Subject: Take Down Tom DeLay

Dear Jenifer,

Tom DeLay is falling apart. Against all odds, the Republican House
Majority Leader faces a do-or-die fight for re-election. 

You can help him self-destruct by putting the first-ever Democracy for
America TV ad on the air in his district:

The message is simple: Tom DeLay is an embarrassment. He operates the
most corrupt money-for-influence machine in Washington. And he abuses
the power of his office--in one case sending the Homeland Security
forces after his political opponents. 

His top aides have been arrested and indicted. Even his own colleagues
on the Ethics Committee (many of them recipients of DeLay machine money)
documented his wrongdoing--but they failed to hold him accountable.

Only the Texans in his district can do that now. Get this message to
them by putting this ad up in DeLay's backyard:

We weren't planning to go on the air. We focus on person-to-person
political action--building a community of active citizens who understand
that we are all in this together. Real people on the ground get that
message out better than television does. But we have an incredible
opportunity. We spoke out early against DeLay--and now there's a chance
to turn this unexpectedly competitive race into a major upset.

It will take $100,000 to get this ad on the air. If you want to take
down Tom DeLay, contribute now to get this ad up by Wednesday night. It
can only happen with your help:

Tom DeLay doesn't represent Texas--he represents the highest bidder. And
his scorched-earth tactics degrade politics and undermine our democracy.

Getting rid of Tom DeLay will be a victory for decency and integrity in
our political process. And it will demonstrate that even the man who
once said, "I am the federal government," can be held accountable.

Thank you,

Lindsay Lewis
National Finance Director
