Dear Shawn, I am writing to wish you Happy New Year and to personally thank you for your support this year. Our accomplishments would not have been possible without the support of Democrats like you. As we celebrate the holidays with our family and friends, let us reflect on why it is critical that we work so hard to take America in a New Direction.In 2008, we will have almost 75 Republican seats in play, and 30 vulnerable Democrats to protect. House Republicans have already transferred more than $3 million from their Members' campaign accounts into the NRCC this month. On top of that, they have Republican outside groups ready to spend hundreds of millions of dollars against us next year.
Midnight tonight may mark the New Year, but it also marks a critical year-end FEC deadline for all Democrats. If you haven't already done so, please go to www.dccc.org/midnight and give. We are just $33,512 away from our goal and your urgent donation will be matched by House Democrats. The resources we bring in today will show our strength before the end of the year, and carry us into 2008, where we will expand our Democratic majority and overcome Roadblock Republicans who are blocking the change the American people so desperately want. To give now, please contribute at www.dccc.org/midnight.
Thank you again for your support and Happy New Year!

Dear Shawn,Elections can't be won today, but they can be lost.
There was an article in a local Washington paper that reports that our Republican counterpart, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), is going to be back in the "black" after Republican leaders funneled over $3 million into their accounts to help put them on track for 2008. Republicans will use that new cash to directly attack our Democratic candidates.
We cannot allow the Republican end-of-year surge to go unanswered. Our FEC deadline is midnight tonight -- we have just hours to go before this critical deadline where the media, political pundits and Republicans will use the totals in our bank accounts to judge our chances for success in 2008.
Contribute TODAY and House Democrats will TRIPLE your gift.
Everything hinges on us having a strong start to 2008 -- it can set the stage for everything that happens next November. House Democrats are so committed that they will TRIPLE your contributions before the deadline tonight.
We need your urgent support to reach our goal of ONE MILLION DOLLARS -- we are $33,512 away.
Please give now -- we can't let them take another election.
Contribute TODAY and House Democrats will TRIPLE your gift.
Thank you for your continued support.
Best,
Chris Van Hollen
DCCC ChairmanP.S. There are just hours left before our critical deadline. We need your support to start the New Year right. Contribute TODAY and House Democrats will TRIPLE your gift.
