The Dems have until midnight tonight to wrap up their third quarter fundraising, and here is what is being said on their mailing lists:

John Edwards:

We only have 36 hours left before the end of the quarter to make our $595,000 goal - a dollar for every American who lost his or her job this year under the Bush administration’s disastrous economic policies.

Dennis Kucinich:

I have been challenging the Bush Administration more vocally than ever in the last few days, and I want to tell you about it. And please forward this message. But first, I need your help. There’s only one day left before this quarter’s fundraising deadline. Tuesday is the last day. My presidential campaign is counting on you.

John Kerry:

Bush is raising tens of millions of dollars from his special interest Pioneers. We need to stand up to the Republicans and show them that we have strength in numbers. The funds we collect in the next 24 hours will determine the media perception of the strength of our campaign, and these funds will determine our media budget for the critical early contests.

Joe Lieberman

The response to my call for help has been overwhelming. Thousands of you have contributed to our fight to return integrity to the White House. Now we need each of you take one more step to help me reach my $300,000 fundraising goal before midnight tonight.

Howie Dean

Our goal is to raise a total of $15 million dollars by midnight tonight. If we are going to beat George W. Bush and his fundraising machine, we must show right now—at this early stage in the primary season—that your individual contribution, combined with the contributions of tens of thousands of others, have the power to take on the special interests. This is the day that you make history.

Enough of that nonsense.

They are doing it. They are raising money. No one can sit back and suppose President Bush and Vice President Cheney have the money to fight what will be a machine larger than merely the DNC and their nominees campaign. Supposing does not pay the bills, but we can help. Click HERE if you can donate whatever amount to Bush/Cheney ’04. The third quarter is ending for them also, and the alternative is just too disingenuous. And flawed.
