An Important and Big Race for Michael Bennet. With Messages from Senator John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi.
Hello Joseph,
Ken Buck is acting like a man who wants to be voted "Most Likely to be Extreme." That's fine - as long as he's not voted Colorado's next US Senator.
Think I'm kidding? Just being facetious? Just look at what 'ol Ken has said in the last week: he compared being gay to "alcoholism," described a sexual assault case he oversaw as district attorney as a case of "buyer's remorse" on the part of the victim, and topped it all off by calling climate change "a hoax."
We just don't need this at a time when we've got so many real problems to deal with which demand serious, adult leadership.
Help stop Ken Buck. Click here to donate to Senator Michael Bennet's campaign today!
I can't tell you how much I respect and value Michael Bennet. He's made a big impression in our caucus. People listen to Michael - because he's a serious guy, a thoughtful person, and a principled guy. He came here determined to help solve the big problems: fighting climate change, attaining energy independence, creating jobs, changing the way Washington does business.
Ken Buck? Well, he'd change the place too -- in a very dangerous way. He opposes a woman's right to choose even in cases of rape and incest. He has said we should privatize Social Security, get rid of the Department of Education, drop federal student loan programs, and dismantle environmental protections. No wonder Colorado has been the target for more ads by the shadowy outside groups than any other state race, with Karl Rove and his friends spending millions of dollars to try to elect Ken Buck and defeat Michael Bennet.
Make a contribution of $25, $50, or $75 now to Michael Bennet's campaign and help us win one of our must-win races this year.
This is a big race - a very big one. Trust me, you don't want to wake up on November 3rd and hear that Ken Buck's coming to the Senate - and realize you didn't stop him when you had a chance. That's why I've found every way I can to help Michael - and why I hope you will too.
Sincerely,
John Kerry
Joseph --
Less than two weeks from today, the American people go to the polls. House Democrats are under attack from secret money from corporate special interests that favor shipping American jobs overseas, turning Social Security over to Wall Street, and turning Medicare over to the insurance companies.
According to news reports, these secretive special interest groups have spent more than $42 million on television ads that have aired more than 100,000 times attacking me. But this election is not about me; it is about the middle class.
Republicans want to privatize and cut Social Security and Medicare, give tax breaks for the wealthy, and send jobs overseas. Democrats want to preserve Social Security and Medicare, cut taxes for the middle class, and "make it in America."
Please make a generous contribution to my campaign today. Your contribution will make a difference. It allows me to continue helping House Democrats facing special interest attacks from groups that are angry at the progress we have made for the American people.
We cannot wake up with a single regret that there was more we could have done to protect our Democratic House Majority.
Please contribute today so we can help courageous House Democrats fight back.
Onward to victory.
Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House
