PLEASE SAVE THE POLAR BEAR FROM EXTINCTION, and don't forget Barbara Boxer!

Dear Joseph,
Last Chance to Save Polar Bears:
Stop Big Oil and Alaska
We're wrapping up fundraising to save Alaska's 120-million-acre polar bear protected habitat. If you've already donated, thanks.
If you haven't, this is our last request -- and your last chance -- to help us stop Exxon, BP and Shell from pushing the polar bear to the brink of extinction. Please donate to our Polar Bear Protection Fund today.
Polar bears are already drowning and starving to death as their habitat is destroyed by global warming and the incursion of oil rigs, pipelines and spills into the Alaska wilderness. If this continues, scientists predict polar bears will be extinct in Alaska by 2030 and worldwide by the end of the century.
To save them, the federal government established a 120-million-acre protected area for the polar bear last year. Joseph, it's the largest protected wildlife area in history. Spanning the shore and icy oceans of northern Alaska, it's bigger than the entire national park system. And every bit of it is needed to save the polar bear and provide safe habitat for walrus, ice seals, beluga whales and hundreds of other species.
But this month ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, BP and 11 other oil giants filed suit to abolish the protected wildlife habitat. We need your help to stop them.
Joseph, please donate generously to the Polar Bear Protection Fund that we set up especially for this fight. It's your last chance to help -- we're moving out of fundraising mode and into legal-battle mode as the polar bears' day of reckoning approaches.
Here's what we'll do with your contribution:
Formally intervene in the oil-industry lawsuit on behalf of the polar bear;
Convince the court that the 120-million-acre protected habitat is essential to saving polar bears from extinction;
Win a ruling throwing the oil industry's lawsuit out of court.
And we really have our work cut out for us -- the state of Alaska has also filed suit to strip polar-bear safeguards. Following Big Oil's lead, Alaska complains that the protected wildlife habitat will limit oil drilling and new pipelines. These, the state argues, are more important than saving polar bears and preserving the last, best American wilderness.
We disagree.
With your help, Joseph, we'll overcome the state of Alaska's challenge and the massive amount of money Big Oil is throwing at this historic legal showdown. Please donate today to get our expert lawyers into court as soon as possible. Your gift will help level the playing field and ensure polar bears and their habitat will be forever protected.
Thanks in advance; we couldn't do this without you.

P.S. More than a thousand people have stepped up this month to meet the bears' critical need. Joseph, please, join them if you haven't already and ask your friends to give generously. It's easy to post this on Facebook here or click here to forward to your friends. The great white bear of Alaska can't survive without a safe, protected area to thrive in -- and your support will make all the difference.

Joseph,
Sen. Boxer is doing everything she can to stop the GOP´s radical agenda.
But she needs to know right now that you have her back.
We only have 72 hours to raise $102,159 before our FEC deadline. We´re depending on our grassroots supporters (who contribute 90% of our gifts) to show we´ve got what it takes to prevent the GOP from advancing their extremism beyond the House.
Meeting this goal is so important that your gift will be matched a $10 donation will only cost you $5. Click here right now, and stand with the DSCC!
Thanks for your help,
Guy Cecil

Dear Joseph,
Republicans campaigned last year with big promises of job creation. But instead they have launched an all-out assault on women's health, workers' rights, and clean air. They even voted to defund PBS.
That's not a jobs plan it's a radical agenda.
Right now, there is only one thing standing in their way our Democratic Senate. The Republicans know they only need to win four more Senate seats to take over the majority and enact their extreme agenda. We cannot let that happen.
We have just 4 days left before a big FEC deadline, and we need your help now. Please make a contribution to the DSCC today. They must raise $165,233 in the next 4 days to help preserve our Senate majority. Their March Match means you can give a $10 donation for only $5.
Take it from me: I know first-hand the extremes Republicans are willing to go to win. They threw everything but the kitchen sink at me in 2010 and they will have even more money to fund their attacks this time.
Karl Rove's shady groups are already promising $120 million to defeat Democrats in 2012. Because of the Citizens United decision, corporations will again be able to give unlimited secret donations to influence our elections. But we have something even more powerful you!
More than 90 percent of the DSCC's contributions come from grassroots Democrats who refuse to let the GOP undermine our nation. Without your help, our majority and ability to stop the Republicans is in peril.
Click here to give $10 or more to the DSCC. Every dollar you give will be matched, meaning you can make a $10 donation for only $5.
Every time the right wing came after me during the last election, I knew I could count on the DSCC to help me fight back. I truly couldn't have won in November without the DSCC's support.
Now, my colleagues need the DSCC's help. We're defending an astonishing 23 Democratic seats in 2012. Republicans only have 10. If they gain four seats, we will lose our Senate majority.
This means that what we do now matters. What you do now matters. We need a strong showing for our March 31 deadline only 4 days from now. The pundits and political prognosticators will be analyzing our numbers to see if Democrats have what it takes to win. We do. But we need your help to prove it.
Click here to give $10 or more to the DSCC. Every dollar you give will be matched, meaning your $10 gift will only cost you $5.
Thanks to your hard work, Democrats still hold the Senate and we can still stop the radical Republican agenda. I need your help today to ensure that's the case in 2012 and beyond.
Thank you for fighting alongside me.
Sincerely,
Barbara Boxer
