$15 Million+ Democratic Campaign Contributions Of Max Baucus, Evan Bayh, Tom Harkin, Tim Johnson and Ken Salazar Five Retiring Or Already Retired Democratic Senators Selfishly Withhold $15+ Million From Four Desperate Democrats In Key Races To Save U.S. Senate From GOP Tea Party Takeover

   

       Sunday, 26 October 2014, WASHINGTON, D.C.  - CREDO Action in the below flyer requests that individuals please sign the petition transmitted herewith requesting that retiring and already retired Democratic U.S. Senators Max Baucus, Even Bayh, Tom Harkin, Tim Johnson and Ken Salazar immediately stop withholdng in these final weeks of the election campaign over $15 million together in idle campaign contributions  such that they just are hoarding money donated by political supporters intended to put Democrats to win in the U.S. Senate now and also lay the groundwork for upcoming Democratic election victories but not stockpile leaving unused the desperately needed funds just should they in the event again decide to run for public office at some time in the future.

        As detailed below from the Huffington Post these five Democratic Senators' selfishness could cost the Nation's Democratic Party and the American People the United States Senate leaving Americans at the mercy of Tea Party Republicans run totally amok. Such antics totally unworthy of inexperienced national government leader hopefuls recently were documented on Anchorage, Alaska Police TV in which Tea Party intellectual Sarah "Street-Fightin'" Palin And Her Brawling Family Clan Of Morons were asked to leave the  the private party melee they had incited departing with an obscene gesture while former Republican national Presidential Candidate Tea Party Palin by varied witness accounts"let loose with a string of  obscenities".

       So readers please consider signing on  to the petition calling on Democratic retired and near-retired U.S. Senators sitting on a pile of over $15 million dollars in Democratic cash donated to win critical Democratic Senate elections now to stop withholding these funds and allow the donations to be used for their intended purpose. Specifically please take note that of these five Senators Max Baucus, Even Bayh, Tom Harkin, Tim Johnson and Ken Salazar presently are hoarding over $15 million total Democratic campaign donations of which four have in hand from nearly $1 million to $2 million to campaign presently for nothing while their Democratic colleagues struggle and fight daily for and with every dollar available to beat off a host of nightmare GOP opponents bought and paid for by the usual GOP limited group of super-rich donors looking for much more back from the American government and taxpayers than they ever routinely pay. 

       And finally CREDO highlights that Senator Even Bayh of Indiana who reportedly nearly was Barack Obama's running mate in 2008 has in the process amassed just under $10 million (TEN MILLION DOLLARS) specifically $9.8 million dollars in Democratic contributions which he nevertheless has withheld from Democratic U.S. Senate candidates now totally on the ropes trying to hold the GOP Tea Party trying at bay. Will Senator Bayh's suspected continuing ambition of a future Democratic Presidential run really delude him into believing that his hopes for tomorrow literally can just sit and wait should he allow the Congressional collapse of the Democratic Party today which can take years to re-establish?

       Interested readers are asked please to consider signing the accompanying petition requesting these Democratic candidates rich in Democratic contributions they do not currently need please facilitate the funds' disbursement to meet the very real current urgent political hurdles currently facing the Democratic Party in the holding onto the Senate.

These Democratic Senators could cost us the Senate To Senators Max Baucus, Evan Bayh, Tom Harkin, Tim Johnson and Ken Salazar: "Together you are withholding $15 million in campaign contributions donated by political supporters to put Democrats in the Senate. Stop hoarding campaign cash and help us Save the Senate." Add your name: Dear Martin, Democratic campaign committees based in Washington DC are behind an escalating flow of dire fundraising emails to small dollar donors like you and me. But there’s a potentially game-changing pot of money available to them that’s being selfishly withheld. The Huffington Post reports that five Democratic senators who are already retired or retiring at the end of this year are sitting on over $15 million in campaign cash that could be used to help save the Senate from takeover by Tea Party Republicans.1What’s worse, three of them are from states with tossup races that could decide control of the Senate on November 4! Together, these five Senators could chip in $15 million to Save the Senate. Tell Senators Max Baucus, Evan Bayh, Tom Harkin, Tim Johnson and Ken Salazar to stop hoarding campaign cash and help Save the Senate. Click here to sign the petition. We’re not talking about their personal money. This was money donated to them by their political supporters to put a Democrat in the Senate. Democrat Bruce Braley is running neck-and-neck with Tea Party nightmare Joni Ernst in Iowa today where Senator Tom Harkin’s retirement has put his seat up for grabs. Sen. Harkin is sitting on $2.37 million in his campaign account — but he’s not willing to spend it to keep his seat from falling into the hands of an extreme right-wing culture warrior endorsed by Sarah Palin. Ken Salazar, former Senator from Colorado, has $1.2 million in the bank while his fellow Colorado senator Sen. Mark Udall trails another extreme right-wing Republican Cory Gardner. Retiring South Dakota Senator Tim Johnson has nearly a million in his campaign account while Democrat Rick Weiland is struggling to achieve a come-from-behind victory to hold South Dakota’s Democratic seat. Montana’s former Senator Max Baucus (now ambassador to China) has over $1 million in his campaign account. And former Indiana Senator Evan Bayh is sitting on nearly $10 million! Tell Senators sitting on campaign cash to help us Save the Senate. Click here to sign the petition. Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana was nearly chosen as vice presidential running mate to Barack Obama in 2008. Why would he hold out his $9.8 million when the fate of the Senate control hangs in the balance? The only explanation could be that he must still be harboring political ambitions for the presidency. If so, sitting out this election when he could help save the Senate is a mark of incredible vanity coupled with astonishing selfishness that should be taken into consideration if he runs for higher office in the future. As a conservative Democrat, Evan Bayh could take responsibility for funding Democrats in toss up races in Alaska, Louisiana, and Arkansas so progressives could focus their money and energy on races to promote Democrats who share our values. Make no mistake. If Democrats lose the Senate we could see the impeachment of President Obama, attempts to ram through approval of Keystone XL, accelerated attacks on the Affordable Care Act, a complete block on all judicial appointments and a deal that would raise the Medicare eligibility age and cut Social Security benefits. While Democratic campaign committees in Washington DC are sending out alarmist emails to activists like you and me saying that “ALL HOPE IS LOST,” there’s a better audience for their pleas — their Democratic Senatorial colleagues who are sitting on a mountain of cash that could be deployed in the closest races — including in their own states — to help save the Senate from Republican takeover.
