Lucas --
News just broke that Crossroads, one of Karl Rove's shadowy outside groups, is purchasing millions in advertising attacking President Obama this summer.
There's no doubt: the fight for 2012 is on.
This all comes as we are within days of the critical midyear Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising reporting deadline. Republicans and Democrats are in a virtual dead heat for year-to-date totals, and if we are going to keep pace with this outside money we need to take a strong lead.
That means we need every committed Democrat to contribute something before June 30th. A gift of just $3 or more could go a long way to us having a strong showing. Will you join the fight today?
Contribute $3 or more before the mid-year FEC deadline on June 30th and House Democrats will triple match your gift.
In just four days, the amount of money we raise in the mid-year will be used by the media and talking heads as a measure of our chances of success in 2012.
House Democrats are so committed to June 30th -- they are now matching every dollar you give with two of their own. That makes each gift worth triple the amount. It's make or break time. Please give today before Thursday's deadline.
Thanks,
Robby Mook
