They're in Washington for workshops this week. Saturday they will head home to West Virginia and get to work. Each of them has put together a short bio for you -- take a look, because you made this possible: http://www.democrats.org/50statestrategy You blew past last week's $250,000 fundraising goal in just 48 hours -- surprising Governor Dean and everyone else. That made it possible to add a fifth state (Kansas) to the four new ones announced last week. Governor Dean challenged Democrats across the country to push that goal to $500,000 by Friday this week -- that's tomorrow. If we reach it together, we can get the ball rolling this week in another batch of four more states. You will have more than tripled the program -- adding nine new states in two weeks. And it will have happened with small donations that have outpaced anything the Democratic Party has seen in an off-year between elections. Let's do it: http://www.democrats.org/challenge A lot of folks responded to Governor Dean's message last week asking for a way to track the progress of your fundraising. As you can see, there's a graphic on the right with the total -- it will be updated every hour so that you can see the difference you're making by contributing and spreading the word. And we'll be tracking the progress on the web site. Your small donations are moving this program so fast that it's hard to keep up. The staff is working around the clock to get the pieces in place to get started in the new states you fund today and tomorrow. Growing our party from the ground up in every single state will be hard work -- but it's absolutely necessary if we're going to build the long-term capacity to win in all 50 states. It's up to you -- can we get started in another four this week? Thank you for everything. Sincerely, Tom McMahon Executive Director Not a Subscriber?

The training promises to be an intense seven hours that will give you the tools needed to win in battleground areas where Republicans normally claim elections. Ybarra is the Pacific Region Chair of the Hispanic Caucus for the National Democratic Committee. I consider him to be one of the best consultants the Democratic Party has. He has gotten Democrats elected in red states. I incorporate many of Steve?s strategies into my own campaign organizing with proven results. Among the topics he will be covering are: Organizing a strong field campaign. Walking and winning in those hard ?big dog? precincts. Executing a winning vote-by-mail strategy, the key to Democratic victories. Creating a successful GOTV effort that puts your candidate in the lead when the returns come in. Framing your message. Steve has been doing this for 20 years. Developing a three-year plan for your Democratic Club. We will be working with a brand new voter file (data base) for Woodland, Davis and Yolo County. If you want to make an immediate difference in your community that will make a positive impact on the upcoming elections from the possibility of a special election this November to the June (local) and November (state) elections in 2006, this is the best training you can take. Time: 9:00 AM ? 4:00 PM Location: 863 Tufts Court, Woodland Judy & Jim Tischer residence. We?ve used their place for numerous MoveOn.org events. Cost: $50 (you keep the training manual.)

Thanks! Nicole Yelich Community Outreach Manager NARAL Pro-Choice California t: 415.890.1020 f: 415.890.1025 www.ProChoiceCA.org The Radical Right is radically WRONG! The Radical Right is trying to take over the federal courts, to give themselves absolute power over our country. Their vision for America will place ordinary citizens at the mercy of the powerful by, for example: protecting the interests of corporations like Enron over the rights of consumers; opposing civil rights protections; limiting the reach of environmental safeguards; and abolishing reproductive choice. Terrence Boyle agrees with the Radical Right. Judge Terrence Boyle, nominated by President Bush for a lifetime appointment to a federal appellate court, has demonstrated his own Radical Right ideology in his years as a trial judge in North Carolina. Higher courts, including the United States Supreme Court, have frequently and vigorously berated Judge Boyle for many rulings that ignore the law while promoting Boyle?s own radical ideology. His rulings have been particularly egregious in civil rights cases, where he has often been an obstacle to equal justice for minorities and the disabled. (For more information on Boyle?s record, visit www.independentjudiciary.org). Stop the Radical Right: Tell Senator Feinstein TODAY to OPPOSE the nomination of Terrence Boyle! Boyle?s nomination will be voted on in the United States Senate Judiciary Committee as early as this Thursday, June 9. Senator Dianne Feinstein (CA) is a key vote on that committee, and is undecided about how to vote. Senator Feinstein needs to hear from you and your friends! 1. Call Senator Feinstein immediately at one of the following numbers, and tell her that you want her to oppose the Boyle nomination: ? 559-485-7430 (Fresno) ? 310-914-7300 (Los Angeles) ? 619-231-9712 (San Diego) ? 415-393-0707 (San Francisco) ? 202-224-3841 (Washington, DC) 2.

