Mandolin --

We hear you. We’re as frustrated and angry as you are about the way things are going in Washington. House Republicans have failed to accomplish anything and are intent on obstructing everything -- they have turned their backs on the 99%.

The Citizens United decision resulted in a flood of special interest money that helped Tea Party Republicans win last year. Since then, House Democrats and I have met with thousands of activists across the country and heard repeatedly that the time is ripe for a national campaign for clean elections.

Together we can elect reformers who will help change the system so we can send these Tea Party radicals home, win a Democratic Majority, and help reelect President Obama to reignite the America Dream.

But, before we can elect reformers, we must first have the strongest showing possible this Wednesday in one of the most important FEC reporting deadlines of the cycle.

Midnight Wednesday is the first FEC deadline since Republicans derailed our economy again. The media, pundits and our opponents will be scouring over our fundraising totals to try to see if we have the momentum.

Make a gift of $3 today and House Democrats -- who are so committed to ensuring we have the resources we need for our November report -- will match your gift dollar-for-dollar.

Using your contributions, we will we elect reformers who will change Washington. We must have the resources to go toe-to-toe against the tidal wave of special interest money from billionaires intent on protecting their 1% status.

It’s time to stand up and let our voices be heard. It’s time to send the Tea Party home. I need you to get involved today.

Please contribute $3 before Wednesday’s urgent deadline >>

Nancy Pelosi
