Women have the most to gain from this election. We also have the most to lose. Unless we stop the Republicans, this year may be the first year in 30 years that the number of women in Congress actually decreases. And that would be truly devastating to America's middle class. Courageous Democratic women across America continue to be the target of vicious Republican attacks by well-funded outside groups. I am asking you to help me raise $500,000 before Friday -- crucial funds that could mean the difference between victory and defeat for Democratic women nationwide. And that could mean a lot to you, or your daughters, sisters, wives or mothers. We must act now. Your generous support is urgently needed to help our courageous Democratic women under attack by the Republicans and their outside groups so we can maintain our strong Democratic House Majority. Contribute $5, $10 or more today. Women will decide the outcome of this election and the stakes have never been higher. The very first bill President Obama signed was our Lilly Ledbetter legislation to restore the rights of women to challenge unfair pay. Democrats have continued to put women and children first, but now all of our progress could be turned back. Republicans have pledged to dismantle our most historic achievements for women and families, including a repeal of health insurance reform that has ended the days where being a woman in America qualifies as a pre-existing medical condition. Your generous support is urgently needed to help our courageous Democratic women under attack by the Republicans and their outside groups so we can maintain our strong Democratic House Majority. Since 2006, Democratic women have known their power in elections. It is because of their determination and your generous support that I have the honor of being the first woman House Speaker. But we must work even harder in the days ahead. Now is the time to remind ourselves of all that we can achieve for America's women and families by maintaining our strong Democratic Majority and with our courageous Democratic women Members leading the charge!  Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House P.S. With so many Democratic women in battleground races being targeted by vicious Republican attacks by well-funded outside groups, every dollar you give could mean the difference between their victory or their defeat. Contribute before Friday. |
