My fellow New Democrat,

32 hours. That’s how long we have to show Stephen Harper that New Democrats are ready to take him on.

In 32 hours all parties report on their 3rd quarter fundraising results. This is a huge test of our momentum. As it stands now, we are in danger of being outspent by Harper’s team in the key pre-election period.

You and I can’t let that happen.

That’s why I’m asking you to donate right now. Let’s show Stephen Harper that New Democrats have wide support from Canadians across the country who are ready to take him on. [4]

Harper thinks that just because big banks are profiting, the recession is over. That's why he's talking now about cutting off the stimulus spending early - before many of the stimulus projects are even finished. It’s clear where his loyalties lie – and it’s certainly not with struggling middle-class Canadian families.

That’s why New Democrats have to be strong. We have to show we are ready to take on Harper.

Our goal is to beat our fundraising from this time last year. With only 150 more donations before midnight on Thursday Sept 30th – we will make our goal. I want you to help me get there.

Please donate $100, $250, $400 – or whatever you can afford – right now. [4]

Together we can send Stephen Harper a clear message: tens of thousands of Canadians are ready to take on your corporate-backed Conservatives.
