ACTION: We're Falling Behind!

By Mike Nellis
July 1, 2009

Hi folks! I'm the new Online Director for the Kansas Democratic Party. We launched this campaign on Monday, so far we've got our budget up to $2,322! We'd appreciate any support.

Kansas Democrats have always had the advantage in online organizing. Terrific Democrats like former Governor Kathleen Sebelius and current House candidate Sean Tevis have put Kansas politics on the map with their innovative online tactics.

It's been an important advantage over the years.

But now, the Sam Brownback-led Republican Party is getting ready to nominate the most conservative slate of candidates in years and they're starting to gain on us online.

We can't let that happen. That's why we need your help to launch a cutting edge website that will empower Kansas Democrats to organize online!

The "50 State Strategy" has been crucial to our success nationwide in the last two cycles. Forcing Republicans to compete everywhere helps our efforts in blue states, red states, and all those in between. Not to forget, it also gives Democrats in red states an opportunity for victory and an opportunity to lead. As we've seen before, it can change the dynamics of local politics.

Kansas is no different and 2010 is important. We have a chance to take out an incumbent freshman Congresswoman, retain the Governors office, battle it out in an open Senate and multiple Congressional races, and build on our recent success in the Kansas House of Representatives.

We need to maintain our competitive advantage online and a state of the art of website is the first step.

Below is the email we just blasted out to our list. We'd appreciate your support in this effort.

Friend --

Things are starting to heat up this summer and we can’t let the GOP get a head start.

Kansas Democrats have always had the advantage online, but our Republican counterparts are starting to gain on us and we can’t let that happen. That’s why we asked you to get involved in our online strategy two weeks ago. You responded, and with one voice demanded that we launch a new website.

Please make a donation of $50, $25, or $10 and help us redesign the KDP website!

A cutting edge website will not be cheap.

In fact, to do it right, we estimate that we’ll need to invest at least $10,000.

That sounds lofty, but let’s put it in perspective.

Over 1,000 dedicated activists from across the state took our online survey. That means that all we’ll need is $10 from every person who helped develop the very strategy we plan to implement.

Click here to make an investment in the future of the Kansas Democratic Party!

The stakes could not be higher.

Next November, we will face off against a unified Republican Party. That’s why we need to maintain our competitive advantage online. Our new website will be a place where Democrats will find more than information; it will be a place for you to organize throughout Kansas with the simple click of a button.

It’s in your hands now. Will you make a donation and help us meet our $10,000 goal?

We’ve gathered your ideas and listened to your suggestions. Now we need your help to implement them.

Thanks for all that you do,

Mike Nellis
Online Director – Kansas Democratic Party

P.S. If you can’t make a donation, please pass this on to 10 of your friends and help invest in the KDP!
