$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. Click the link below to sign the petition: http://act.credoaction.com/sign/senate_donations?t=6&akid=12051.5397176.cmKWu8 Thank you for taking action to help save the Senate.

Koch Brothers Right Wingers For Hire Under Investigation By North Carolina Board Of Elections For Flooding African-American And Other Communities With "Misleading, Incorrect, And Confusing Voter Registration Materials As A Means Of Discouraging Or Intimidating Voters In The 2014 Election" Critical U.S. Senate Race

     

       Wednesday, 1 October 2014, DURHAM, N.C. - The Ninth Amendment passes on the below account provided by CREDO SuperPAC of reports that the Koch Brothers have taken a further step than their usual known modus operandi of using their vast wealth to buy elections as an investment strategy wherever they believe necessary by supposedly legal means to buy citizens of other states election campaigns for the sole purpose of relentlessly trying to satisfy their insatiable greed for more wealth without regard for democratic principles or the right of persons residing in other states to choose their own government representatives unmolested by two rich investors who believe that the Constitution was enacted in order to allow the likes of these arrogant richboys to distort democratic mechanisms for the sole selfish purpose of furthering their own investment strategies by buying governments as if they had the right to take the destiny of an entire democratic nation into their own greedy hands although elected by no one to do so. In doing so it would appear that they now are trying to each achieve a new notch on their platinum-plated crayons for most of the seven deadly sins in one fell swoop.

      This year with a tight U.S. Senate race with stonewalling Republicans trying to achieve their childhood dreams of taking the Senate into G.O.P. hands so they may be virtually assured that Congress will accomplish nothing at all to protect and improve the lives of over 99% of the American people so that a now estimated 0.1 % can get richer since no new taxes (or anything else such as for example social services that might be necessary to secure the blessings of liberty for the remainder of the American people) will be passed allowing Republicans such as the Koch Brothers type to engage in their favorite pastime of getting paid for doing nothing at all or what they prefer to call "passive income". Now with the Koch brothers insatiable thirst such that they are parched for ever more wealth they do not need apparently has driven their efforts to control elections all over the country to the other side of the law in North Carolina.

       CREDO SuperPac one of the few groups on the ground hot on the trail in North Carolina of the Koch Brothers-funded rightwingers for hire group witnessing their targeting African-Americans and other communities for voter suppression while also engaging in other allegedly illegal activities for which these rightwingers for hire are under investigation by the North Carolina Board of Elections for attempting to use "misleading, incorrect, and confusing voter registration mailers as a means of discouraging or intimidating voters in the 2014 election".

       The CREDO SuperPAC asks help from interested readers in one of two ways set out below to derail the Koch Brothers latest assault on democracy and attempts to cover up the abhorrent record of Republican Senate candidate Thom Tillis so he can be elected in spite of himself and his abysmal record by a concerted assault on democracy in North Carolina of confusing, tricking, discouraging, intimidating and suppressing the votes of that majority who if merely informed of the truth about the candidate and not intimidated by these crass attempts at wholesale voter suppression should ensure that Thom Tillis never would be elected to anything ever again rather than serving as the Koch Brothers most recent ticket to better investment returns through the destruction of democracy and the resultant harm caused to a vast majority of the American people and their system of government.

Martin -- News broke last week that a Koch brothers-funded group is under investigation in North Carolina for attempting to steal the election. There are three things I need you to know. I just came back from North Carolina and I can tell you this is real. CREDO SuperPAC organizers and volunteers have even run into Koch-funded campaign workers spreading misinformation on voting in African-American neighborhoods. We’re the only “Save the Senate” campaign with volunteers and organizers on the ground going door-to-door counteracting voter suppression with a targeted progressive base turnout campaign. This is an urgent moment to fight back. Please chip in now: If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Express Donate: $3 Express Donate: $15 Express Donate: $50 Express Donate: $100 Or donate another amount. Here’s what is happening on the ground: The complaint filed with the North Carolina Board of Elections accuses rightwing activists of attempting “to utilize misleading, incorrect, and confusing voter registration mailers as a means of discouraging or intimidating voters in the 2014 general election.” Right now, CREDO SuperPAC organizers and volunteers are combating the Kochs' efforts to suppress the vote by literally going door-to-door to make sure Koch-targeted voters know how to cast ballots that count on Election Day. The Senate race in North Carolina is one of the closest races in the country and could determine who controls Senate. So there are actually two ways you can help: Will you connect progressives you know in North Carolina with our local CREDO SuperPAC volunteer headquarters? Click here for a list of North Carolina events to share. Can you chip in $3 to help fund our grassroots organizers to counter these Koch activists on the ground in one of the most important Senate races this cycle? I went door-to-door with CREDO SuperPAC volunteers in Durham last week. Our message about Republican extremist Thom Tillis is resonating. When we tell voters that Republican Senate candidate Thom Tillis defunded his state’s public schools, closed women’s health clinics and lifted the ban on fracking, they are fired up to go vote against him. But the problem is that a lot of these voters didn’t know what was at stake in this election until our conversation on their door step. Up to 40% of the voters who turned out to elect President Obama won’t vote in 2014 unless we mobilize them to turn out and vote against Republicans. If the Koch brothers campaign workers get to these voters before we do, they may suppress their votes and steal this election. We can’t let them steal it. We’re going head-to-head with Koch-funded activists. Can you chip in? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Express Donate: $3 Express Donate: $15 Express Donate: $50 Express Donate: $100 Or donate another amount. Our North Carolina SuperPAC organizers have witnessed these shady activities on the ground in African-American neighborhoods and subsequently reported these voter suppression activities to their local Board of Elections. But it will take more than a complaint to local officials to counteract the Koch brothers’ underhanded efforts. That’s why we’re going door-to-door and helping local North Carolina volunteers make tens of thousands of phone calls each week to their fellow voters to make sure they know their rights. We can’t let the Koch brothers’ voter suppression efforts be the difference that costs us North Carolina or any other Senate seat. And CREDO SuperPAC is one of the few progressive groups on the ground in North Carolina doing hand-to-hand combat with these Koch-funded, rightwing voter suppressors. I know our organizers in North Carolina, working with our dedicated volunteers, can counteract this rightwing assault on voting rights. I’ve seen them in action. But they need your help. Chip in to help our grassroots campaign fight back in the final weeks: If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Express Donate: $3 Express Donate: $15 Express Donate: $50 Express Donate: $100 Or donate another amount.
