DCCC Chair Van Hollen: “3-For-3”

DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen sent the following message to DCCC supporters.
You can support Democrat Travis Childers' campaign on ActBlue:

Dear Friend,

Last weekend, we shocked the political establishment yet again. Our victory in Louisiana -- a district that Republicans have held for more than three decades -- sent shockwaves across the political world for the second time this year. We already won the former Republican Speaker Dennis Hastert's old seat in Illinois. Now we won in Louisiana. Let's make it 3 for 3 by winning in Mississippi.

Right now, our Democratic candidate Travis Childers is running neck-and-neck in a special election fight to win another seat that was supposed to be safe for Republicans.

With Vice President Dick Cheney and his deep-pocketed Big Oil special interests working hard to try and defeat Travis, I need your help today so Travis can stay strong and help turn another red seat blue.

Please give a generous gift to Childers for Congress to deliver the next blow to the GOP's hopes of giving America a third term of Bush-Cheney policies.

Travis Childers is exactly the kind of candidate that Republicans fear the most. He shares the values of hardworking families in his district and is committed to creating good-paying jobs, fighting for children's health care, and restoring fiscal responsibility.

The Republicans are so terrified at the prospect of watching a third straight district go from red to blue that they're sending in none other than Dick Cheney to campaign for Travis's opponent.

These days, Dick Cheney and his Big Oil friends need all of the allies in Congress they can get to protect the oil industry's surging profits at the expense of middle class families. But you and I know that whenever Cheney is called in to try and save the day, it shows how desperate the Republicans are. In addition to sending in Cheney, the Republicans are gearing up their favorite shadowy attack-machine, Freedom's Watch, to spend millions of special interest dollars in slash-and-burn style attacks against Travis.

Please give a generous gift to help Travis Childers fight back against the Cheney- Freedom's Watch 'betting the ranch' style of attacks.

By winning in Illinois and Louisiana, our Democratic candidates proved that they could beat the Karl Rove attack machine. While the Republicans tried to run special interest-fueled campaigns of distraction, our Democratic candidates talked about bringing change on the greatest challenges facing struggling families in the district.

Together we can make it 3-for-3 by making Travis Childers our newest fighter for change in Washington.

Thanks for everything you do.
