Kerry calls for support for Coakley - No time left for excuses
Edited on Wed Jan-13-10 06:16 PM by Mass

Hello Friend,

Not a lot of time left, so here are the three quick reasons why I need you to dig deep and help Martha Coakley in these final crucial days in her slugfest down to the wire battle against the national Republican Party and the powerful special interest bankrolling his campaign:

1. It's not the Massachusetts way to see the seat Ted Kennedy served in for 47 years handed off to someone who has pledged again and again to destroy Ted's life's work - health care reform.

2. It's wrong to allow Republican money to pour into Massachusetts at the last moment to distort, deceive, and divide the way to a Republican win. But the anonymously funded, shadowy right wing groups are blanketing the air with ads attacking Martha Coakley. they're counting on you taking a pass on this race.

3. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. We were losing 800,000 jobs a month under George W Bush, and Martha Coakley's opponent didn't stand up and fight. Now he says he'll be "independent." Where was he when people were hurting the most? Martha will fight for jobs in Massachusetts and across the country - and she'll do what she's done as Attorney General: stand up to the scam artists and the sub-prime mortgage pushers and all those who drove our economy into the ditch. We need her in the Senate to fight alongside us.

Those are the stakes - I need you to contribute what you can to help.

National Republican groups - including some of the people who funded the attack ads against me in 2004 - are bringing their lies to this race in Massachusetts.

The GOP is looking at next week's election as a key contest in their drive to stop reform, so please, give $20, $50, or $100 dollars to Martha Coakley for this vital election.

The Republican Party drove us into a ditch, and we're not going to let them stop us as we climb our way out of it.

Thank you for all you've done.

Sincerely,
John Kerry

2. Email message from Vicki Kennedy
Throughout my husband Ted's life, you were always there for him, for me and for the entire Kennedy family. We are tremendously grateful for your friendship and support in the past, and we ask you to stand with us now to support Martha Coakley in the crucial race to fill Ted's remaining term.

This Tuesday, January 19 everything is on the line. The people of Massachusetts will decide who will be their next Senator, and we need Martha Coakley.

The importance of having a voice and a vote that you can count on in Washington has never been more evident than during this ongoing health care debate. And we're going to need every vote again.

Ted fought for national health care reform for 40 years. He believed that every American deserved their chance at the American dream, but that as long as an illness or preexisting condition could bankrupt an American family, that great goal could never become a reality. We need Martha Coakley to continue our shared fight for national health reform, to reduce costs for businesses and families and increase coverage in Massachusetts and throughout this country. This race will be very close and we need you to get us to victory.

We have just 6 days to do the hard work of electing Martha Coakley so that we can continue the agenda that Ted made the fight of his life -- reforming health care, ensuring equality and justice for all, protecting our seniors, and rebuilding our economy to allow everyone to prosper. That fight for working families cannot stop -- not now, not when so much is at stake for Massachusetts and America. And that's why I'm asking you to ensure that we are victorious this Tuesday.

Stand with me and support Martha Coakley by making a contribution of $35, $50, or whatever you can do today. My husband fought all his life to keep moving this nation forward -- now we must make it the fight of ours.


We need to do everything it takes to ensure our shared fight continues. I am asking you personally to do one more thing for Martha Coakley. We cannot do this without you.

With gratitude,


Vicki Kennedy

P.S. I know together we can keep fighting for our shared vision of the future. Please go online today to make a difference.

3. Your Senior Senator has been remarkably busy given that he has been recuperating
from surgery a week and a half ago. I guess that all his energy has to be directed to mental activities.

4. Something tells me that Kerry has no interest in working with Brown, who, as the Phoenix said,
is a know-nothing Republican.

5. I would bet you are 100% correct
I really don't want to see the good Senator sanding next to Brown as Biden swears him in. Not good!
