Dear Friend,
On November 2, we will elect John Kerry as President. But reversing the damage that George W. Bush and his allies inflicted on our country will require more than just switching residents at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Unless we also restore Democratic control of the U.S. House of Representatives, Tom Delay will do everything he can to thwart the new President. He will particularly use House budget authority to continue pushing the GOP's radical right-wing agenda seeking to divide Americans, rather than unite us.

Your contribution today to the Campaign for a New Majority can bring new leadership in the House that will stand ready to work with President Kerry rather than against him. Leadership that will work to protect our families, our workers, our environment, and the security of our citizens at home and abroad.
A REAL Plan to Win Back the House
The Campaign for a New Majority is a real action plan targeting key races around the country. It is a detailed blueprint designed to give us the 12 seats we need to win back a majority in the House. The same 12 seats that President Kerry will need to right the wrongs of President Bush and Tom DeLay.
The effectiveness of this plan has been demonstrated in special elections in Kentucky, South Dakota, and North Carolina. Three wins in three times up to bat — and two of these victories in areas that voted overwhelmingly for President Bush!

Key to the success of this program is a vastly expanded role for reaching out through the Internet to both activists and interested voters. Your contribution today will help us develop and expand key components including:
Majority Makers: An online tool that allows you to set up your own headquarters to help fundraise and "people-raise" by recruiting new donors and volunteers.
Majority Parties: We are recruiting hundreds of activists nationwide to host gatherings over the next 3 months to energize old and new voters to our cause.
Majority Meetings: We will be organizing a series of events around the country to bring interested Democrats together with Members of Congress and other Democratic candidates to talk about issues, goals, and strategy.
With just 12 additional seats needed to win a New Majority for President Kerry, programs like these can bring thousands of new donors and activists to this fight. Please contribute now:

How vital is it that we achieve this victory?
Just consider the importance of the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission in ensuring the continued safety and security of the American public. As you know, President Bush and Republican leadership stonewalled creating the Commission. And after the report's release, Speaker Hastert insisted that he was in no rush to implement any of the recommendations.
That is why House Democrats gathered in Washington last week to press the Administration on the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. We are committed to seeing that the bipartisan commission's hard work is not buried under bureaucracy or sidelined by Tom DeLay and Dennis Hastert.
A new President and new House leadership is now within our grasp. Please contribute to the Campaign for a New Majority:
