John Kerry sends fund raising Email for Webb

I just received an email from John Kerry entitled 'Don't Blink--Don't Back Down'.

Kerry urges us to 'Act now to support four vitally important Democratic challengers!' including Tammy Duckworth (running to replace Henry Hyde in IL), Harry Mitchell (running against J.D. Hayworth in AZ), Mary Jo Kilroy (OH)

...AND...

The fourth candidate we're focusing on today is Jim Webb , the former Secretary of the Navy and proud Vietnam veteran. I am honored to have endorsed this Democrat in the crucial Virginia Senate race. Jim is a tireless advocate for veterans, and like the title of his book Born Fighting , he will not be afraid to stand up to this Administration -- no one pushes around a Marine. George Allen, his opponent, has stood with George W. Bush 97% of the time. In this critical election, we don't need to elect another rubber stamp.

Jim understands the many challenges facing Americans today: skyrocketing health care costs, the outsourcing of jobs and the lack of a level playing field. Jim knows President Bush has no plan in Iraq, and Jim will fight every day for real national security, unlike George Allen who says he's bored in the Senate, bored at a time when America's soldiers are caught in the crossfire in Iraq. Time magazine reported that Jim is "George Allen's worst nightmare."

Please help George Allen's nightmare come true by supporting Jim Webb in this crucial Senate race.


(Bold highlights are mine.)

Hopefully, this will convince enough 'Real' Democratic voters that Webb is the one that deserves their vote on Tuesday.

Awesome!!! (Lowell - 6/7/2006 11:42:57 AM)
Thanks for sharing this.


THANK YOU SENATOR KERRY!!!!! (TurnVirginiaBlue - 6/7/2006 2:01:45 PM)
That's AWESOME!!!!!!


Based on his past e-mail fundraisers (beachmom - 6/7/2006 2:53:37 PM)
This should bring in some needed cash into the Webb campaign.  As Kerry once said about himself, "I'm a good person to be in the fox hole with, and I know that we're in a fight right now."

Webb's a lucky guy.



Yeah, he is. (phriendlyjaime - 6/7/2006 11:56:07 PM)
He'd be a lot luckier if Harris Miller would do his Democratic duty and drop out of this race.  Sorry, but after these endorsements, it would behoove him to get out while he can save some face.

I hope he realizes he will never work again for the Dem party should he stay in this race.



When I got home from work... (Loudoun County Dem - 6/7/2006 7:44:34 PM)
my wife informed me that we also received a robo call from Kerry for Webb...


this is great (TurnVirginiaBlue - 6/7/2006 7:49:40 PM)
Looks like the Democrats know that Webb can beat Allen and are out to make that happen!


working the phones (TurnVirginiaBlue - 6/7/2006 8:59:03 PM)
We really owe one to Kerry.

I'm noticing people are mentioning the robo Kerry call
on the phones and they are very impressed by that.



It was an excellent call. Does anyone have... (Lowell - 6/7/2006 9:43:11 PM)
a transcript?  I couldn't save it.


Just sent a quick thank you email . . . (JPTERP - 6/7/2006 10:10:22 PM)
to www.johnkerry.com.  We still have a lot of work to do to make it through the primary--but this gesture on the part of Senator Kerry and the DSCC is exactly the kind of support that we need.


Excellent idea... (Loudoun County Dem - 6/7/2006 10:21:55 PM)
I did as well and I sent a small donation to each of his endorsees.


I just received a follow up fund raising Email From Senator Kerry... (Loudoun County Dem - 6/8/2006 11:08:08 AM)
Over at their posh headquarters on First Street -- just a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol -- they're sitting around scratching their heads. They just had to spend over $5 million in national GOP money to hold on to the California House seat vacated by Randy "Duke" Cunningham.

They eked out a "victory" by pouring in close to $100 for every vote cast in favor of their candidate -- in a district so Republican, they shouldn't have had to lift a finger.

Looking ahead to 435 House races, 33 Senate races, and hundreds of state and local contests, the strategists at Republican Party headquarters know that their $100 a vote formula just doesn't work.

They can't buy their way out of this one.

There aren't enough heavy-hitting Bush Pioneers left on the planet to help 2006 GOP candidates overcome their Iraq mistakes, their Katrina incompetence, and their miserable record of failure on everything from homeland security to health care to the environment.

But we've got a formula that works.

Act now to support four key Democratic candidates

We're throwing the entire weight of our online community behind strong Democratic candidates running in the closest, most critical races of 2006. And we're not letting up until we see them through to victory.

Can we count on you to act right now? Support Tammy Duckworth, a proud Iraq war veteran running a tough, spirited campaign in Illinois. Stand with Harry Mitchell from Arizona as he takes on J.D. Hayworth, so out of the mainstream that he even stands out in a GOP House packed with extremists.

Help Mary Jo Kilroy win a critical race in Ohio against a high-ranking member of the GOP leadership. And put it on the line for Jim Webb, a tough Marine running an all-out Senate race in Virginia.

Act now to support four key Democratic candidates

Strong, committed candidates like these are going to give the Republicans fits on November 7th. And then they're going to help you and me move America in a new, more promising direction.

Pick one or two candidates to help. Or, better still, give all four of them a donation right now -- at the point in the campaign when your gift can make an enormous difference.

Let's get it done.

On to victory,

John Kerry
