POLITICO: If John Boehner had his way, Republicans would stop talking about student loans and the Violence Against Women Act. The political calculus for Boehner is simple: These fights are losers for the House majority.
Lucas --
Speaker John Boehner may not want to "talk" about what Republicans in Congress are doing to women, students, the middle class and seniors.
But thanks to your incredible outpouring of support, we're going to hold these out-of-touch Republicans accountable for their extreme records.
I'm proud to report that you helped us reach 100,000 grassroots donors in the month of May. Thursday alone was our second biggest online fundraising day ever -- and with your support, I know we'll continue to break even more records in the next five months.
The support you provide makes all of our work possible -- from funding rapid response research and advertising for our Democratic candidates , to putting field organizers on the ground, to voter protection efforts.
On behalf of Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and our entire Democratic Caucus, thank you for everything you're doing to win a Democratic Majority for President Obama.

P.S. Stay tuned for updates on more ways your grassroots activism can continue to make a difference. For right now, I hope you will sign our petition standing with President Obama for a Violence Against Women Act that protects all women.