Barbara Boxer, DSCC" Reply-To: notice-reply-biking2r55wdi7 at action.dscc.org Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 16:46:45 GMT To: "john chendo" Subject: Stop the Right Wing Dear john, As soon as next week, we could be fighting for the future of the Supreme Court. According to the Washington Post, Justice William Rehnquist could retire any time now, setting off the first nomination battle in a decade. George Bush has promised us more ultraconservative activist judges in the mold of Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. There is no greater threat to our basic civil rights and civil liberties than a Supreme Court tilted to the extreme. Your right to breathe clean air and drink clean water, your right to worker protections, even a woman's fundamental right to choose - all of this is at stake. If we're going to put a stop to the right wing plan to take over the Supreme Court, we simply have to take back the Senate in 2006. Only the Senate has the constitutional duty to approve Supreme Court nominations, and only if Democrats control the Senate can we deny the far right the ability to hand pick Supreme Court judges. We can't take back the Senate without your help. When you make a contribution to the DSCC, we make sure your dollar goes directly where it is needed most - to the nation's tightest Senate races. No other national party organization contributes directly to Senate candidates. Only the DSCC. Please make a contribution today. Click here to make a secure contribution of $50, $75, or more Earlier this week, Senator Durbin told you that the DSCC is working to raise $500,000 online this quarter. Your response has been tremendous, but there is still a long way to go. The good news is that starting today, my Democratic colleagues and I will raise three dollars for every dollar you contribute until we meet our goal. By putting your own dollar on the line, you prove that you are committed to taking back the Senate in 2006. When we pledge to match your contribution three-to-one, you know that my colleagues and I are just as committed to preventing a right wing takeover of the Supreme Court. Click here to make a secure contribution of $50, $75, or more The debate over judicial nominations so far has merely been a warm-up to a Supreme Court nomination. We must be prepared for this fight. The stakes are too high for Democrats to be caught with our guard down. With your help, we will be ready to take back the Senate in 2006, and we will put an end to the right wing campaign to takeover the Supreme Court. Sincerely, Barbara Boxer P.S. We also need your help to recruit more supporters for our campaign to take back the Senate in 2006 and protect the Supreme Court. Forward this message to your friends and family today.

From jac07 at dcn.org Mon Jun 27 18:02:15 2005 From: jac07 at dcn.org (John Chendo) Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 18:02:15 -0700 Subject: [Davis Democrats] A "Democracy Bond"-from Dr.Howard Dean In-Reply-To: <3s149t$hqunh2@mailer.democrats.org> Message-ID: ---------- From: "Governor Howard Dean" Reply-To: dnc-0032O00Ghz at mailer.democrats.org Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 18:47:41 -0500 To: "John Chendo" Subject: A Party Accountable to the People Dear John: This morning, on the Democratic Party's brand new web site, I made my commitment to reform the political process and change the way political parties are financed. I got my 'Democracy Bond'. A 'Democracy Bond' is the way for you to take control of our party's future. It's a monthly commitment to donate a small amount -- $20, $30 or whatever you can afford -- to build a sustainable Democratic Party in every state and win elections at every level of office. More important, 'Democracy Bond' are the start of a community of Americans with a stake in our common future. We, the people, have the chance to reclaim our government and rid politics of special interest money once and for all. With a 'Democracy Bond' you don't get your money back -- but you do get your country back: http://www.democrats.org/democracybond It's going to take more than you and me to make this happen. That's why, on your new site, you will be able to ask your friends and neighbors to join us. You'll also be able to track your progress as you build your own network of people committed to shaping the future of our party and our country. If our party is going to both compete in the short term and build for the long term, we're going to have to do things differently. The Republicans raise more than $10 million a month in huge checks from special interests and lobbyists. They have created a money-for-influence machine unlike anything our country has ever seen. A million of us contributing $20 a month can double their total. To do that, every single one of us will have to take ownership of this party. And that's exactly the point -- by making your 'Democracy Bond' commitment, and encouraging people you know to do the same, you can shift the balance of power in our political process. You can start by getting your 'Democracy Bond' now: http://www.democrats.org/democracybond I want to be straight with you -- there will be times when we all have to make additional investments in our work together. But the 'Democracy Bond' is a core commitment to our party and our values that every Democrat should embrace. We will only create lasting change if that sense of obligation and responsibility becomes a permanent part of our lives. If you can't make a monthly commitment now, please make a one-time contribution to support building our party for the future: http://www.democrats.org/contribute The other side has its game plan to win. They will divide America by race, religion, class, sexual orientation and any other way they can if it means a political advantage -- they will even exploit the sacred memory of September 11th. They will shamelessly appeal to the worst in us -- exploiting our fears and scapegoating the most vulnerable. And while they stoke resentment among the people, special interests and ideologues will bankroll their party and set the agenda. The way to beat them is simple. We will unite and empower people everywhere. By doing so we will ensure that the Democratic Party is beholden to no one but the people -- and that when we govern, the concerns of ordinary Americans are our priority. Thank you for all that you do.

Message-ID: <20050701040224.3563.qmail@web81108.mail.yahoo.com> Arnold and the Reps have gone home for the weekend and we still don't have a budget. Senate Democrats are requesting your attendance at a flashlight vigil on the West Steps of the Capitol tonight at 10pm. Please attend if you are able. Best, Rhonda
