Dear Lucas,
Breaking news from Massachusetts: a new poll shows Elizabeth Warren pulling ahead of Tea Party favorite Scott Brown for the first time! Just three months after she announced she was running, Elizabeth has turned this race into a dead heat.
Make no mistake -- the race is far from over, and it will be independent voters who ultimately decide. Right now, that same poll shows Brown leading among independents by 18 points, so we have a long way to go between now and November.
That's where EMILY's List comes in. Our WOMEN VOTE! program combines the most advanced targeting methods with 15 years of research on how to best reach and persuade swing women voters, and we are already developing plans to make sure independent women in Massachusetts vote for middle-class champion Elizabeth Warren.
We need you to put our plans into action! Rush a contribution now to help our Massachusetts WOMEN VOTE! program put Elizabeth over the top in November 2012.
Karl Rove's propaganda outfit, Crossroads GPS, has already put its first ad on the air, pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into his effort to defeat Elizabeth. He'll spend millions more before this race is done, running more ads that distort her record and tell outright lies.
We can't let Karl Rove decide this race.
With the resources you provide, our Massachusetts WOMEN VOTE! program will reach key independent voters -- in person, through TV and radio ads, on the phone, and online. We'll make sure they know the truth about Elizabeth Warren's story, how she has spent her life fighting for the middle class. And come Election Day, we'll get them to the polls so they can vote to send her to Washington.
Contribute today to fund our Massachusetts WOMEN VOTE! program to help Elizabeth Warren grow her lead and keep it through Election Day!
Thanks for your support -- I know it will make the difference in this race.
Take care,
Stephanie Schriock
President
