BIG news! (DCCC)

[Omaha Steve]

From email.

Our campaign is building serious momentum.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee just added us to its Jumpstart program, reserved for top-tier candidates across the country!

This news comes after a poll showed us WINNING against Congressman Lee Terry. I'm ready to go work for you -- for Nebraska -- but we've got a big task ahead of us.

Thursday is a critical fundraising deadline for our campaign -- it's the first deadline since the government shutdown, so we need to put up a big showing to prove that our campaign is in a position to win. Can I count on your support?

Chip in $3 or whatever you can right now to help us build the grassroots foundation we'll need to win in 2014 >>

I couldn't be more thrilled with all of your support so far -- it means a ton to me. But challenging the Washington establishment is never easy.

If you're like me and truly want to change things up in Washington, then I need your help right now.

Please, pitch in $3 or whatever you can right now to help us build this campaign:

Thanks for your support,

Pete

1. Give it to the candidate you want to support

DCCC is predominately an incumbent protection program. Especially this early, before primaries have begun, the DCCC tends to be anti-progressive and more about maintaining the control of the establishment. And regardless of the ad they use to raise the funds, you really have no control over where, how, and why they spend the money.
