Dear Lucas,
I just got back from Madison, Wisconsin, and I can tell you one thing: everybody is talking about these recall elections. The countdown to Election Day has started, and both sides are marshaling their resources. EMILY's List members like you have already done so much for our five pro-choice, Democratic women candidates looking to win seats away from Republicans who stripped state employees of their rights to bargain for a fair wage, decimated the education budget, and gave tax breaks to the wealthy.
Now with the clock ticking, we are beginning the most critical part of our operation: getting out the votes we need to win. And for that, we need you. With your support, we can return the Wisconsin senate to Democratic control and help stop the war on Wisconsin women.
On August 3, we are holding a Team EMILY national call-in night, with volunteers calling Wisconsin residents and reminding them to get out and vote. You can make the difference in this election by signing up to make just a single hour of calls -- from your own home!
Team EMILY has done it before. In May, we helped put Kathy Hochul over the top in New York with a coordinated day of calls, reaching thousands of voters. And last year we helped push Sens. Barbara Boxer and Patty Murray to victory -- so I know that with your help we can make Wisconsin a success and send a powerful message to Republicans across the country that women are standing up for our families and our values.
I hope you can join us on the phones!
Best,
Denise Feriozzi
