New DCCC fundraising pich: ‘Make Boehner cry’

Read this DCCC fundraising pitch, and weep:

We all know it doesn’t take much to make Speaker Boehner get teary-eyed. But let’s give him something to really cry about. Just 24 hours from now marks the first mid-year Federal Election Commission (FEC) deadline of the 2012 campaign. This deadline is so huge that just last week Boehner announced he’s transferring $1 million of his own Big-Oil-tainted funds to our Republican counterparts to give the false impression that they are the ones with the momentum at this critical benchmark. We can’t let this stand.We absolutely must exceed Boehner’s cash infusion with over $1 million in grassroots support of our own.
