I want to thank you for your support. In addition to the thousands of individuals like you who have invested in this campaign, we have been joined by national organizations like Democracy for America, MoveOn.org, AFL-CIO and all the major national labor unions, The League of Conservation Voters and NARAL in this fight. Today I write to ask for your support one more time. With your help, we can make the final push as we near Election Day: March 7, 2006!
I am truly humbled by what can only be called a genuine groundswell of support. Contributions have come into this campaign from ordinary men and women all over this country, working and raising families, and contributing $10, $25 and $50 at a time. It reminds me of my early campaigns, when we raised money by throwing a Barbeque, and folks gave $5 or $10 for a plate. These small contributions add up to be a force to be reckoned with, and just like each and every vote is important, so are every one of these valuable donations.
Make a contribution to keep us going strong until Election Day!
Because of your generous support I was able to get my message out on television on February 17th and will have the resources to stay on TV until Election Day. Our campaign has gained national attention, and has been covered by CNN, USA Today, The National Journal and news outlets all over the state of Texas.
We are now just 5 short days away from Election Day. We've done the work necessary to get our message out, now we need to turn the voters out. This is the heart of any campaign operation. There are over 200 precincts in this District, stretching from north of San Antonio down several hundred miles to the Mexico border. In 2004 this race was decided by a mere 58 votes. We know that we are moving closer and closer to a victory, and you can help us in our final push. Help us today by sponsoring a precinct with your contribution today. $50 can pay for the lit to distribute to all the doors in a targeted Dem precinct!
Thanks to the support of the online community, this campaign has gained enormous momentum and made tremendous strides. I will work hard to repay that support, by representing the working men and woman of this country, and of this District, every single day of my career in the United States Congress.
Please help return me to Congress today by contributing one more time.
Again, thank you for honoring me with your hard-earned dollars. I will be forever grateful to you for choosing to invest in my campaign and helping me fight to go back to Congress, where I will represent this District, and real Democrats everywhere, with pride.
