President Barack Obama Dear , I cannot thank you enough for your friendship and support. You have stood by me and our Party to build real, lasting economic security for the middle class, even as the Republicans and Tea Party in Congress have tried to take us backward. While we need to build on the progress we’ve made and create more opportunities for hardworking Americans to get ahead, we have the chance to make 2014 a breakthrough year. Enclosed you will find a commemorative print of the White House as a token of gratitude for your past support. Today, it’s time to set our sights on what lies ahead for this country. I have laid out my vision for the future — one of restoring middle class security and expanding opportunity for all. I know you share that vision, and I need you to help me make it a reality for every American family. I will continue to fight every day to move this nation forward, with or without the help of the Republicans on Capitol Hill. But we can do even more if we have a Democratic House and Senate. You can do your part to make that happen by continuing your support for the Democratic National Committee. We must take back the House and protect our majority in the Senate, as well as bring our Democratic vision to all levels of government on Election Day 2014. Only then will we be able to raise the minimum wage, fix our broken immigration system, ensure women get equal pay for equal work, and expand high-quality early childhood education for every child. Every day, I’ll keep fighting for that agenda, and I hope I can count on you to do the same. I look forward to working alongside you. Sincerely,
President Barack Obama

Democratic National Committee Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz DNC Chair
Dear Fellow Democrat, In recognition of the support you have provided to the Democratic National Committee, I am pleased to send your official 2014 White House Commemorative Print on behalf of the President and First Lady Michelle Obama. The enclosed commissioned image of the White House is entitled White House in Spring. I hope you are reminded of how much you have helped our Party and the President and that you find a prominent place for it in your home. Over the past five years that President Obama has been in the White House you’ve pulled together and helped bring our economy back from the brink of collapse, created new jobs, started new businesses and begun to make healthcare more secure and affordable. As Democrats, we want continued progress and we know that our country is at its best when we expand opportunity for all. We will continue to fight for the middle class and to raise the minimum wage because if you work fulltime you shouldn’t have to raise your family in poverty. We are committed to fixing our broken immigration system and ensuring that every child has access to early education. But this real, meaningful progress is not guaranteed. Indeed, it is contingent upon the outcome of this year’s critical, mid-term congressional elections. If the Democratic Party can win a major victory by taking the House of Representatives out of the hands of the Tea Party Republicans, while defending our Senate majority, we will make it possible for President Obama to fully implement his agenda in the remaining years of his administration. If we lose, all of the progress we have achieved, along with the prospects of a better tomorrow for this nation, will be in jeopardy. President Obama needs your help to ensure this does not happen. That’s why I’m asking you to do two things … First, please let us know that this gift reached you by completing the enclosed delivery verification form. And when you return your verification form, I also urge you to continue your support for President Obama and the Party with a generous contribution today. Your support could make the difference in this key election. (over, please)

Page Two President Obama needs your financial support to provide our Party and our candidates with the resources they need to win this election. The Republicans and their Tea Party buddies are raising record sums of money to support their candidates, and we must match them dollarfor-dollar to win this race. Extreme right-wing Republicans such as the Koch Brothers and Karl Rove are doing everything possible to not only hang onto the House, but to build upon their majority and to even challenge our hold on the Senate. If they succeed, imagine what our nation will face … continued efforts to reverse healthcare reform … escalated obstruction of further progress … they are even talking about impeaching the President! Our nation cannot afford this. That’s why we must defeat the Tea Party and provide President Obama with a Congress that will work with him to achieve the progress and expanded opportunity the American people want and deserve. And please don’t underestimate the importance of this election. In 2010 we lost the last midterm congressional election to the Tea Party Republicans. We simply cannot afford to let this happen again in 2014. The only way to ensure that President Obama has the support he needs to enact his agenda is by winning on Election Day. And to do this, the President needs the help of every Democrat, including you. As President Obama outlined in his recent State of the Union address, there is still so much to be accomplished to make the playing field level for everyday, hard-working Americans. Every American deserves fair pay. More jobs must be created. And the middle class must be strengthened. But to accomplish these goals, we need to provide President Obama with a Congress which will cooperate with him rather than impede progress. So please let us know you received your White House print by returning the enclosed delivery verification form, and include a generous contribution to enable all of our Democratic candidates … up-and-down the ticket … to win a great victory in November. Sincerely,
Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz DNC Chair P.S.
Time is running out. To positively affect this important election, our candidates need your help NOW. So please return your delivery verification form along with a generous contribution right away. I look forward to your reply.
