Let me sum up this week for you:
 
President Obama: JOBS, JOBS, JOBS.
The Republican Party: NO, NO, NO.
 
President Obama presented his plan. The only plan Republicans have put forward is to say no to President Obama and yes to big corporations calling the shots, undermining the social safety net we pay for with our taxes, and, if you get sick: you're on your own. In short: their plan is an assault on our values.
 
Their vision is dangerous – and we're in danger of it becoming reality if Republicans flip just FOUR Senate seats in 2012. We can't let that happen.
 
That's why the DSCC needs your help to raise $585,000 before Sept. 30 so we can make sure Democrats don't lose races that we can win. We literally can't afford to fall short.
 
Please give $5, $10 or whatever you can give to the DSCC right now. The DSCC has only 10 days to raise $585,000 and fight the GOP's assault on our values.
 
Rick Perry calls Social Security a "Ponzi scheme" and Mitt Romney compares it to a criminal enterprise. And now one GOP Congressman is complaining that President Obama's plan would force him to live on just $400,000 a year.  Once again the GOP just doesn't understand the challenges Americans are facing today.
 
2012 will decide whether we focus on creating jobs, like Democrats want, or protecting millionaires and big corporations, like Republicans demand. We can win.  But we need your help. 
 
Please give $5, $10 or whatever you can give to the DSCC right now. The DSCC has only 10 days to raise $585,000 and fight the GOP's assault on our values.
 
There are many reasons we're Democrats. But perhaps one of the most important is this: We know that a strong middle class makes our country stronger.  Thanks for joining me to fight for what we believe in.
 
Sincerely,
 
Karen Finney
