Ralph —

3,083,897.

Outraged by the government shutdown, that’s how many phone calls DFA members have pledged to make to voters in 2014 to defeat Republicans and take back the House of Representatives from Tea Party extremists. And the number is surging with each day the shutdown continues.

217,324.

That’s how many DFA and Daily Kos supporters have signed on to a petition asking 21 moderate House Republicans to buck John Boehner and sign a “discharge petition” that would force a vote to end the shutdown — and could prevent the impending debt ceiling disaster.

30.

That’s how many Republicans could lose their seats because of the shutdown, according to Sam Wang, a Princeton professor called “one of the best poll aggregators out there” by Paul Krugman. Wang’s analysis of recent polling shows that the GOP would lose the House “if the election were held today.”

We can take back the House in 2014 — so this never happens again. Please contribute $5 today to our DFA Dialer program so our members can follow through on making 3 million calls into the districts that matter the most.

Republicans made this mess, gambling on our future to force an ideological point that the majority of Americans continue to reject. Let’s make sure they learn a lesson.

Thanks for all you do,

Eden
