Lucas - There's a huge amount of Republican spin about the supercommittee. But the truth is simple: Republicans created the deadlock by refusing to make billionaires pay their fair share.
Their goal is to blame this gridlock on Democrats to take over the Senate and White House. Then, with no need for compromise, they'll simply write their own extreme agenda into law. Nothing will stop them from destroying the social safety net, cutting taxes for the 1%, and forcing the 99% to pay the bill.
We can stop the takeover. But to do it, we need to raise $100,000 in the next 48 hours. Our November FEC fundraising numbers will be scrutinized, and right now, we're short. If we miss this goal, we'll be seen as weak, and Republicans will steal the momentum.
We only need 279 more gifts from New York to make our goal at midnight tomorrow. Can you give $5 or $10 to the DSCC now? Winning next November requires support from coast to coast and from every state.
Democrats fight to protect middle class Americans. Republicans fight to protect their powerful friends. If we lose, they write the agenda. Too much is at stake not to give.
Sincerely,
Guy Cecil
