Dear Theresa J. ,
I have been leading the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) for two
and a half years now.
And yet I am still continually amazed by the commitment of you, our grassroots.
In the past few weeks alone, thousands of our supporters helped us blow past
our ambitious quarterly fundraising goal - the tenth straight quarter we've
done that.
And then, this week, when President Bush made the outrageous decision to
commute Scooter Libby's prison sentence, tens of thousands of you signed on to
our petition expressing your disgust for this affront to justice.
Thank you so very much.
Your unrivaled energy and unflagging financial support means that Republican
Senate incumbents, already beleaguered by their blind support for George Bush
and plummeting poll ratings, will have an even tougher road ahead to defend
their Senate seats in 2008.
21 Republican seats are up for reelection in 2008, compared to only 12
Democratic seats. And already, some GOP incumbents are showing clear signs of
vulnerability. Only 31% of New Hampshirites think incumbent John Sununu
deserves to be reelected. Norm Coleman in Minnesota and Gordon Smith in Oregon
have approval ratings hovering below 50%.
Republican senators are once again showing their blind obedience to Bush -- not
one has had the guts to stand up and say that the Scooter Libby commutation
makes a mockery of the American justice system.
Democrats have a once in a generation opportunity to expand a 51-49 Senate
majority that has made it all too easy for Republicans to carry George Bush's
water and obstruct the change that you voted for in 2006.
You have provided a huge lift for us at the DSCC. Your support allows for more
staffers in key states, more ads and more investment in advanced micro
targeting techniques to get Democrats to the polls on Election Day. You are
giving us the resources to convince the very best leaders that Democrats have
to offer, to run for Senate.
Most importantly, your energy is keeping every one around here fired up and
focused on the goal at hand: expanding our majority.
We've still got a long way to go. But thanks to you, we're off to an amazing
start.
Sincerely,
Sen. Chuck Schumer
P.S. It's not too late to send a message to George Bush that you are
appalled by his commutation of Scooter Libby's prison sentence. Click here to
sign a petition expressing your outrage. Well deliver it to the White House
on Monday.
