First, House Republicans recklessly voted to end Medicare for seniors but give more tax breaks to billionaires. Then, Republican leaders were caught censoring official government communications that talk about the GOP's radical plan to end Medicare.
June 30th marks the Federal Election Commission (FEC) deadline for both parties to report their fundraising numbers. The media will use totals to judge Democrats' and President Obama's momentum in 2012.
The Republicans are trying to defeat President Obama and keep Democrats in the minority by beating us on this first important FEC deadline of the race -- and relying on right-wing billionaires like the Koch Brothers and secret special interest money to do it.
We can absolutely beat them, but only if every grassroots Democrat acts right now.
Help us meet our critical $1 Million goal by June 30th. Contribute $3 or more today and a group of House Democrats will match your gift dollar-for-dollar. We need 916 more people from New York to contribute.
The calendar may say 2011, but considering how much media focus is going to be on this first FEC deadline of the campaign, it's already make-or-break time for 2012. Let's not miss this opportunity. Please act today.
Joe Crowley
U.S. Congressman
P.S. This is it -- the first FEC fundraising deadline of the 2012 race. The media will use our totals to judge Democrats' and President Obama's chances for success next year. Contribute today and a group of House Democrats will match your gift dollar-for-dollar.
