I know -- it's only March
2005, but the 2006 Senate races are already starting to heat up! With
the Senate in its Easter recess this week, now is the perfect time to begin
planning our strategy to take back Congress -- and our country. PAC for a Change
is going to be on the frontlines of the '06 fight, from now through Election
Day. The
right-wing Republicans have a record of failure that they can't hide from,
and we're going to hold them accountable. We need to work together
-- starting right now -- to fight hard for progressive candidates across
America. Please contribute to PAC for a Change today! 33 Senate seats are up in
2006 -- 18 of those are currently held by Democrats (including Independent
Jim Jeffords of Vermont) and only 15 of those are held by Republicans. Further,
two good Democratic Senators, my friends Paul Sarbanes from Maryland and Mark
Dayton from Minnesota, are retiring in 2006 -- leaving 2 open Democratic
seats to defend, versus only one open seat for the Republicans. So we've got our work cut
out for us in having to defend more total Senate seats than the
Republicans, and having to defend more open seats as well. But, even if some
of the numbers aren't in our favor, we have the issues squarely on our
side. We won't let the Republicans avoid the consequences for all of
the damage they've done:
Please support PAC for a Change today! You are the key to giving me the resources we
need to change the Senate. I want to contribute directly to those
progressive candidates who understand that the things that make our country
great are under attack and who know that unless we pick up seats, our ability
to stop the Karl Rove destruction machine will be further weakened. With your help, I will make sure that
Americans know the truth, telling people across the country that while the
ideologues play politics with a poor woman's life, they do absolutely NOTHING
for millions of Americans who are in desperate need of health care, all the
while giving daily gifts to the large pharmaceutical companies and HMOs. When I stood up to Condoleezza Rice to hold
her accountable for her past actions, the right-wing extremists tried
everything they could to demean me. When I stopped the Presidential
vote count for a few hours to shed light on the serious problems in Ohio,
they said I was on the fringe, even though these Election Day shenanigans
were well documented. When I continue to call the war in Iraq a
disaster, they try to isolate me. Well, you can make a statement that you stand
with me by contributing to my PAC today and getting a few others to do the
same. It doesn't have to be much, but if lots of you respond to this,
it will make it possible for us to help in a big way! Please contribute $25, $100, $500, or more to
PAC for a Change today! All of this work will make a huge difference
next November -- but we have to start now. Thank you so much for all of
your support. I can't do it without you. In Friendship,
Barbara Boxer
