Politicians React To Oklahoma City Tornado
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Raised Record $15 Million Last Month
The haul was more than double what the DSCC took in during August, The Hill reported.
"Democrats are increasingly unified and motivated in the final stretch of the midterm elections," DSCC Executive Director J.B. Poersch (pictured) said in a statement. "As Republicans nominate extremists who want to return to the failed Bush economic policies of the past, Democrats are ready to fight."
The record-breaking month brings the national party group's fundraising total for the 2010 election cycle to just over $100 million, according to The New York Times.
Poersch said the money is being spent to make sure candidates have "the resources they need to wage competitive races and ultimately keep Democrats in the Senate majority."
The National Republican Senatorial Committee hasn't released its September numbers yet.
In August, the DSCC out-raised the NRSC by more than $1 million, pulling in $7.4 million to the GOP's $6 million, The Hill reported.

I demand to know where every cent of this money came from. Who is behind it? If it's fair for the left to make such demands of the right, they must subject themselves to the same suspicions and scrutiny.

I live in Fort Wayne,IN where people need 2 and 3 jobs to make ends meet, not to mention a catholic school that requires 78% tuition assistance for students who cannot afford to attend.

They will find a way to distribute it amongst themselves so they have a "nice" little savings when they are ousted. Politicians are greedy and scandalous. Case closed!!!

Prior to the citizens united decicision by the roberts court, individuals and corporations were limited to donations of 2500 per election and all donors were public. When the activist Roberts court overturned one hundred years of precident and said corporations are citizens and can give unlimited amounts anonmously to political campaigns, we arrived at the current juncture where we have no idea who is funding candidates. I'm not surprised you did'nt know this since you can't spell "their"

October 15 2010 at 8:17 PM Report abuse Permalink +3 rate up rate down ReplyHmmm...imagine if they put this much effort in reducing the deficit and creating jobs?
October 15 2010 at 7:56 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down ReplySadly running up somebody else's (American people's) credit cards makes Democrats looks smart...for a while. That Post-Soviet Era spending has been fun...Bankruptcy and loss of credibility will be tough.
October 15 2010 at 7:03 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down ReplyAre they going to release the donor list so we can be sure they accepted no foreign money?
October 15 2010 at 6:47 PM Report abuse Permalink +8 rate up rate down Replythat's what we want the Republicans to do. You had a judge put into law that you don't have to disclose contributors, that's a violation since most of those millionaires are either from oil, Fox news and insurance not to mention out of this country!
