David vs. Goliath

by Charles Chamberlain, DFA Field Director [courtesy of Blog for America]

The right-wing extremist groups are at it again. These Bush-Republicans are swift-boating Democrats who voted against granting immunity to telecommunication companies who spied on innocent Americans.

The so-called "Defense of Democracies" lobbying group is smearing 15 Democrats in a two million dollar ad campaign. They claim Congress would rather be on vacation then work to keep America safe.

It's a lie. And if we don't fight back quickly, then the swift-boating will stick and Democrats who stood up to President Bush will be at risk.

It's David vs. Goliath. They have a multi-million dollar war chest, we have you. If 1,000 of us join together with contributions of $100 each then we'll have the resources to fight back and win. Contribute right now:

The National Journal reports that the majority of the money funding this smear campaign is from just one mega-donor.

Time and time again, DFA has proven that when individuals come together, we can beat the best-funded, most powerful special interests. Whether it's supporting underdog candidates like Donna Edwards against the Beltway establishment or protecting Social Security from Wall Street traders, we've proved that people-powered campaigns win.
