The final numbers are in. Thanks to you, we absolutely blew away our grassroots goal for Thursday's Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising deadline.
Because of your incredible support, we raised a goal-shattering $1,124,914. More importantly, we blew past our goal of 200,000 donors for the year with more than 210,000 people stepping up to contribute.
Your support has sent an unmistakable message to the world that Democrats can and will win back the House next year. On behalf of the DCCC, I can't thank you enough. As a token of our thanks, we're pleased to bring you a special edition of @Stake.
Join our Next DCCC Grassroots Conference Call
On July 13th, Leader Nancy Pelosi and I will host our next DCCC grassroots conference call and insider political briefing. Please join us so we can update you on the 2012 campaign and all the ways that your support is allowing us to stand up to the Republicans' reckless agenda.
Sign up today to reserve your spot on the call. Happy Birthday Medicare!
Yesterday marks the 45th Anniversary of Medicare taking effect. Medicare remains one of the proudest achievements of the Democratic Party. With the Republicans having voted to end Medicare and raise health care costs for seniors, Democrats are more committed than ever to stopping their radical plan so we can preserve and strengthen Medicare for future generations.
Sign our birthday card to Medicare and tell your own story of what this program has meant to you and your family. We'll make sure the Republicans hear your voices loud and clear.

Onward to victory in 2012!
