Hello:

Even Karl Rove had to admit yesterday that the McCain campaign’s lies and
negative attacks have gone “too far.”

John McCain is running the most negative and dishonest campaign in modern
presidential history. He has demonstrated that he’d rather lose his integrity
than lose this election.

It’s right out of the Bush-Rove playbook. Unfortunately, as Karl Rove knows
better than anyone, these shameful tactics have worked in the past.

This year, we can’t let that happen.

Our goal is to bring 50,000 new donors into our movement by Friday at midnight.

And if you make your first online donation today, your gift will go twice
as far. A previous donor has promised to match every dollar you donate.

Double your impact right now. Your matched donation of $5 will become $10
if you donate today:

The culture of corruption and dishonesty that has hurt America so badly the
last eight years is playing an even larger role in McCain’s campaign.

Just this past week, John McCain hired a Washington super-lobbyist to fill
positions in a potential McCain-Palin White House. At least 177 lobbyists
have been on McCain’s campaign staff, and apparently he hopes to run the
White House the same way.

Also this week, the McCain campaign continued to repeat a number of outrageous
lies, even after watchdogs in the media called them “shamelessly misleading,”
“thoroughly dishonest,” and “a toxic mix of lies and double-speak.”

They also lied about the crowd size at one of their rallies — reporting
23,000 attendees when there were only 8,000.

McCain’s campaign — run on lobbyists and lies — is no match for this unprecedented
grassroots movement. More than 2,500,000 people have stepped up to own a
piece of this campaign.

But if we want change, we must continue to grow this movement and put an
end to these dishonorable political tactics. And we have just 50 days left
to do it.

Right now, a previous donor — an ordinary person just like you — has promised
to match your donation if you step up today.

Double your impact to combat McCain’s dishonest campaign tactics — make
a matched donation of $5 or more today:
