>Dear MoveOn Member,
>
>This is it. It's down to the wire.
>
>Nobody knows how dozens of tight races across the county are going to go. 
>Thousands of you are working right now for these campaigns -- making final 
>phone calls, driving folks to the polls, getting out the votes. Thank you 
>for the incredible work you're doing.
>
>The support you've given to campaigns in this election is historic. 
>Through more than 100,000 individual donations averaging just $36 each, 
>you've given more than $3.5 million in key races. Just over the last 
>weekend, you gave $650,000 to the Mondale campaign, which was in desperate 
>need. This has *never* happened before.
>
>But it's not just the money, it's the real human energy and enthusiasm you 
>bring back to politics that has made such a big difference for these 
>campaigns. We've attached a great letter from Senatorial candidate Bill 
>Bradbury to the MoveOn phone bankers and volunteers below, which says this 
>far better than we could.
>
>No matter what happens tonight and tomorrow, together we are a force to be 
>reckoned with. We, the American people, will take back our parties and our 
>government.
>
>Yesterday we completed our countdown campaign -- each day listing why we 
>must act and what we can do. Wrapping up the countdown, here's what we've 
>done, together, in just the last twenty days:

> From Bill Bradbury, Candidate for U.S. Senate in Oregon
>
>The support from MoveOn and your members has been overwhelming and I have 
>been personally inspired and motivated by your support. So thank you. 
>Thank you. Thank you!
>
>I was told by many inside-the-beltway consultants that it was wrong 
>politically to oppose the President's push for war in Iraq, but I put 
>politics aside and spoke out on what I believe is right. That could have 
>been a lonely island of dissent, but the outpouring of support from MoveOn 
>members has been heartening and I believe it's led many Oregonians to more 
>carefully consider our policy towards Iraq. That's leadership, and it 
>shows the power of individuals using their voice to speak up collectively 
>to effect change.
>
>My campaign has been outspent by Republican Gordon Smith by over $5 
>million - much of which WAS spent on distorting attack ads. However, all 
>that money can't change the facts and they are that Gordon Smith has a 
>shameful record on environmental stewardship, he voted to give the 
>President a blank check for war in Iraq, and he opposes a woman's right to 
>choose - even denying military servicewomen access to an abortion on a 
>military hospital, even if they pay for it themselves. Oregon deserves 
>better and so does America.
>
>The fact is, running against a slick, multi-millionaire incumbent funded 
>by the big corporate special interests, I haven't been able to afford to 
>get out all of the facts on Gordon Smith's record in expensive television 
>ads. However, because of the support of Moveon members and our own local 
>volunteer efforts, we are rapidly closing the gap in the polls. This would 
>not be possible without your help. Keep the faith. I know that phone 
>banking can be frustrating and some Oregonians can react negatively to 
>your efforts. But the calls you're making are in the best spirit of 
>grassroots democracy. Each of you is making a difference and your efforts 
>are enormously appreciated. So again...thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
>
>Please keep up the hard work through 8 pm Tuesday night. If we can 
>increase turn-out even marginally, we will win and it will be because of 
>your efforts!
>
>Sincerely,
>
>Bill Bradbury
