ACTION ITEMS!

1. MAKE THIS CALL!

Mike Doyle is unchallenged in his re-election bid, and is sitting on $280,000 in cash right now. Call him at 412-244-9101 to encourage him to transfer some of this cash to the DCCC so it can be sent to more competive races such as PA-4 (Jason Altmire)

UPDATE: CONGRESSMAN DOYLE RESPONDS HERE (OK, we're assuming this is actually posted by Doyle/someone from his office).

2. STILL NOT HOOKED UP TO HELP? WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?

HELP WANTED: DEMOCRATIC VICTORY JUST THREE WEEKS AWAY
America Votes needs your help!

Pennsylvania is one of the – if not the – most hotly contested states in a nationwide Democratic revolution. Unfortunately, Allegheny County could be 95,000 votes short of success – that is, unless you help them get out every single Democratic voter. And, they're not just going out for Democratic votes. They're talking to Libertarians, Independents, even Republicans who they think might be willing to cross the aisle in order to take this state in the right direction this November. They are doing the work that will give Matt Smith, Shawn Flaherty, Frank Dermody, and other progressive candidates for state house tremendous wins on November 7.

America Votes Pennsylvania's ( www.americavotes.org/pa ) SouthwesternPA team needs your help. Join their effort to recruit a 750 member victory team between now and the election. In just four nights this week, their volunteers made 3,000 phone calls – that's double the amount they expected, but a fraction of the amount they need.

HOW CAN YOU, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR NEIGHBORS, AND YOUR FAMILIES STAY INVOLVED TO ENSURE VICTORY?


  • Head out to the field with them on Saturdays to knock on doors. They meet in East Liberty at 9 and are out all day. Of course, any time you can spare they'll accommodate. There are only three weekends left!

  • Come to their Highland Ave office (401 N Highland Avenue, across from Home Depot) to phone infrequent and swing voters any Sunday through Thursday. Their official phonebanking hours are 4:30 – 8:30

  • Come by any day Monday through Friday you have a few minutes to call seniors during the day. Please give them a call in advance (412.661.0847) if you plan to come there during the day.

  • Join them for the final push leading up to and on election day! Saturday, November 4th through Tuesday, November 7th are their official Get Out The Vote days. If you are absolutely swamped for the next three weeks, they really need you for the home stretch.

      Thanks for all you are doing to help elect Jason Altmire and other democrats to Congress.

      For your information, I have already donated over $230,000 to the DCCC and candidates from my campaign committee in addition to raising over $150,000 for the DCCC.

      I spend everyday on the phone raising money for Jason Altmire to keep him on TV. There is no other member of Congress doing more for Jason Altmire than me....just ask him.

      I have campaigned for our candidates in several states and have given Rahm Emmanuel anything he has asked for in terms of my money and time.

      I am totally committed to helping us win the majority in the House and the Senate.

      I sincerely appreciate your interest and concern for our candidates and assure you that I will continue to do everything I can to assist the DCCC and our candidates.

      With 18 days to a new direction for America, I remain

      Sincerely yours.

      Mike Doyle
      Member of Congress
      PA-14

      Congressman Doyle, we thank you for taking time away from your campaign for a flag burning amendment and the support of anti-abortion legislation to give money you don't need (this time) to another right-wing Democrat. As I'm sure you would say, it's damned white of you.

      Mike Doyle is a great vote vote for the majority of Prgressive causes. He also voted against the Iraq war. His office is also approachable. Let's stop beating up the good in the party if we don't agree with them 100%!
