all-out panic mode



BREAKING: Casino billionaire Adelson gives $5 million to save Cantor and his Tea Party friends

We just got word that Eric Cantor is in all-out panic mode.

His "Young Guns Action Fund" to defeat Democrats had only raised a measly $394k -- so they got billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson to donate $5 million to save the House majority.

We’ve gotta keep the pressure on so we can kick Cantor and his Tea Party friends out of Congress.

Donate $3 or more right now to win a Democratic majority for President Obama

Thank you,

Barack's birthday party



I know Barack will love his birthday celebration this year: It's in the backyard of our home in Chicago.

And you could join him -- make a donation today to be automatically entered for the chance to be there.

Barack is still in love with Chicago, and so am I. From the Baskin Robbins where we had our first date to the basketball courts at Jackson Park where my brother challenged Barack to a game so he could get to know the guy who was dating his sister, Chicago is full of memories of the life we've built together.

But his favorite place in the city is our home, at the end of a quiet block in the neighborhood where he used to teach.

That's why I know he's looking forward to this backyard celebration, and he wants to share the evening with a few grassroots supporters like you. Donate today to be automatically entered to join him for his birthday -- and watch him try to blow out 51 candles in one breath:

I know it will mean a lot to Barack for you to be there,

Michelle

Obama for America

Barack turns 51 next month, and there will be a little celebration at our house in Chicago.

We'd like to give grassroots supporters an opportunity to join in the fun. You guys deserve it, and I know Barack would personally love to see you there.

Donate $23 or whatever you can today, and you'll be automatically entered to get your name added to the guest list.

Barack's birthday is one of the last opportunities he'll get for a little downtime before the final weeks of the election.

That won't stop me from teasing him about all those new gray hairs he has -- though I think it's fair to say he's earned every one.

So if you're standing with Barack for the final months of his final campaign, there's no better way to show it than by making a donation to build this grassroots organization today.

If you do, you'll be automatically entered for the chance to join him for his birthday celebration in Chicago. We'll also fly you out and take care of all the travel arrangements.

It’s a no-brainer: We have the right to know who is influencing our elections. The DISCLOSE Act would force any group spending over $10,000 on an election to reveal their donors, and the Senate votes TONIGHT.

Groups led by Rove, the Koch brothers, and Sheldon Adelson will spend millions to attack Democrats this year, and they’re doing everything they can to keep their billionaire financiers secret. The DISCLOSE Act would hold these groups accountable, but Senate Republicans are threatening to filibuster.

Sign the petition before 5 PM and tell the Senate to pass the DISCLOSE Act and restore transparency to our electoral process.

When Rove and Adelson spend millions to attack President Obama and Democratic candidates, we deserve to know who’s behind the ads.

Put a stop to the secrecy: Stand with Democrats in support of the DISCLOSE Act.

Thanks for standing with us,

Patty Murray
