Special S.C. Election so close.??

Only 13 days away??I had no freaking Idea..Where the hell have I been?

Anyway I just gave.. Hope I’m allowed to do this?



Friends --

Think of how humiliating it would be for Republicans to lose one of the reddest seats in the country.

Well, Elizabeth Colbert Busch has a real chance to knock off Mark Sanford in South Carolina's special election only 13 days from today. That would be quite the upset for a district that Mitt Romney won by 18 points.

Even Republican leadership is getting twitchy about this race. Senator Lindsey Graham just said that losing this ruby-red seat would “undercut” the GOP House majority. We agree! Will you help us raise the $57,000 we need by tonight's deadline to defeat Republicans like Mark Sanford?

Suggested Support: $3.00

DEADLINE: Give $3 or whatever you can today to help fight back against Mark Sanford and Republican attacks >>

If Republicans lose this seat, it will have national implications for Boehner and his teetering majority. But there's only 13 days left.

Help us get the truth out and fight back against Republican attacks like these: Chip in before tonight's deadline.

And Sanford keeps pulling stupid stunts and tone deaf press statements.

This looks great, actually.

It is my district.
