America needs Barack Obama. But a new president alone cannot fix what ails America.

Today, there are 49 Republicans in the U.S. Senate who would make it their mission to undermine Barack Obama’s presidency.

In our combined strength is the power to stop them.

If thousands of us come together to take nine Republican seats 34 days from now, Democrats will have a filibuster-proof Senate majority for the first time in 30 years. And the years of Republican obstruction will be over.

But we must act now to win on November 4. History is being decided. Our action or inaction now can lead to triumph or defeat. We need to act now.

The DSCC needs $206,521 by midnight tonight to reach its final, vital quarterly goal of $4.4 million. The stakes could not be higher. If we do not reach this goal, we may well lose key Senate races we should have won. Any contribution from you – even as little as $5 – could make all the difference.

Please rush a contribution of $5 to help the DSCC reach its key September 30 deadline and bring us a giant step closer to a filibuster-proof Democratic majority. Give now and a group of Democratic senators will raise two dollars for every dollar you give, effectively tripling your contribution!

Democratic Senate challengers are either leading or neck-and-neck with eleven Republican Senate incumbents. Five other races could break our way at any time.

We can’t control all the twists and turns of these races, but if we all do our part, together we can make sure the DSCC has absolutely everything it needs to rush needed funds to the races where they do the most good.

Every five dollars you give that enables the DSCC to call another voter, knock on another door or fund another campaign ad can make all the difference in races that may be decided by the smallest of margins.

Millions of undecided voters are in play across America, and the DSCC is trying to reach them one by one, day in day out, to make sure they join our side. There is so much work to be done in the next 34 days. Please give as much you can. Even $5 will make a difference.

Please rush a contribution of $5 right now to help the DSCC reach its September 30 deadline you know how important a filibuster-proof Democratic majority is to all the democratic goal we share. And remember- if you give now a group of Democratic senators will raise two dollars for every dollar you give. You contribution will be tripled!

In these all-important days before the election, we must come together as one to restore an America of hope, and greatness. The DSCC is on the front lines of this battle for our nation’s future and it needs each of us to play our part. Please support the DSCC today. Thank you so much.

Yours in a filibuster-proof Democratic majority,
Ted Kennedy

Phil Berg, Attorney is asking for a donation. I gave him $25.00. We cant stop now, he will take it all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary. God bless Phil for being so brave….

@154: I will.

INdy, are you sure of this? I heard there was NOTHING in the defeated bill to help the homeowners stay in their homes. It was Hillary’s plan that would do that, but hers was not worked up as a bill.

As for Pelosi’s bailout currently in Congress…. When Republicans object to bailing out Wall Street, why should Democrats do it? Here is a strong objection from National Review.

· We may blow the best shot the federal government has to use taxpayer money wisely to “work out” of the current financial situation – getting it wrong will CREATE problems and HARM confidence, because fundamentally underpinning this situation is the assumption that the government can prevent a meltdown. If the plan fails, this opportunity may well disappear.
