Trust me -- after all my years of experience in politics, I've seen just about every dirty, rotten GOP trick in the book. Republicans are throwing whatever they can at us. They can't force the president to adopt their dreadful ideas, so they threaten to shut down the government. They fail at making their extremist policies the law of the land, so now they've resorted to extortion.
That's why, right now, there's nothing more critical than making sure we never let up in our support for the Democratic women leaders who've taken the leap and run for office -- the ones on the front lines, facing the GOP's ruthless tricks every single day.
EMILY's List needs to reach 40,000 grassroots donations by midnight. Donate right now to help us get there and show the radical GOP how hard you're willing to fight.
The GOP is at its absolute worst with no end in sight: passing outrageous anti-choice legislation in North Carolina, supporting a candidate who compared abortion to slavery, and backing representatives throughout the country who just don't care about the health of women and families.
If we fall short of our goal this quarter, women and families will suffer. Our Democratic majority in the Senate is in dire risk. Losing that majority puts crucial rights for women at the mercy of a Republican Party completely obsessed with slashing them.
But with more and more Democratic women in office, a push for equality is a priority, voting rights are fought for, pro-choice values have a seat at the table. I've seen it for almost 30 years now, ever since I gathered a few friends up and set out to start EMILY's List.
So I'm asking you too, just like I did with those first few friends. Out of the millions of EMILY's List supporters, will you be able to say you helped send Mitch McConnell packing in 2014?
Can I count on you to take a moment right now? Donate to EMILY's List immediately and help us get to our quarter goal of 40,000 donations. Do it now and stand with us.
This is when it matters, folks. Get in the game right now. If you don't, you risk leaving our women at the mercy of some of the worst GOP attacks we've ever seen.
Warmest regards,
Ellen R. Malcolm
Founder and Chair, EMILY's List
