Dear Lucas,
It's started. Karl Rove's front group, American Crossroads, is on the air in Massachusetts with attack ads against Elizabeth Warren.
We knew it was coming. With Elizabeth's history of standing up for ordinary Americans against the excesses of Wall Street, the big banks and financial firms are terrified of seeing her make it to the U.S. Senate. That means Rove will have unlimited funds at his disposal to run whatever smears, distortions, and outright lies he can come up with.
And Elizabeth Warren? She has us. EMILY's List is helping candidates like Elizabeth raise money to run strong campaigns and turn out the voters they'll need to overcome special interest spending and win tough elections. And we can't do it without your help.
Click here to rush a contribution to EMILY's List today so we can stand up to Karl Rove's attacks and help our candidates like Elizabeth Warren win.
Elizabeth Warren has dedicated her life to helping ordinary Americans, and will do the same in the U.S. Senate. But Karl Rove's ad distorts her record and her statements. That's his modus operandi. And Elizabeth isn't the only one he's after. Already Rove's made his mark in Missouri, where he's attacking EMILY's List candidate Sen. Claire McCaskill.
With all the strong, Democratic, pro-choice women running for office in 2012 and the Senate majority at stake, we'll see attacks like this from Karl Rove and his shady right-wing front group again and again and again.
If you want women like Elizabeth Warren, Mazie Hirono, Tammy Baldwin, and Shelley Berkley in the Senate, we need your support right now to fight back against Karl Rove's money machine.
With your support, we can put these amazing new candidates in the Senate and build our firewall against the radical Republican agenda.
Make sure we have the resources to stand up to Rove's vicious attacks and help our women win -- contribute to EMILY's List today!
Time and time again, you've come through for EMILY's List and our candidates when we've needed you most. And I know this will be no exception.
All the best,
Amy K. Dacey
Executive Director
