A message from me to Nancy Pelosi and the DCCC people

I told you yesterday that I unsubscribed from your email 9 months ago, and yet you keep spamming me with the same message - donate to DCCC to help whoever. I just got one from Nancy Pelosi asking to help Gabby's friend win his race in Arizona. Yes, I was a former resident of her district, but the problem is, I moved out before Gabby was even elected.

It's too soon to beg for money after Wisconsin. I'm a little bit depressed, and out of money, and just asking for money to help is just plain wrong.

Woody --

At this moment, we are facing an extremely critical deadline in the Arizona special election to fill my friend Gabby Giffords' seat.

Right now, my friends at House Majority PAC are airing a powerful new ad exposing the Republican in the race for who he is.

If we want to continue Gabby's great work in Congress, we must elect Democrat Ron Barber and other Democratic candidates. That means getting the truth out about Tea Party extremists like Jesse Kelly.

We have set a goal to raise $50,000 more to help House Majority PAC bring home a victory on Tuesday and beyond. Will you join us?

Contribute $3 or more today before tomorrow's deadline >>

House Majority PAC provides support for Democrats in House races across the country, including running ads like the ones that just this week helped Julia Brownley win the open primary in California's 26th district. Their ads can make the difference for many of our proud Democratic candidates as they expose the truth about deceptive ads from outside groups funded and controlled by Karl Rove and the Koch Brothers. That's why your help today is so critical.

This special election is especially dear to my heart as we fight to make sure Gabby's proud legacy can live on. I hope that you will join us before tomorrow's deadline so we can win together. Please give today before the deadline tomorrow >>

Thank you for all that you do.

Yours truly,

Nancy Pelosi

P.S. I am only asking for contributions up to $5,000, from individuals or federal committees. I am not asking for contributions from corporations, labor unions or other federally prohibited sources.

The good people of Wisconsin worked hard to recall that crook Walker. They pounded pavement, knocked on doors, donated their time and money, and did an incredible job trying to get out the vote.

None of that was enough.

Was it the huge amount of money Walker had? Was it election fraud due to voting machines that can be manipulated? Was it the endless ads full of lies run by Walker for months on end?

It's really past time for Democrats in Congress and in the White House to stand united with the people in dealing with these things.
