Make a difference before the March 31st fundraising deadline. Support Paul Hodes in New Hampshire and Kirsten Gillibrand in New York. Donate to Paul and Kirsten's campaigns today!

There's no doubt about it: You make a difference.

With your help, WesPAC helped Democrats in 2006 take over both Houses of Congress for the first time in over a decade. And in 2008, you helped Democrats expand our majorities and take back the White House.

Now, two of those candidates you first helped elect to the U.S. House in 2006 are in critical Senate races for 2010: Paul Hodes in New Hampshire and Kirsten Gillibrand in New York. Both are facing the important March 31st fundraising deadline -- their first critical test to show the press, pundits, and their opponents that they have the support they need to win their important Senate races.

Let's make sure they pass this test. Join me and donate to Paul and Kirsten's campaigns now, before the critical March 31st fundraising deadline!

Paul Hodes has been a leader in New Hampshire for decades. He led the first successful criminal environmental prosecution in the state. And when he arrived in Congress, he immediately got to work, passing Michelle's Law to expand health care for college kids when they get sick in school.

In New Hampshire, Democrats control the state legislature, the Governorship, both House seats, and one Senate seat. The open Senate seat that Paul is running for in 2010, being vacated by Republican Judd Gregg, is the last major GOP holdout.

Paul's race is our best opportunity to pick up a Senate seat in 2010. However, with former Republican Senator John Sununu being recruited by his father to run again, it is imperative that Paul's first quarter fundraising numbers are strong. We have to show all the political insiders -- including John Sununu -- that the GOP's tall task isn't just beating Paul, but beating a huge army of grassroots supporters standing with him.

Help Paul show New Hampshire that he's ready to be the 60th Democratic seat in the Senate. Contribute to his campaign today!

In 2006, I went up to NY-20 in the final weekend before the election to campaign with Kirsten Gillibrand. Kirsten was one of the most impressive candidates I met the entire cycle, and I was thrilled we helped her win in a tough, Republican district.

Kirsten is a strong advocate for women and has consistently voted against torture, illegal wiretapping, school vouchers, and disability discrimination. In January 2009, Kirsten was appointed to the U.S. Senate to fill Hillary Clinton's seat when Hillary became Secretary of State.

Now potential opponents are lining up to try and take this seat. And just like Paul's campaign, the media and potential opponents will look hard at this fundraising report to see if she can win.

Please make a difference again. Let's give Kirsten the early support she needs and help her close the March 31st fundraising quarter strong.

Our Clark community first helped elect Paul and Kirsten to the U.S. House in 2006. Now let's help elect them to the U.S. Senate in 2010 -- so they can continue to serve our country in Congress.

Sincerely,

Wes Clark

It's a simple question: do you support President Obama's stimulus package? If so, we need your help to win in New York's District 20. Donate to Scott Murphy's campaign today!

For a Member of Congress, it's a simple question, really: Do you support President Obama's stimulus package?

Running to fill the open seat in New York's 20th congressional district, Republican Jim Tedisco couldn't give us a straight answer for over a month. Yesterday, Tedisco finally admitted that he'd have voted against the stimulus and therefore against 76,000 jobs in upstate New York and the biggest middle-class tax cut in history.

Tedisco seems to think that conservative ideology trumps the needs of the people of NY-20. Tedisco wants to be just another Republican in the House, where not even a single Republican member voted to help get Americans back to work and fix our economy.

In these tough times, we need leaders in Washington who will help us find a way out of this mess.

That's why we need to help Democrat Scott Murphy win the special election on March 31st. Please make a contribution to Scott's campaign today!

Scott Murphy lives in the 20th district with his wife and three young children. As a venture capitalist and entrepreneur, he has helped create more than 1000 jobs in 20 New York Companies. He has managed large staffs and helped create green jobs in upstate New York. He's exactly the type of person we need in Congress today.

The national Republican party is already running attack ads, and recently Tedisco followed -- lying about Scott's record of creating jobs. They want the race to be nasty and personal because the polls show Scott with the momentum. Just last week, an independent poll showed Scott just 4 points behind after some polls showed him down over 20 points just weeks ago.

Clearly Scott can win. That's why ensuring that Scott has the resources to spread his message is so critical. If the Republicans win, we will cede the momentum, and we know they will spin this as a defeat of President Obama's agenda.

Donate to Scott's campaign today!

In 2006, I travelled up to NY-20 to help elect Kirsten Gillibrand to her first term in the U.S. House. It's a tough district that voted for George W. Bush but in 2008 swung to vote narrowly for Barack Obama.

With Kirsten appointed to replace Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate, Republicans want this seat back. They think they can get back in power by opposing everything.

We have to elect Scott Murphy. Jim Tedisco and the national Republicans want to show that being the party of No -- the party of obstructionism -- is a path back to power.

Are you going to let them win?

Join me and support Scott Murphy before his election on March 31st. We need someone who will support President Obama's agenda to get our country back on track.
