ARE YOU FREE MONDAY NIGHT?

Dear Lucas,

The last few months of Republican extremism have gotten me fired up to fight back! And right now, we have an incredible opportunity to win a seat previously held by a GOP Young Gun -- and put it in the hands of EMILY's List candidate Kathy Hochul running in a special election in New York's 26th district. Believe me, you know the Republicans are scared when they're sending in John Boehner and big cash from Karl Rove's groups. And it's because we have a real shot at winning this Republican leaning seat -- and you can help!

By volunteering with Team EMILY, you can have an immediate impact on this late-breaking red-to-blue race by connecting with Democratic women voters who might not otherwise turn out in this important election. Let me tell you: an hour of phone calls -- that you can make from home! -- reminding Democratic women to get out and vote can make or break it in a special election like this one.

Will you sign up today to join Team EMILY and volunteer just an hour of your time on Monday, May 23 to make an impact on Kathy Hochul's race?

Think about it this way: last year, Team EMILY volunteers made 121,155 calls and spoke to 23,484 Democratic women voters. Their efforts helped push Sen. Barbara Boxer and Sen. Patty Murray to victory. Our experts do all the work of finding the right women voters for you to speak to and giving you the best talking points -- all you need is to give a little of your time so we can help put a new pro-choice, Democratic woman in the House.

So many of you have already shown your support for Kathy by making a contribution to her campaign, and we can't thank you enough. We know that the strength of our community drives all of our efforts. When we combine that with EMILY's List's years of political experience and knowledge, we get an incredible effort like Team EMILY that gets women to the polls in critical races -- and you can be part of it!

Find out how just one hour of your time with Team EMILY on Monday, May 23 can make the difference in turning out voters to Kathy Hochul's critical race -- click here and sign up today.

By participating in effective grassroots efforts like Team EMILY, you're not only making your voice heard -- you're helping pave the way for more women to get to elected office. When that happens, we all win.

Looking forward to having you join us!

Best,

Denise Feriozzi
WOMEN VOTE! Director
