During the lame duck session we saw the power of your vote from November 2. No longer could the Democrats choose to ignore Republicans and keep them from the negotiating table. Instead Democrats were forced to listen to what the American people wanted by extending tax cuts for all Americans and scrapping a last-minute, pork-laden spending bill. With 13 new Republican Senators being sworn in next week, the Democrats will have to work with Republicans even more.
December was only the beginning though. Over the next two years we must never stop holding the Democrats accountable and make sure that all the Senators are listening to what their constituents want. We have also begun work on the next election and will hit the ground running in 2011 to make sure Republicans take back the Senate in 2012.
To be successful we'll need your help. Will you help us start 2011 strong with a donation of $25, $50, $100, $250 or $500? Your contribution will immediately be put to work to hold the Democrats accountable and get our country back on track.
Thank you again for everything you've done and have a Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
Rob Jesmer
NRSC Executive Director
