I just got an email in my inbox from Darcy Burner. We really need to help her out!
Here's the email:
I just got off a conference call with our campaign team. We are having an emergency meeting tomorrow morning to make some tough budget decisions. We have 23 hours to decide how much more mail we can afford and what our final week’s TV buy will be.
So far, we have been able to respond in kind to every attack. But they have new attack mail saying that I profit from big oil companies (because I own a retirement 401k) and that I am funded by liberal special interests (because we raise money online). These attacks are ridiculous, but if Republicans invest enough money in them, they will erode our support.
I was hoping to have the time to call many of you today and give you an update, but I am on the road talking to undecided voters, and I am going to keep door-belling in swing precincts until the polls close on November 4th.
Please click here to make tomorrow’s emergency budget meeting a success.
You are the supporters who have been behind our campaign from day one. This race is too close and the stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines now.
Many thanks,
Darcy

I was out canvassing for her this weekend, and one of the people I met, who was a very nice woman who really liked Obama and the Democrats in general, said she was wavering as far as Darcy was involved because she had been seeing a lot of negative ads against her. This made me realise just how effective those attack ads have been, if they can made people who are otherwise totally with us teeter in regards to such an incredible candidate like Darcy. So that's it, folks. She needs our money, and she needs it now. Please help make tomorrow’s emergency budget meeting a success.
(Apologies if fundraising is out-of-bounds for Diaries. I searched in the DKosopedia and didn't find anything.)
