"Down to the Wire" - Bowers (2 more days for media buys-time for major $$$)

In case you hadn't heard, the Use It Or Lose It campaign is a program where constituents call their ultra-safe Democratic House Representatives and ask them to help fully fund all of our competitive challengers this cycle. http://www.mydd.com/images/user/217/Use_It.htm">You can participate in the program here. There are only two days left when campaigns can still buy media, so we need to make this happen immediately.

So far, the campaign has been working quite well. At least a dozen Representatives and two Senators have made large contributions over the past week (in MA alone, people like Kerry, Kennedy, Frank, Markey, and Capuano have given). Whether or not it was because of our campaign, I can't imagine that your encouragement hurt. . . .

{lots of examples omitted}

In 2006, fifty or sixty (or more) Republican held seats are in play. We know this chance might not come again in a long, long time. In this one instance, we want ultra-safe Democrats to transfer a large, but non-crippling, amount of their funds in order to help fully fund our challengers in all of these districts. This could very well be a one shot deal--don't expect to see a replay of this campaign in future cycles.

There are only a couple of more days where such transfers would be relevant or useful. We know that many of these Representatives have given already this cycle. We know it isn't easy to give away money like this. We don't even need credit. We are just looking for ways to help extend the playing field in this elections.

Your calls are making an impact. People are giving. Please, http://www.mydd.com/images/user/217/Use_It.htm">keep calling today.
