Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is Facing a Critical Deadline

America doesn't start wars -- we end them. We don't turn away from the world -- we lead it. And we don't commit torture -- we condemn it.

If you share these ideals for our nation and want to drive change forward, you must have the courage to act now. We cannot wait -- America's future is at stake.

We must work together to have both a Democrat in the White House and a strong Democratic Majority in Congress. Democrats are fresh off a big win in Illinois after winning a ruby-red seat formerly held by Republican Speaker Dennis Hastert. But, the larger fight for change continues -- and we need your urgent help.

My friends at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) are facing a critical March 31st FEC deadline. They need to raise $3 million more before their March 31st deadline. House Democrats are so committed to making this goal they are matching all urgent contributions today 2-to-1. The fight is on and Republicans are not letting up. Right now you can take the next step, make a contribution, and help finish the job and win an even bigger victory in 2008.

The Republicans are not going down without a fight. They are rallying behind their new nominee, John McCain and his promise of 100 more years in Iraq. And they have a number of shadowy outside groups reminiscent of the "swift-boat" crowd ready to spend more than $300 million in slash-and-burn attacks against big-change Democrats.

In the face of this, a Democratic groundswell is building. But if we are to continue on this path of change, we can't stop fighting. The first major FEC deadline of 2008 is fast approaching. Giving a matched gift to the DCCC before their critical deadline is the best way to ensure that Democrats can return our nation to one that respects the rule of law and protects the Constitution.

It's all about delivering results. And that is what the DCCC is designed to do. They are working day and night in more than 75 Congressional districts across the country. They are on the ground mobilizing the grassroots and on the air with television and radio ads.

With your support, the DCCC can make sure that a Democratic President takes the oath of office surrounded by the strongest ever Democratic Majority.
