Less Than 12 Hours! by Reince Priebus

Catherine, In the last few weeks, the Obama Administration has been wrought with scandal.

There are less than 12 hours remaining until our next big fundraising deadline— now more than ever we need your help to hold President Obama accountable. Contribute $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can today to help us keep up the fight! Thank you, Reince Priebus Chairman, Republican National Committee

Looming Deadline by Sara Armstrong

Catherine, Tomorrow is an important fundraising deadline for us – and it comes at a critical time. As you know, the Internal Revenue Service has admitted to targeting and harassing conservative nonprofit groups. To make matters worse, the same people who oversaw this scandal will be in charge of implementing Obamacare. Democrats hope Republicans will let this slide. But we can’t do that. Americans deserve accountability from their government and the transparency President Obama promised them on the campaign trail. If the IRS played politics with nonprofit groups, how can we trust they won’t play politics with our health care? As implementation of President Obama’s disastrous health care law commences,  we know that putting the people who led the IRS scandal in charge is a recipe for disaster, and this is why we need your help. Help us meet our monthly fundraising goals. Contribute $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can today to help us keep this Administration accountable. Thanks, Sara Armstrong RNC Chief Operating Officer

You can support PBS for a quarter for less than the cost of a single military aircraft. Let's see, we dropped one on a local city about 15 months ago, they grounded half a fleet due to technical issues for a few months recently. Congress was recently trying to force the army to accept new tanks that the army says are obsolete for the job at a price that is obscene.

In the 1850s Abraham Lincoln, I believe, was given a total of $100 to campaign with. He spent a fraction of that total. In 2012, there was so much money flying around no one knew where it was coming from and who was saying what.

So instead of sticking your hand out and begging for loose change, let's address the serious issue of campaign finance. QUALITY over QUANTITY! I do not see why we cannot put a limit of up to $1 million on each campaign (or whatever is reasonable given the price of a television commercial) thus forcing candidates to think wisely about how they'll spend it, rather than flooding the airwaves with pointless babble and misinformation.

Let's go back to PBS. Do we really need 15 Gubernatorial debates in VA this year? Why not have the 5 McAuliffe proposes, which is reasonable since there are roughly 5 regions in VA, and air them ALL on PBS. Wouldn't this be the reasonable use of public television?

Are we as citizens better off when candidates spend more money? I do not receive anything but a headache from the television companies and the airlines. Traffic is a nightmare whenever a politician comes to town. Yes, the police force will get paid for their services, but does it make me safer because of it? Or are we asking already taxed police officers to work additional hours and denying them the rest days that are necessary for them to perform at peak levels during normal times? I'm not sure that I want tired and possibly grumpy police officers protecting me from criminals because they had to work on their day off to protect some politician who makes triple their salary and no potential loss of benefits.

7 Days Left! by Sara Armstrong

Catherine, There is only one week left until the end of the month, and we need your help to reach our fundraising goals.   2013 is gearing up to be an exciting year for the Republican Party and the RNC is preparing to build out an expansive field operation – working on the ground in more communities earlier than ever before. The RNC is committed to supporting Republican candidates up and down the ticket, which requires significant financial resources. Contribute $25, $50, $100, or whatever you can to help us reach our monthly goals as we work to elect more Republicans who will stand up to the Obama Administration. Thank you, Sara Armstrong RNC Chief Operating Officer

FW: Do their damn jobs by Reince Priebus

Catherine,

See below - this is outrageous! In an brash effort to raise money, Democrats are claiming Republicans are making up "so-called scandals." The falsehoods and cover ups coming out of the White House are very real, and very alarming.

If you agree it's wrong for the Democrats to continue to deflect blame, contribute $5 or more and help us hold them accountable.

Thanks,
Reince

Subject: Do their damn jobs

Friend --

Getting in President Obama's way has been the top priority for Republicans in Congress since day one. But now they've gone too far.

They've been caught red-handed making up so-called 'scandals' out of thin air to stir up false rumors of vast 'cover-ups' happening in the White House.

Did they find a single shred of evidence to back up their outrageous claims? No.

But rather than let the truth stand in their way, Republicans actually doctored emails between administration officials about Benghazi. Then, they released them to the press, trying to pass them off as real in order to create their scandal. Fortunately, they got caught in the act when the White House released all of the actual emails.

Tell President Obama you've got his back right now, no matter what Republicans come up with next.

While Republican leaders were focused on stirring up controversy, Michele Bachmann was talking about impeaching President Obama for absolutely no reason, and Republicans in the House voted to repeal Obamacare -- for the 37th time.

That's how they think they should be spending their time and your money.

Make sure the President knows that you stand behind him and his agenda right now -- and that you won't let Republican games distract you from advocating for real change that will benefit all Americans.

Stand with President Obama today -- and send the message to Republicans that it's time to stop playing political games and get back to work for the American people:

Its time for them to do their damn jobs.

Thanks,

Brad
