Lucas --
I wanted to make sure you saw James Carville's e-mail.
We're just days out from the FEC deadline where both parties will have to report how much money they have in the bank. The national media and political world will be poring over our numbers to determine if we have what it takes to grab the Speaker's gavel from John Boehner and defeat the Tea Party once and for all.
With so much at stake right now, we can't fall short in this key test of our grassroots momentum. Can you chip in $3 or more today to stand with President Obama and House Democrats?
Thanks -- Robby

Friend --
It's getting ugly out there.
Karl Rove has rounded up a gaggle of deep-pocketed, shady secret donors to launch a massive swift-boat smear campaign through his smoke-and-mirrors group Crossroads GPS. They must think they can trick folks into believing that putting our economy at risk to push for billionaire tax breaks is a bright idea.
Well I'm not falling for it and I know you aren't either.
That's why Democrats have gotta have a big showing for this upcoming Federal Election Commission (FEC) deadline.
We must raise $500,000 to show we have what it takes to stand up to Republicans' scheme to risk our economy for more fat cat tax breaks.
Contribute $3 or more before the critical July 31st FEC deadline and help us throw the Tea Party out of Congress in 2012.
The media and pundits will use our grassroots fundraising totals to judge our will to call out the GOP on their lies -- so we need you to act right now.
Every dollar you give goes right back out the door to help take the fight right to Republicans on their home turf with targeted advertising, grassroots organizing, and rapid response research.
Let's show Rove and his band of fat cat secret donors that we're stronger and more united than ever.
We can do it. But time is running out.
Give today and help Democrats stand strong at this critical deadline >>
