ABOUT, FROM and FOR WAYNE POWELL, cantor challenger, this last weekend!

'This morning, we've received words of support from Ohio, Florida and Kansas. We also received a shout out from a resident of Joplin, Missouri, who knows a thing or two about Eric Cantor's stance on disaster relief. And last but certainly not least, we received a spirited message from a supporter in Guatemala! Our supporters are definitely fired-up.'

'When a hurricane rolls through his district, Eric Cantor calls for cuts to offset disaster relief. When he attacks us on flimsy ethical grounds, we find that he still owns a chunk of his former law firm that he claimed to have sold. And when Mr. Cantor vows to support women, he simultaneously supports 32 anti-choice bills with Todd Akin. The 7th District has had enough. Visit our page, donate, and help us can Cantor.'

'Eric Cantor is up to his old tricks, trying to block disaster relief and undermine American manufacturing.'

House Republicans rolled out their plan to fund disaster relief in Majority Leader Eric Cantor's (R-Va.) district, but at the cost of almost half of remaining loans set aside to help the American auto industry. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/15/house-gop-seeks-cuts-to-auto-loan-program_n_964999.html

Today is the big day. We have just hours left before our biggest weekend yet. This weekend's Get Out the Vote operation is make or break for us - if we want to defeat Eric Cantor - this is it.

This is the last weekend. This is the time for us to shine.

All money has to be in the bank by close of business today for us to fully fund the weekend's canvass. Can you help us before the deadline?


Give whatever you can for the last weekend to help defeat Eric Cantor.

Help us keep up our momentum over this last weekend. We want to get as many volunteers knocking on doors and making calls as we can. Donate $10 now and make sure our operation is as robust as it can be.

Thank you so much for your support.

And how much did that cost?

Stuff like that does nothing for the district here in Virginia.
