Drew —

The 2012 elections are upon us.

Two years ago this month, the disastrous Supreme Court ruling, Citizens United, opened the floodgates to unlimited corporate money in politics. And for the last two years, we, as a nation, have been paying the price.

We’ve seen firsthand the brand of Tea Party extremism that money can buy. It’s one that neglects our middle class and our most vulnerable — from our children, to our seniors, to our working families fighting to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads.

These same Republican extremists take no shame in protecting the billionaires and Big Oil companies that spend millions to attack Democrats.

We have set a goal of recruiting 1,000 new Democrats dedicated to 2012 before tonight’s New Hampshire Primary results are announced. Your support will help show our candidates, our opponents, and the media that grassroots Democrats are ready to hold Tea Party Republicans accountable every step of the way through the 2012 election.

Democrats are fighting every day to hold Republicans accountable for their reckless policies, but we cannot do it without your support.

While Republicans rely on their secret billionaire backers, we rely on you. Individual donors like you contribute more than 75% of DCCC funds — and 90 cents on every dollar goes directly to help Democrats win in 2012.

Together, we can overcome the special interest money fueling the Republicans’ campaigns, affirm our core Democratic values and win a Democratic House Majority in 2012.

Thank you.

Nancy Pelosi
