Why is the left trying to raise money to fight it?

Diane,

With just 18 days to go, our grassroots volunteer-to-voter contact machine to defeat the Tea Party Ten and Michele Bachmann is in full throttle.

So, unfortunately, are major SuperPACs who are dumping unprecedented sums into these races at the last minute.

Our goal has never been to match them on money. We just can’t do it.

It’s always been about people like you getting involved, to power this grassroots campaign and make a statement against Tea Party extremism, and the toxic influence of unlimited money in our elections.

More than 65,000 people have made a contribution. We need your support, too.

Just $1 is all it takes to be counted in this effort to hold Tea Party extremists accountable. Chip in now.

This campaign wouldn’t have been possible if we didn’t have 3 million CREDO activists behind us.

These activists have donated nearly $2.5 million dollars online to build this campaign. That’s not-quite $1 for every progressive who is standing behind this campaign.

We want to reach $1 for everyone. Because this campaign is about stopping the attack on all of our progressive values.

Of course, we know that not everyone can or will donate. But even just $1 will help make sure our grassroots effort has the resources, materials and equipment to succeed in this final sprint.

And it will count you in the effort to stem the radical attacks on women’s rights, environmental protections, Social Security and Medicare.

Donate $1 to show you’re with us in the fight to defeat the Tea Party Ten and Michele Bachmann.

Thanks for all you do,

Becky Bond, Political Director
CREDO Action
