Below is the latest RNC e mail I received titled "Sprint to Victory" which goes over their grassroots game plan to try and keep full power in Congress in this election.
Democrats MUST be aware of these activities and what the other side is doing in order to help the candidates who we are supporting to run the best possible campaigns against the Bush rubber stamp candidates who the RNC is supporting!
Democrats also MUST be aware of these other hard core GOP activities to try and keep full power in Congress in this election:
In a Pivotal Year, GOP Plans to Get Personal
Millions to Go to Digging Up Dirt on Democrats
By Jim VandeHei and Chris Cillizza
Washington Post Staff Writers
Sunday, September 10, 2006; Page A01
"Republicans are planning to spend the vast majority of their sizable financial war chest over the final 60 days of the campaign attacking Democratic House and Senate candidates over personal issues and local controversies, GOP officials said..."
Mehlman to spend $60M, five times Dean+óGé¼Gäós $12M
By Alexander Bolton
"The Republican National Committee (RNC) will spend its entire bank account, $60 million or more, helping Republicans try to retain control of Congress in the midterm elections..."
The bottom line is that Bush and the extreme GOP leadership are absolutely desperate to try and keep full power in Congress in this election to avoid being held to any form of serious accountability by Congress for their activities and policies!
It is that plain and simple and Democrats will ignore and underestimate the GOP at their own peril.
It does not matter what the polls look like or how badly that Bush and the GOP are messing up. Polls and circumstances can change in a heartbeat. Each and every race has to be fought as hard, tough, and as smart as possible against a very well financed GOP that controls most of the media and that has the bully pulpit!
Please forward this on so that ALL Democrats will not take anything for granted in this election and will know what the GOP is doing to try and keep their power!

An excellent example for all of us to follow and what we all need to be doing to help fight against extreme right wing Neocon smear propaganda which will help our local candidates to win their races!

Dear Mitchell,
The lesson of the last two elections is clear. Republicans beat the odds and win
when we get to work doing what we do best - reaching out to neighbors and energizing people to get involved.
Starting today, we're taking it to a whole new level with the September Sprint to Victory, an unprecedented series of neighborhood house parties, door-to-door walks, and phone banks that's the first step to victory on November 7. It all begins with you. As a leader in your community, will you host an event in Dallas?
The month of September will be critical to this effort... hundreds of events all across the country leading up to a huge, nationwide day of neighborhood walks on Super Saturday, September 30. And the volunteer who makes the biggest impact during the September Sprint to Victory - with the most people contacted, volunteers recruited, new voters registered and absentee ballot voters referred will receive a special surprise gift autographed by President Bush.
We want to make it as convenient as possible for you to help and we understand if you can't make it on the 30th. That's why, from today through Election Day, we're setting aside three days every week for three different house party themes; you can try out different types of parties and pick the days of the week that work for you.
Turnout Tuesdays: Host a get-together at your home, and then use your free cell phone minutes to call voters in this year's most critical House and Senate contests. We'll provide a list of names and the script through GOP.com. All you have to bring is your enthusiasm to support Republican candidates.
House Party Thursdays: Bring friends together for a GOP-themed house party - and pick your own action, whether that's calling voters, handing out absentee ballot information, recruiting volunteers or hosting a local candidate meet & greet. Create your party easily online - we'll even send the invitations and driving directions to your guests.
Super Saturdays: Join us for the biggest event of the month on September 30 or make any weekend your Super Saturday. Go door-to-door in your neighborhood or call voters using free weekend cell phone minutes - and then invite folks back home to watch the big game.
Join us on September 30 - or anytime this September. Get the inside track to earning your special gift by creating your September event (or events) today.
Sincerely,
Ken Mehlman
Chairman, Republican National Committee
