Lucas --
A trailblazing former police chief. A decorated war hero. A lifetime educator
and community leader aiming to become the first woman to represent Iowa in
Congress. These three terrific women House candidates are all giving right-wing
GOP incumbents a run for their money -- and they're all counting on you to help
them meet critical July fundraising goals.
We have just days to help Val
Demings, Tammy
Duckworth and Christie
Vilsack hit the July 31 goals that will allow them to ramp up
their media and field strategies - and help Democrats recapture the House.
Polling shows these races among the country's tightest - so we don't have a
minute to waste. Please give what you can right now.
Contribute right now to help Val, Tammy and
Christie -- your donation will go directly to these candidates' campaigns.

As Orlando's Police Chief, Val
Demings dramatically lowered crime rates, boosted domestic
violence arrests and improved child safety -- but right-wing groups are already
jumping in to attack Val and prop up lackluster Tea Party Rep. Daniel Webster.
- Decorated Iraq war veteran Tammy
Duckworth has spent nearly a decade fighting to improve the
lives of America's veterans -- but her self-proclaimed "crazy Tea Party
freshman" opponent, Rep. Joe Walsh, recently belittled her service and
sacrifice. When pressed, Walsh doubled down -- so we need to redouble our own
efforts to send him packing.
- And teacher, literacy activist and former Iowa First Lady Christie Vilsack is
poised to make history as the first woman to serve the Hawkeye State in
Congress. Thanks to redistricting, her race against Michele Bachmann ally Rep.
Steve King, who called Sen. Joe McCarthy a "hero," is one of 2012's most
competitive.
Val, Tammy
and Christie represent what it really means to get Off the Sidelines. They're
working hard, running strong, and giving Democrats a fighting chance at taking
back the House -- but they can't miss a single deadline. Can you lend a hand
today? It would mean a lot to me personally. This is an amazing opportunity to
add three strong, independent women to Congress.

Christie -- your direct support today will make sure they have the resources
they need for the final 100 days.
Thanks for your support,
Kirsten Gillibrand
