Democrats Driving Change Forward and Republicans Trying to Stifle It

By Donna Brazile

The 2008 elections are about Democrats driving change forward, and Republicans trying to stifle it at every turn. With a critical March 31st deadline approaching, we have to make sure GOP money and mean-spiritedness don't block our path to progress.

Right now, that means taking on renegade GOP attack groups ready to drag our candidates down any way they can. Two high-profile organizations are at the center of the GOP's sinister strategy -- Coalition for a Conservative Majority, founded by Tom DeLay, and Freedom's Watch, headed by George Bush's former press secretary, Ari Fleischer.

In the presidential race and in critical House races, we've got to make sure we have the money we need to defend our candidates.

There's a lot of Democratic energy out there -- record turnouts, young voters fully engaged in the election, grassroots financial support unlike anything we've ever seen before.

The time is right, the energy is there, we just need to harness it. We cannot allow Republican smear groups to snatch another victory from the jaws of defeat by spreading fear and lies. We must be prepared to fight back.

The 2008 elections are about change -- whether we, as a country, will take a step forward into a more positive future or stay mired in the conflicts of today.

Take this opportunity to stand for change.

Thank you for all you are doing to make sure Democratic energy wins out over Republican despair. With the critical March 31st deadline approaching, I urge you to act.
