Breaking News: GOP Chaos Erupts in Special Election
DCCC Executive Director Jon Vogel sent the following Rapid Response Alert to DCCC supporters:
Friend--
Late yesterday news broke that the moderate Republican
Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, candidate in the hard-fought special election in
New York's 23rd Congressional district, had been driven out and the Republican
party was throwing their weight behind the Palin/Limbaugh/Glen Beck endorsed
radical tea party candidate instead.
Today, the moderate Republican
threw her support behind our proud Democratic candidate Bill Owens.
It has never been clearer that the Republican Party has been
hijacked by extreme right wing ideologues with a radical agenda that would
effectively dismantle Social Security and Medicare, and are out of step with a
vast majority of Americans.
Eight extreme right wing groups spent
more than $1 million on this campaign including the Minute Men, Club for Growth
and the Family Research Council.
This means your work and your continued
support and dedication have never been more critical as we face our one-year-out
reporting deadline and this election on Tuesday.
We are up against a
well-funded extremist GOP who will stop at nothing to win and whose agenda could
quite literally take us backwards to the days of Bush-Cheney.
But,
you and I can't let that happen. I will continue to keep you posted on news of
this race continues and thank you again for standing with us. We will need you
now more than ever.
Thanks,
Jon Vogel
DCCC Executive Director
