It isn't too late to donate to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee: Contribute Now
I just got an excellent email from them:With their backs against the wall, Republicans have launched one of the dirtiest campaigns ever to stop Democrats from capturing control of Congress next week.
Take the attacks on Ginny Schrader, a 60-year old grandmother of four with a powerful personal story and a successful business career. Just look at how Republicans are presenting this bright and accomplished candidate who they fear will capture this hotly contested seat presently held by a retiring Republican:
"Ginny Schrader raised money for her campaign by showing a film filled with propaganda that Hezbollah-related organizations offered to distribute."
That was how a recent mailer from the National Republican Congressional Committee described Schrader, simply for showing Fahrenheit 9/11. You can disagree with Michael Moore, but to associate a candidate with Hezbollah, a notorious terrorist organization, simply for showing his film, is just dirty, shocking, amazing, and outrageous. Unfortunately, this is just all too familiar territory for the Republicans. Help us fight back against this outrage by contributing right now:

Far from an isolated incident, Karl Rove, Tom DeLay and their ethically-challenged brain trust is unleashing a torrent of smears, distortions, and wild accusations to cling to power.
Look at their accusations that David Ashe, an Iraq War veteran and attorney who volunteered at Ground Zero, of "weakening the War on Terror." Or linking Lois Murphy, a Pennsylvania mother and former Justice Department employee, to the Taliban by flashing "sanctioned rape" and "public executions" across the TV screen.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the
president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is
not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American people."
- Teddy Roosevelt
"Government has a final responsibility for the well-being of
its citizenship. If private cooperative endeavor fails to provide work
for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffering
hardship from no fault of their own have a right to call upon the
Government for aid; and a government worthy of its name must make
fitting response."
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions, but laws must and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
- Thomas Jefferson
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home."
"All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain
degree."
- James Madison
"I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, in human liberty as the source of national action, in the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas. It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. For liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves."
- John F. Kennedy
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
