Help reach 100 new donations before midnight, June 30th

By Re-Elect McGovern Committee  

Hello-

Since my first campaign, I’ve treated the voters of the 3rd District with respect. To me, respect means not taking your support for granted. As such, I’ve always worked aggressively to represent my district. And, with five Republicans and one independent vying to run against me this fall, I’m campaigning the same way—aggressively, and vigorously.

I’ve opened a campaign headquarters, hired a full campaign staff, redesigned my website, ordered signs, and am planning a full media campaign. It’s important that I’m able to make the case for why I deserve reelection and what important work remains to be done. But aggressive campaigning takes resources.

That’s why I’m asking you to support me by making a donation to my campaign before the federal fundraising quarter deadline of Wednesday, June 30.

Make no mistake—my opponents are also working hard. They’ve followed me around to official district office hours, held a press conference outside of my Congressional office, and advocated decimating services that matter to people. One candidate has called for eliminating the Department of Education; another answered a question about the BP oil spill with “drill, baby, drill.”

Meanwhile, I pledge to continue to stand for the things that matter to all of us: jobs and economic growth; more help for our veterans; better education at every level; and meaningful reform of Wall Street.

Please make a donation to my campaign before the federal fundraising quarter deadline of Wednesday, June 30.

Every donor counts—I’m proud of my wide range and number of supporters, and am aiming to hit 100 new donations by the end of the month.

Whether it’s $10, $20, $50, or $500, your donation by midnight on Wednesday, June 30 will send a message to each of my opponents. With your help, I will continue the fight: to create more jobs; to get our economy back on track; for human rights, and for the causes that matter to you and me.

Please donate before Wednesday June 30th at midnight.

Thank you in advance for your help and your continued support.

Sincerely,

Jim McGovern

Donate and add a ‘6′ before March 31st at midnight

By Re-Elect McGovern Committee  

Dear friend,

As we enter April, I want you to know that I intend to run a strong and aggressive campaign for re-election, and I need your help.

Already, my six opponents in this year’s election are focusing their campaigns around a vow to ‘repeal’ meaningful health insurance reform — reform that is set to improve the lives of millions of our fellow citizens.

Let’s be clear about what their ‘repeal’ would really mean.

Repeal means eliminating tax breaks for thousands of Massachusetts small businesses and owners – the innovators and job creators – who will receive a credit to help cover the cost of insuring their workers.

Repeal means taking away a 50% discount on prescription drugs for thousands of Massachusetts seniors who will receive help to
pay for their premiums and a $250 rebate if they hit the Medicare Part D “doughnut hole” this year.

Repeal means keeping thousands of young adults up to age 26 off their parent’s health insurance.

And repeal means bringing back the most abusive practices of the insurance companies: denying coverage because of a pre-existing condition; dropping coverage when you’re sick and need it most; and instituting lifetime coverage caps.

Please make a donation to my campaign before the federal fundraising quarter deadline of Wednesday, March 31 at midnight – and send all six of my opponents a message by adding a ‘6′ to your contribution.

Whether it’s $6, $56 or $106, your donation will send a message to each of my opponents that we will fight to create new jobs and get our economy back on track, not repeal a law that ends abusive insurance company practices and reduces our nation’s debt.

With your help, I will continue the fight to get our economy back on track; for more help for our veterans; for better education at every level; and for meaningful reform of Wall Street.

I believe we need to get serious about investing in clean, green industries that can create millions of new jobs. I also believe we must protect Social Security and Medicare for our seniors and for future generations.

Please donate and add a ‘6′ before March 31st at midnight.

Thank you for your support and friendship.

Sincerely,

Jim McGovern
