PUSH BACK AND HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD

Carolyn McCarthy for Congress

Lucas,

The Republican Majority in the House of Representatives right now is possibly the most conservative and obstructionist one ever, blocking and hacking away at commonsense legislation that has a long tradition of bipartisan support.

It's time for reasonable people to push back and have our voices heard.

The Violence Against Women Act passed the House almost unanimously in 2005. Today, it's been allowed to expire under this very conservative House Majority.

VAWA passed in the Democratic-led Senate overwhelmingly last week, and it's time for the House Republican Majority to follow suit. Click here to tell House Republicans that we won't stand for this kind of obstruction anymore.

Whether as an ICU nurse or as a voice for gun violence victims, I've dedicated much of my life to saving lives in our country. The same goes for my support for the Violence Against Women's Act, a bill that helps prevent and assist victims in cases of rape, domestic violence and stalking.

But unfortunately, Democrats don't control the House, and less than 20% of either party in Congress are women. Click here to help us get the House Republican Majority to put extreme ideology aside and act to protect women across America.

It's unfortunate that this is even a matter of debate, but it's important that we make legislative leaders do the right thing. Pass this message along to people you know, and thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Carolyn
