Dear Lucas,
When a threat to our progressive values flares up, we look to Kirsten to tamp it down.
Whether it's an attack on women's reproductive rights, a challenge to equality for gays and lesbians, or a threat to our environmental protections, Kirsten has consistently been there to protect the things we truly care about.
We can't take for granted that Kirsten will always be there. One Republican opponent has already pledged to spend $5 million of his own money to take away her seat in 2012.
You can help ensure that Kirsten remains in the Senate by giving to her campaign today. With your support, Kirsten will win in 2012 and keep on fighting to protect our progressive values.
The Congressional Republicans are refusing to work with us in any way. Even the one issue we should be able to agree on--job creation--can't attract GOP support. They're blocking every bill the Democrats put forward to put people back to work and get our economy back on track.
Kirsten is doing everything she can to combat extreme Republican obstructionism, but there's still much to be done. One year from now she'll be facing a tough re-election battle. She needs your help today so she can win that race and keep on working for the things we believe in.
Kirsten has been a stalwart protector of progressive values in the Senate. I hope she can count on your stalwart support.
Sincerely,
Lillian
Women for Gillibrand
