Rightroots
is a broad coalition of conservatives joining together in support of a
solid slate of Republican candidates for the US House and Senate.
Properly funded, these candidates represent our best chance to retain control of Congress and to enact a conservative agenda.
Rightroots is trying to bring in 100 donations per candidate between September 6th and September 20th.
If you’ve been planning to give to some or all of the Rightroots candidates, now is the time to do it.
You can read about each of the candidates and why they are being supported HERE.
Again, these are races that can be won if WE make it happen. In each of
these cases, it’s advertising money that’s going to tip the balance.
Have you noticed how effective the left has been in raising money among
the nutroots? Kos says “donate to this guy” and boom!–thousands roll in within minutes. We need to start competing. We need to raise 100 donations per candidate in the next two weeks.
MAKE YOUR DONATIONS NOW!
Mary Katharine Ham:
Speaker Pelosi is what’s before us if we sit on our hands.
I didn’t want to think about it either, but it’s true. Many are saying
the House is in serious, serious danger, and the Senate may be, too.
I’m not even going to address Senate leadership should Republicans lose
control, because it makes me shudder so much, I can’t type properly,
and that wouldn’t bode well for the remainder of this column.

We’ve got Mike Bouchard taking on “Dangerously Incompetent” Debbie Stabenow
in Michigan. We’ve got Diana Irey taking on Jack “Condemn the Marines
as Cold-Blooded Murderers Before Their Trial” Murtha in Pennsylvania.
We’ve got Michael Steele taking on the entire Democratic establishment
in Maryland. We’ve got Thomas Kean taking on Democratic corruption in New Jersey.
Lorie Byrd:
You can make a difference and help decide who will control
Congress for the next two years, but time is running out. Candidates
need money to run ads between now and election day. Rightroots is a great way to make a difference.
