BACK TO THE KITCHEN!

emily's_list_email_banner_nyreblog_com_.gifDear Lucas,

Contribute today! The GOP is ramping up for another 1994. Back then, I was President Clinton's press secretary, and I remember all too well how hard they fought to capture the majority. We can't let it happen again.

The Republican attack machine is at full throttle, pointed squarely at pro-choice Democratic women they've targeted to oust from Congress, including Barbara Boxer, Patty Murray, Betty Sutton, and freshmen Democrats like Betsy Markey.

We need every Democratic woman we have -- and then some. They stood up for women's health care. They stood up for reproductive rights. They're fighting for us every day -- and now we need to fight for them.

With less than six months to go in this tough election cycle, EMILY's List still has $33,415 to raise to reach its May fundraising goal. A group of generous EMILY's List members has agreed to match your contribution 3-to-1 if you make it by midnight on May 31.

Click here to contribute to EMILY's List today and your gift will have three times the impact -- if you give before midnight on May 31!

We've worked for two decades for health care -- and finally our work is paying off.

President Obama's leadership was key in making health care reform a reality -- but it wouldn't have passed if Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic women in Congress hadn't stood firm against Republican attempts to weaken and kill the bill.

Now, these women are paying the price, becoming targets in the GOP's quest to take control of Congress. Right-wing robocalls have begun, shadowy third-party groups are pouring money into races, and Republican leaders are making their attacks personal, going so far as to say that Cong. Sutton in Ohio's 13th district should be sent "back to the kitchen."

But EMILY's List is ready. They're on the ground, fighting to help incumbents like Senator Boxer keep her seat in her toughest re-election race ever. They're helping elect women like Terri Sewell, who would become the first African-American woman elected to Congress from Alabama. All over the country, they're building the resources pro-choice Democratic women need to overcome the GOP's attacks.

By supporting EMILY's List, you can help ensure that 2010 isn't another 1994. Please help EMILY's List reach its May fundraising goal by contributing today. Remember, your contribution will be matched 3-to-1.

Contribute to EMILY's List before midnight on May 31, and your gift will be matched 3-to-1!

Thanks for working to help the Democratic women in Congress who've fought for us, and for adding to their ranks, by being part of the EMILY's List community.

Sincerely,


Dee Dee Myers
