| Urgent campaign deadline tonight | |
| 2004-08-31 | |
| Mary Beth keeps sending me mail, why I don't know. I thought I'd share. Dear Steve, We're closing in on one of the most important deadlines of this presidential election year. Tonight at midnight, the Democratic Party will reach its critical August fundraising deadline. Every dollar you contribute today will be matched by a group of dedicated Democrats. This program was only supposed to match $2 million in contributions -- but these supporters have upped their challenge, and now will match EVERY dollar that you contribute before midnight tonight. Make your contribution today and double your impact: https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html A year ago, nobody thought that you could beat George Bush's fundraising machine. Yet through your contributions, our campaign was able to outraise George Bush every month from March through July. Now you have a chance to make history again and help the Democratic Party out raise the Republican Party. Never has it been more important that we stand by John Kerry, John Edwards, and other Democrats locked in tough must-win races. Your matched contributions will fund the most comprehensive field program in the history of modern politics and deliver the message that a stronger America begins at home. During this week, the Republican Party will try and put their spin on what amounts to a steady record of Missions Not Accomplished. Drug companies count their billions while seniors count the number of pills they can afford. Halliburton counts its billions while our troops count the number of soldiers in their unit without body armor. The Saudis count their billions while we count the rising cost of gasoline. The friends of George Bush and Dick Cheney count their tax refunds while the average American counts the days until the next paycheck. America can do better, and you can help. Please make a contribution today: https://www.democrats.org/support/kerry.html Sincerely, Mary Beth Cahill Campaign Manager Kerry-Edwards 2004

| #13 Halliburton counts its billions while our troops count the number of soldiers in their unit without body armor. I wonder how many units of our military she has contacted. What count did she end up with? |

| #12 I think Bill and Hillary set this whole thing up so the entire left wing of the Democratic Party will crash and burn-- and then they and their DLC gang can pick up the pieces four years from now. |

| #11 A little bird told me that Mary-Beth is getting kicked to the curb. Must be that Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy. |

| #10 John Fn who? Are you that socialist economy, multiculti defense, lying traitorous sack of shit girly man I've been hearing about? Better lay low, the Governator rocked and rolled tonight - and I think his boys are looking for your ass, heh. |

| #8 GK: Reminds of something an 82d Airborne Colonel said, " don't kill that one, they may replace him with someone who can shoot straight." This is why Sadr has to stay alive. This guy is the lemming at the head of the pack. |

| #6 ....while Mary Beth counts her last hours as the Kerry-Edwards campaign manager. Darn it. Reminds of something an 82d Airborne Colonel said, " don't kill that one, they may replace him with someone who can shoot straight." |

| #4 Dear Mary Beth Cahill: Bite me. I was a Democrat for 31 years. Now I'm not. You ought to ask yourself why. You also ought to ask yourself what the fuck you could possibly have been thinking when you nominated John F'ing Kerry-- of all people-- as your candidate for president, and told him to run as-- of all things-- a "war hero." You people are out of your rabid-assed minds. Sincerely, Dave D. |

| #3 Halliburton counts its billions while our troops count the number of soldiers in their unit without body armor. Body armor that Kerry voted against buying. |

| #2 Drug companies count their billions while seniors count the number of pills they can afford. Halliburton counts its billions while our troops count the number of soldiers in their unit without body armor. The Saudis count their billions while we count the rising cost of gasoline. The friends of George Bush and Dick Cheney count their tax refunds while the average American counts the days until the next paycheck. The genuinely scary thing is, most of the people she's appealing to really buy these lies. All the more reason to cast your vote for W and send Mary Beth into a tizzy. |

| #1 I thought he couldn't accept contributions after the Dem convention. Wasn't that the reason he proposed not accepting the nomination at the convention, but later? Doesn't matter, of course. The rules never apply to the Dems. |
