Here is a mass email I got. I gave a lot in 2004, but not much in 2005. I was pretty sick of spending money with no results. While I was encouraged by Dean's election, I wanted to see proof it would make a diffence. The proof I have seen thus far is gubernatorial victories in NJ and VA and an active media campaign designed to counteract the Repub. propaganda machine. Reid and Pelosi don't take any shit and Dean is on the air every chance he can get. In fact if I turned on a television camera here, I have no doubt Dean would show up within the hour. Bottom line, the national party has taken many steps to get its act together, though we are not there yet.
As 2006 begins, I am reaching out to you and every other Democratic Party supporter I can find. I'm urging you to immediately contribute to the Democratic National Committee.
Enough is enough.
Help make January the biggest month ever with Democrats making more donations than in any previous month in history.
http://www.democrats.org/contributeThis is the year when the corruption, cronyism, and incompetence of the Republican Party collides with a powerful grassroots Democratic campaign. They won't know what hit them.
If we can count on the 2006 support of loyal friends like you, we'll take the power out of their hands. And we'll move America forward.
Here is why your donation means so much.
With your support, we can recruit strong Democratic candidates to challenge the increasing number of vulnerable Republican incumbents.
With your support, we can stand behind Democratic candidates who are taking strong stands on the issues and giving powerful voice to our values.
I'm talking about Democrats who understand, like you and I do, the one principle that should guide everything we do in 2006:
Enough is enough.
http://www.democrats.org/contributeAre you ready to take it to the Republicans every day in 2006?
Are you ready to continue our work building a year-round, 50-state grassroots Democratic Party capable of carrying our candidates to victory?
Then now is the time to act. Be part of the biggest single month of Democratic membership support in history. Contribute now with as generous a donation as you can possibly afford.
http://www.democrats.org/contributeThis is the month when - in a collective act of political will - we're going to propel our 2006 campaign forward all across America. And, from this point on, we're never looking back, never stopping until we win.
We've got the Republicans on the ropes. Let's go for it.
On to victory,
Governor Howard Dean, M.D.
P.S. Please act right now. The sooner you contribute, the better our chances of victory in this crucial election year.
