

Thank you.

Bruce and Jeff are going to be great Senators, but they are running against well-financed incumbents. They need our help to win. Click here to donate to their campaigns today!

This is it. These are our last moments to make a difference in races that will shape the future of our country.

I've personally chosen two final U.S. Senate candidates that need our support in these final days: Bruce Lunsford in Kentucky and Jeff Merkley in Oregon. Bruce and Jeff are going to be great Senators, but they are running against well-financed incumbents. They need our help to win on November 4.

We're just 6 days from Election Day, and we're nearing the point where it will be too late to secure advertising time, staff phone banks, and hire field staff to get out the vote. The time to give is now.

Please support Bruce and Jeff today!

Bruce Lunsford will be a tireless advocate in Washington for our troops and our veterans. As a veteran of the Army Reserve and the National Guard, he'll make sure that our commanders have a clear mission. And he'll fight to ensure that we keep our promises to our veterans by fully supporting the new GI Bill, improving health care benefits and VA facilities to prevent another Walter Reed, and ensuring that the education benefits we guaranteed our fighting men and women stay funded and secure.

Now let's compare Bruce to his opponent, Mitch McConnell. Last week I wrote to you about the record 94 filibusters over the last two years in the Senate. As the Minority Leader, McConnell was the chief engineer behind the filibusters, including stopping important legislation to bring a responsible end to the war in Iraq. We can expect the same obstructionism if we don't help Bruce defeat him.

End the Republican obstructionism. Contribute to Bruce Lunsford today!

In Oregon, Jeff Merkley has a great chance to defeat incumbent Republican Senator Gordon Smith. As Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives, Jeff led the fight to make health care more affordable, created thousands of new jobs, and passed landmark environmental legislation.

Smith, in sharp contrast, has voted with President Bush 80% of the time. He has toed the corporate line on health care and has failed to stand up for America's veterans. To hide the truth about his voting record, Smith has tried to portray himself one way in Portland and another way in rural Oregon with contradictory and misleading ads and campaign mailings. Despite that, recent polls show Jeff ahead by a few points. Jeff needs our help to tell voters the truth about Smith's record.

It's time to add Jeff's important voice to the U.S. Senate. Please contribute to his campaign today!

Thank you so much for your amazing support of Democratic candidates throughout this election. Please help these two great candidates today, and we'll celebrate a huge Democratic victory on November 4th!

Sincerely,

Wes Clark

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.

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!

Thank you for doing everything you can to help bring change to Washington.

Mark Udall and Ronnie Musgrove are in two of the toughest Senate races in the entire country, and they need your help. Click here to donate before tomorrow's end-of-quarter deadline!

It's getting dirty. You know it's almost election day when the right wing jumpstarts their efforts to win at any cost.

I don't know about you, but it just fires me up to help the candidates who are facing these dirty tactics. That's why I need you to join me in helping Mark Udall in Colorado and Ronnie Musgrove in Mississippi. Mark and Ronnie are in two of the toughest Senate races in the entire country, and they need your help.

Contribute to Mark Udall and Ronnie Musgrove before tomorrow's September 30th end-of-quarter deadline!

Mark Udall

Mark Udall

I hope you saw Mark Udall debate his opponent Bob Schaffer on Meet the Press yesterday.

Mark showed why Colorado needs him to be its Senator. Mark is a respected member of the House Armed Services Committee. He had the judgment to vote against the war in Iraq, and he continues to respect and honor the sacrifices of our veterans by fighting for the benefits they deserve.

Compare this to his opponent. As an oil executive, Schaffer went to Iraq to negotiate oil deals with Kurdistan, even though the State Department warned such actions could destabilize Iraq. As a former member of Congress, Bob Schaffer should know better. He knowingly risked the safety of our troops for his own self interests. It's unconscionable.

Yet over a dozen outside groups have spent over $12 million in attack ads on Mark. He's facing more attacks from outside groups than any Senate candidate in the country.

We can't let these special interests take Mark down. Contribute to his campaign before the September 30th fundraising deadline!

Ronnie Musgrove

Ronnie Musgrove

Now, it doesn't get much dirtier than trying to keep voters from casting a vote in an election. But that's exactly what Republicans tried to do in Mississippi.

The right-wing Governor and leadership in Mississippi tried to bury this race on the bottom of the ballot -- illegally -- to make it harder for people to vote for Ronnie. Thankfully, the right-wing's dirty campaign tactic was overruled by the Mississippi Supreme Court.

They're resorting to these tactics because they're worried. Democrats have a real chance to win this seat in deep red Mississippi. Ronnie, a former Governor who helped create over 52,000 new jobs and brought more than $14 billion in new investments to Mississippi, is running a strong campaign against appointed Republican Senator Roger Wicker. In fact, recent polls show the race to be a virtual tie.

The dirty tricks aren't going to stop, and Ronnie's going to need help to fight back. Contribute to his campaign today before tomorrow's midnight deadline.

The final weeks are critical to every campaign. Please make sure Mark and Ronnie have the resources to fight back in these final weeks.

Thank you for everything.

Sincerely,

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!

www.actblue.com/page/3fightingwomen

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
