I got this e-mail from her.
Dear Joanne98,
Next Tuesday there will be special election in Ohio to elect my next colleague in Congress. The Democrat, Paul Hackett, has done the impossible and made the race competitive.
You are receiving this email because you live within 400 miles of his district. By volunteering on Paul's campaign, you can play a crucial part in electing the first Iraq War veteran to Congress right in the heart of "Bush Country!" Can you round up some friends for a road trip to help out?
Last week I sent a fundraising email to our list and we were able to raise an impressive $4,500 for Paul's campaign for Congress in small contributions. All told, the online community has raised more than $350,000 for his campaign over the last two weeks.
What a difference those dollars have made. The National Republican Congressional Committee is obviously scared, because they've committed $500,000 to defeat Paul in the final days of a race that never should have been competitive.
Paul needs your help on the ground now if he is going to win. Insider polls show the race within 5 points... keep in mind no Republican has received less than 72% in this district since 1998. What a message we could send the White House if the first Iraq War veteran elected to Congress was a Democrat who opposed the war.
Paul is just the type of person I need by my side in Congress and I need your help to make sure he is victorious.
Please do your part by volunteering for his campaign over the next few days. Below you will find all the information you'll need to help Paul's campaign. I hope you are able to do your part.
Together we can start the wave that sweeps this country in 2006 and usher in a Democratic Congressional majority.
In Solidarity,
Congresswoman Louise M. Slaughter
