Dear Lucas,
It's no big secret. Karl Rove knows that the Republican path to the Senate goes straight through our EMILY's List women. At the top of their target list? Claire McCaskill, Mazie Hirono, Debbie Stabenow, and Tammy Baldwin.
Rove has already gone on the attack against Claire, and you can bet that Debbie, Mazie, and Tammy are next.
Republicans are counting on Rove. Our candidates? They are counting on you. We don't have a minute to waste -- we must rush these women the resources to respond to attacks and gear up for what will be a costly and combative 2012.
Click here to rush a contribution to Debbie, Mazie, Claire, and Tammy. Every dollar will go directly to their campaigns.
A quick update on these key Senate contests: in Michigan, right-wing former GOP Cong. Pete Hoekstra leads the pack to challenge Debbie Stabenow, having snagged the endorsements of Tea Party luminaries Michele Bachmann and Sharron Angle. The entry of two-term former GOP Gov. -- and ace fundraiser -- Linda Lingle just made Mazie Hirono's race potentially very competitive, while Karl Rove has stepped up his attacks on Claire McCaskill with a sizeable TV buy, more radio and even billboards. Finally, former Wisconsin Gov. and Bush cabinet member Tommy Thompson officially entered the Senate race against Tammy Baldwin, promising to repeal health care reform if elected.
Click here to help Debbie, Mazie, Claire, and Tammy fight back against right-wing attacks. Remember, 100% of your contribution will go directly to their campaigns.
While these women are all running solid campaigns with strong momentum, the hard truth is that losing even one of these races could end our Democratic Senate majority. Mitch McConnell is waiting with bated breath to overturn health care reform, undo financial reforms, and ramp up the GOP's War on Women. We can't let that happen.
Earlier this week, I got to see these hardworking women candidates in action at an event for our members -- and I can attest to the fact that they are fired up and ready to win. But they can't win without your help. Please rush a contribution to Debbie, Mazie, Claire and Tammy today.
Thanks for your support,
