ActBlue: Knock Out The Fear And Smear

Dear Friends,

Last week Jerry came under attack from a Republican-controlled group that flooded local airwaves with false adn misleading ads.

But don't take my word for it.  The Stockton Record called the organization "a shadowy, Republican connected political action group."

These false and deceptive attacks are not the last we'll face this campaign.  With your help, we'll make sure they don't go unanswered.  This is the worst kind of political tactic, playing off people's fears to scare Americans into support for Bush Administration policies that chip away at our cherished liberties.

What you can do today: Contribute
An ActBlue page has been set up by concerned activists to help us fight these attacks - 17 freshman in all.  Contribute via my website or ActBlue.

Click below to see the false and misleading ad.

This group has spent millions of dollars playing this ad across the country and has saturated local television stations in Northern California targeting Jerry.  And what's worse?  This shadowy organization doesn't even have ot reveal who is funding the ads.  National Republican groups have named our race their #2 target - meaning this latest round of inflammatory ads are only the beginning.

We kno wthe facts are on our side.  Even FactCheck.org, an independent analyst, says the attacks are misleading - calling the ads' claims "simply not true".

Help Jerry fight back now against this distored campaign and set the record straight.  We are working hard to raise $25,000 in the next three weeks to fight attacks such as these.  Your help is essential.  Please give $5, $25, $100 - whatever you can - today.

Sincerely,

Robbyn Umland
Finance Director
McNerney For Congress
