| P.S. I know a little something about close elections. The last thing you want is to wake up on Wednesday, November 8th, look at the results, and say, "I wish I had done more." So please do all you can today -- we need every vote, every volunteer and every donation we can get. |

| I received yet another fundraising e-mail this morning from Al Gore. They went from Al to Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy, and now they're back to Al again. And why aren't they using Hillary? I find that interesting as well. BTW if you haven't already contributed something, please do it now. It's imperative that we take back Congress. Here's the link where you can donate through the DSCC. Tell them Al sent you! :good: :DSCC Never before has our government worked for so few, for so long. But never again will we be presented with such an incredible opportunity to change it. You have already made all the difference in this fight for our country with the incredible support you recently gave to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). Because of you, we're on the cusp of throwing out a Republican Congress that will never accept responsibility, never admit mistakes, and never change its mind. There are simply no words to express what your support means to the DSCC and its candidates. But with just 18 days until the election, it is all hands on deck for Democrats and you are the most important weapon we've got. Believe me, I would not be asking for your support again so soon if it was not absolutely essential to fully funding all of our Senate campaigns. Please give your crucial support to the DSCC once more. Please click here to make a secure online donation of $100, $150 or more. Every contribution counts, and for the next 24 hours, it counts double. If you give now, your contribution will be matched dollar for dollar through the generosity of a group of Democratic Senators. In the last six years, we've seen an energy bill written by oil companies, a prescription drug bill written by pharmaceutical lobbyists, and a global warming policy run by the biggest polluters. Only in the out-of-touch world of this Republican Congress could public service mean raising their own pay nine times without raising the minimum wage once. Abroad, the threats facing our country are serious and growing: a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan, a defiant North Korea, a near-nuclear Iran, and a war in Iraq that our intelligence community says is "breeding a deep resentment of U.S. involvement in the Muslim world and cultivating supporters for the global jihadist movement."

When I travel the country, what I hear again and again from thousands of Americans is that they're fed up with lies and excuses. They're sick of being patronized and bullied. They're tired of opening the newspaper every day and seeing nothing but bad news. And yet, they're hopeful. They're energized. They've recognized that in our Democracy their political will is a renewable resource - that our voices and votes, together, can take back our country. And we will. Across the country, there are Democratic candidates for the United States Senate who want to go to Washington to work for us. The Democratic Party is the only party you can count on to achieve broad-based economic growth. It's the only party you can count on to balance a budget. It's the only party you can count on to protect the environment and to understand the realities of an interdependent world. The Republicans are out of ideas. All they have left is fear. This year, that's not going to work. But to keep our momentum, we need to match their resources, and we can't do it without you. We have 18 days left to take back our country. Please click here to make a secure online donation of $100, $150 or more. Every contribution counts, and for the next 24 hours, it counts double. If you give now, your contribution will be matched dollar for dollar through the generosity of a group of Democratic Senators. New leadership in the Senate is within our reach. As I write this, Democrats lead in the six races we need to win back the Senate and trail by small margins in several others. Now is the moment we need to redouble our efforts - to extend the leads we have, to close the gaps we can, and to defend our candidates from the desperate attacks we know will be mounted against them. With three weeks until the election, we can't slow down and we can't let up. That's because we can't afford two more years of slogans in the absence of strategies. This November, we need to set our ship of state on a new course. We need to break the Republican stranglehold on the Senate. We need to take back our government and put it back to work for the American people. We have the ideas, we have the candidates, we have great organizations like the DSCC. The ingredient we need for victory is your support. Sincerely, Al Gore P.S. I know a little something about close elections.
