Lucas --
Back in Tennessee there's an old saying: When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the law on your side, argue the law. When you have neither, holler.
That pretty much defines the Republican opposition to President Obama's agenda for change and their strategy for the 2010 campaign -- a whole lot of hollering to obscure their real goal, which is to restore the very same policies followed for eight years by the Bush-Cheney White House -- and actually promising more of the same.
We cannot afford to let that happen.
The sobering truth is that the Republican Party has banked millions of dollars to fund attack ads against House Democrats -- and I'm imploring you to stand with President Obama and our Democrats in Congress at this critical time. Our September 30th FEC deadline is just days away and Democrats are $651,287 away from their goal to match the GOP's unprecedented fundraising effort. House Democrats must have a strong showing.
Contribute $5, $10 or more to the DCCC before September 30th and a group of committed Democrats have pledged to match your gift 2-to-1, tripling the impact of your support.

Just like the election of President Barack Obama was in your hands in 2008, the ability to defend our Democratic Majority in Congress in 2010 depends on your willingness to pitch in now with the same intensity and desire for change.
President Obama and House Democrats need you to keep on fighting at their side for a better, fairer, and more forward-thinking America. It's as simple as that.
Contribute $5, $10 or more to the DCCC before September 30th and a group of committed Democrats have pledged to match your gift 2-to-1, tripling the impact of your support.
Remember, Republicans orchestrated a takeover of Congress in 1994 with the same strategy of obstructionism and nay-saying that they're using now. They can only do it again if we let them. I'm totally dedicated to supporting President Obama and our Democrats in Congress at this critical time.
I hope I can count on you to do the same. Please let me hear from you before the September 30th deadline.
Sincerely,

Al Gore
