Iowa, New Hampshire, Minnesota, and You!

01/09/2008

Dear Paul,

Last Thursday, it was Iowa. Yesterday, it was New Hampshire. The Presidential race is heating up!

And Minnesota's turn is coming. We're gearing up for our caucuses on February 5, a month earlier than before, to ensure that Minnesotans have a real voice in the Presidential race. We're expecting a record number of participants, but we need your help getting ready for them.

The good news is, you can help for free. When you contribute up to $50 to the DFL Party ($100 for couples), the State refunds the entire amount to you. Really.

With the primaries underway, Democrats are already showing Republicans that we're going to fight for our values and vision. We won't let Republicans run away from their dismal record, or get away with their usual tricks.

Your state and local party are the infrastructure that supports DFL candidates at all levels, from the state house to the White House. Contribute $50 to the DFL Party so that we can beat the Republicans once and for all.

Sincerely,


Brian Melendez
Chair
Minnesota DFL Party


P.S.: The Republicans have been beating us at getting their refunds. In 2006, the State gave back over one million dollars more to Republicans than to Democrats, only because they took better advantage of this grassroots program than we did. Please contribute $50 today and help us close the gap.


Basic PCR Facts


The Minnesota Political Contribution Refund program will refund up to $50 ($100 per couple). Don't believe it? Click here for details.


In 2006, half as many more Republicans than DFLers claimed refunds, and the average refund was 50% higher. Help close the gap and level the playing field!


The most efficient, effective political contribution you can make is to the DFL Party, which works for all endorsed candidates, from the top of the ballot to the bottom.


Contributions to the Presidential, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House races are not eligible. But a contribution to the DFL Party, which supports those candidates, is eligible.


You can claim a refund only once a year.


Early money works longer! The sooner you give, the sooner your contribution helps our candidates.
