TELL THE DEMOCRATIC SAFE SEVENTY TO CONTRIBUTE AT PEACE TEAM DOT NET TO HELP THE PEACE TEAM CANDIDATES WHO ARE CALLING FOR OUR TROOPS TO START COMING
[I, personally, did not vote for any Democrats (or, obviously, any Repukes..), this time...but for those who still plan to...and do not agree with war...here's some info for you]
With the polls breaking our way, there are at least seventy Democratic congressional incumbents who have NO serious competition for reelection. Twelve of them are holding campaign war chests in excess of a MILLION dollars. To see who of the Safe Seventy is from your state, please visit the link below:

And yet there are so many other candidates, mostly non-incumbents who have a real shot in their districts, the first real shot in many elections, to take that seat back from a recidivist Bush rubber stamper. In particular, the brave candidates on the Peace Team who are running their election swinging Lie/Die TV spots are standing strong with the kind of courage that will get them elected if only they can get the word out to their constituents.
Without picking on anybody in particular. No, actually, let's definitely pick on somebody in particular. Marty Meehan in the 5th district is sitting on nearly five MILLION dollars right now. Others have called on him to step up to the plate and share the wealth with some of his currently underfinanced fellow candidates.
Yet his press secretary was quoted today as saying they had not received a single call. We KNOW that's not true, because WE CALLED HIS OFFICE OURSELVES TWO DAYS AGO, just when we first asked you to make such calls!! And you can call too, here's his campaign office phone number.
Marty Meehan (MA-05) 978-251-3151
TELL HIM TO CONTRIBUTE AT PEACE TEAM DOT NET
He gives great speeches about how we need to bring our troops home. That's good. But we need more than his ONE vote to turn this policy around. His press secretary says it would be "unfair" to his constituents for him to share his donations with other campaigns. What's unfair about having more votes on your side to WIN on the policy issues your constituents care about?!?!
Contrast this with Barney Frank, also from Massachusetts, who has donated a quarter of a million dollars to help the cause this month alone, much in excess of his "required" dues. We need more examples like Congressman Frank. And we need them in the next 24-48 hours, so we can get ALL the Safe Seventy to step up to the plate in time.
Especially if you are from the 5th District of MA, we need you to call Mr. Meehan's press secretary at the number above and tell them to say the next time somebody asks that people are calling, because YOU are calling. Then click on the link below to get their numbers, and make sure you contact all the incumbents in the Safe Seventy in your own state in the same way.
SAFE SEVENTY LOOKUP: http://www.peaceteam.net/safe_seventy.php
Tell them they weren't just elected to hold their own seat. Tell them they were elected to DELIVER policy change. Ask them how they expect to do that without having enough other members of Congress to vote WITH them. Tell them to be a team player. Tell them YOU have contributed to help the brave candidates at Peace Team dot net, and you don't have five million or even five hundred thousand dollars.
This election is absolute life and death. This is our last chance to take back our democracy. We must have the LARGEST possible vote margins so there can be no question about what the outcome will be. We must all join forces like never before. And we must take absolutely nothing for granted until the concession speeches start rolling in from the other side.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours.
