TEA PARTY TARGETS




EMILY's List




Dear Lucas, Contribute today!

New day, different hurdles.

When I ran for Senate in 1986, they tried to chase me out of the race, saying a woman couldn't raise enough money to win. Now, the right wing is attacking our women -- even telling supporters to send one of our congresswomen, Betty Sutton, "back to the kitchen" -- and trying to raise the funds to push them out. That's where we come in.

The Tea Party crowd has launched all-out assaults on our women who supported health care -- from long-term members like my colleague Sen. Barbara Boxer to new members like Cong. Betsy Markey. Recently, the far-right Family Research Council announced a television attack campaign against a slew of pro-choice women.

EMILY's List stood by me in 1986, and they're going to be there this year, supporting the pro-choice Democratic women who need them most.

Contribute to EMILY's List before our April 30 deadline, and your contribution will be matched 2-to-1, tripling your impact! And, for $25 or more, EMILY's List will send you a free 25th Anniversary commemorative tote bag!

When I came to the Senate, I was the first Democratic woman senator elected in her own right -- and, believe me, we've come a long way since then. But women still face hurdles -- and this year is shaping up to be one of the most challenging ever. Right-wing groups are working together to unseat as many Democrats as possible -- and they've made it clear our women are among their top targets.

There's no doubt about it -- the midterm elections are going to be tough, especially for the pro-choice Democratic women who are already under attack.

EMILY's List will be right there with them -- raising the money they'll need to fight back, providing strategic guidance and support, and making sure women voters get to the polls for our candidates.

But EMILY's List can only do their work if we're with them all the way. Please contribute to EMILY's List today so they can help protect our incumbent women and add more to their ranks.

Contribute $25 or more to EMILY's List today to triple your impact and receive a free commemorative tote bag!

Thanks to you and other EMILY's List members, I'm no longer the lone Democratic woman in the Senate. We've made great progress, but we need to keep working.

Thank you very much for your support.

Sincerely,



Senator Barbara Mikulski
