Donate $50 to put MoveOn in a Republican district
Dear MoveOn member,
Right-wing Congresswoman Nancy Johnson (R-CT) is kicking her campaign into high gear this week. Her strategy: distance herself from the bad decisions she's been a part of (like Iraq), and hope to eke out a win under the radar this November.
It ain't going to happen. Starting next Monday, we're deploying our organizers to manage new on-the-ground visibility campaigns with MoveOn members in EVERY competitive Republican district.
We'll make sure Republicans can't hide from the truth.
Because this work is powered by MoveOn volunteers the program is pretty inexpensive—just $3,000 per district for a week-in, week-out campaign for the next two months. For every 60 people who chip in $50, that'll be one more district we can go to. Can you contribute?

What'll this effort look like?
When a member of Congress like Johnson does an event at a local nursing home, local MoveOn members will be there, reminding voters and the local press of her ties to pharmaceutical companies.
When she holds town hall meetings, we'll arm folks inside with tough questions to ask her. Wherever Johnson and representatives like her go, we'll make sure they're held accountable for what they've done.
This is the next phase of Operation Democracy—a key part of our big plan to win we announced in January.
For the last few months, we've worked together to air "Red-Handed" TV ads that get out the truth about Republicans' ties to big corporations. The ads have been very effective: highly respected polling firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research just issued a report on how the ads did. The verdict: the program made a big impact, changing all four races we targeted.
But four races are only a fraction of the total number of seats up for grabs. We need to take our "Caught Red-Handed" message to every competitive district—making sure voters there are armed with the facts about the amount of special interest money their member of Congress took and the bad votes he or she cast.
We know the message works. And through Operation Democracy, our local field program, we know MoveOn members can organize to make a difference. The organizers are raring to go. Now, we just need to raise the money to pay organizers and put the program in motion.
Can you chip in?

There's another piece of good news from our "Red-Handed" TV ads: even in strongly Republican districts, when you provide voters with information about what their Congressman has been up to, they change their allegiance. That's not just good news for us—it's good news for democracy.
Thanks for everything you've done to make this possible.
Thanks for all you do.
