Spreading Lies. Fostering Fear. URGENT Request from Bill Clinton..
I will give my $50 today. Not that I can afford it. But I feel I can't afford NOT to -- THEY'RE TRIPLING the amount of your donation until Sunday!!!
_ _ _ _ _

Dear _______

We. Can. Do. This.

A Democratic Senate is 100 percent within our reach.

I know the candidates in the top races. I've talked with them, I've worked with
them, and I've campaigned with them. They have the right values and the right ideas.
And voters are responding to them. America is ready for change.

In the past six years, Republicans have governed to please the most right-wing and
special interest-dominated segments of their party. In 25 days, we can show them
the door.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is watching every Senate race in
the country, and they know exactly what to do to ensure that the American people
hear the truth about our candidates and the truth about the consequences of charging
down the same path we've been on for the last six years, instead of changing
direction.

The Republicans were counting on rescuing their dismal poll numbers with a flood of
special interest money this fall. But because of you and your generous support of
the DSCC, every dollar they spent was matched by a dollar on our side. For that, I
am eternally grateful. I only ask for your help again so soon because I believe
that victory in this election will depend on the continued support of people like
you in these crucial final weeks.

Your help today is so urgent because the DSCC is doing everything it can to put the
Republicans out of contention now. Republicans are on the run and fighting among
themselves. This is where a well-funded and united Democratic front can clinch the
election. Now is the time to act. The DSCC must raise $2.6 million by October 20
to fully fund their plan to take back the Senate.

Click here to make a contribution of $50, $75 or more to help the DSCC to get the
truth out to voters and beat back the right-wing attack machine.

https://secure.democratsenators.org/dia/organizations/dscc/shop/20061013_bclinton_RD-OC.jsp

This goal is so important that if you give by midnight on Sunday, a group of
Democratic Senators will match your donation two to one, effectively tripling your
contribution. Please, act today to keep Democrats on the offensive in our fight for
the Senate.

The Republicans know how close they are to losing power. So just like they did in
2004, they have organized a secret network of Swift Boat-type groups to spread lies
and foster fear. Funded by right-wing extremists, these groups will say and do
anything. And they're not just ruthless, they're rolling in money. One group has
already spent more than five million dollars on ads in Ohio and Missouri alone.

I know firsthand how low the right-wing attack machine is willing to go. But you
know the truth - you know that we led America to eight years of unprecedented peace
and prosperity. I'm proud of what we did together, and honored by the trust you
placed in me. Now, I'm asking you to join me again, to end the right-wing Republican
stranglehold on our government, and set America on a new course.

So please - join me in supporting the DSCC. Every dollar you contribute will be
spent exactly where it's needed to put Democrats in charge of the Senate and restore
Democratic values to our government.

Click here to make a contribution of $50, $75 or more to help the DSCC to get the
truth out to voters and beat back the right-wing attack machine.

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton

1. What is DSCC?
This website doesn't seem complete, just a place to take money.

12. of course they support Liebermann
..he's a Democratic senator. I'm not going to NOT send them $ to support other senators just because of friggin Liebermann. That would be shooting ourselves and the other senators running, in the foot! Keep ya eye on the prize.

13. Really? How do you reckon that?

Their own site endorses Lamont, links to several articles containing endorsements of Lamont, and in general seems to dismiss Lieberman as just another party candidate in a different party.

Don't believe me? Check it out:

21. no Dem campaign money for Lieberman now--he's an independent
according to him. He'd better NOT be taking party money. I think the Republicans are helping him out as far as funding goes.

30. "democrat inaction." That's what the website says. No lie!
http://www.democratsenators.org/

It's a little too funny to believe. I went to the main page of this fundraising website, and here's what it says:

democrat inaction.

Go look for yourself.

At least they're finally admitting that there's been no oversight.

I'm not giving a penny. Sorry. They can do their jobs and yell and scream. That's what we need.

Nowhere does it say what they'll do with my $50.

Just because they put Bill's face on there, doesn't mean it's legit.

31. Some kind of fake out link there. Try this instead:


http://www.dscc.org/index_home.html


the money will go directly to the Senate races where we need the advertising money. This is the organization run by Sen. Chuck Schumer to elect Democrats to the Senate.
