From DCCC: They're panicking.

Boehner and Cantor are getting scared.

News broke yesterday that House Republicans cut $4.7 million worth of checks for their “Battleground Program” of attack ads. After selling out to corporate special interests and the extreme right-wing, House Republicans are starting to panic about losing their majority.

They should be scared: we’re dead serious about winning the House majority for President Obama.

Keep up the pressure: Contribute $5 or more before the June 30th FEC deadline and your gift will be match dollar-for-dollar by House Democrats >>

We really do need to win the House back, not only for President Obama, but for all of us.

They have supported too many blue dogs, and have ignored important issues, say, like, Wisconsin.

I have and will continue to contribute to individual candidates, but I just do not trust these three organizations any more. MoveOn, yes, along with a few others.

Debbie WS's inaction on Wisconsin really left a bitter taste in my mouth, and I will not forgive her. DCC has spent too much on a few candidates who turned around and shat on health care or other important issues. Same goes for the DSCC.

My new policy, until November, is to post 'reasonable' requests, and notices from most sources, due to our dire need to WIN, which means everyone needs $.

...after I discovered that the DCCC was using MY money AGAINST my Working Class Financial Interests
by channeling it to Conservative, Big Business, Blue Dog, Free Traders in local Democratic Primaries.

DCCC King Making
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=160&topic_id=14207

The DCCC/DSCC, the DNC, The White House, and ANY donation supported national Agency
has absolutely NO Business interfering in local Democratic Primaries.
When they do, it is ALWAYS to subvert the Will of the People.


SEE:Arkansas Democratic Primary, 2010
White House support for Blue Dog Blanche Lincoln

I donate what I can afford directly to Progressive Democrats,
especially Progressive Challengers in Democratic Primaries.

nationally to help out in Wisconsin. I cannot fathom why. Not even one finger lifted. Some early support could have gone a long way.

The same criticism applies to the White House. How would send Joe have hurt?

Our governor races. I'm not sure I'd want them taking control of our state wide races. They are welcomed to our Congressional races, but let us control our state houses.

AND, the GOPers have no such reluctance to use every single resource possible. How many top GOPer pols went to wisconsin? Quite a few, I recall. On our side? silence.

That's fucked up, some how.

We have the best of conditions. Walker can't do shit, and we will still have him to kick around. I want him in office when he gets indicted. A sitting governor getting indicted has more impact (and TV exposure) than an ex governor getting indicted.

portion of the public that would vote no because of their dislike of the recall vote as a law. They felt it should only be used if the governor had committed a crime in office. I think the outcome would have been different if he had been indicted and the public saw all the evidence against him.

Just saw the headlines in on one of my local media's web pages. Yeah, I know he's a Blue Dog, but for around here, he's a flaming liberal.
