Dear Lucas,
We've seen the headlines -- the GOP presidential horse race, the outrageous insults from Rush Limbaugh. But look behind these hot button stories, and you'll find a very real danger to women.
You'll see the ideologues in Congress who want to cut off family planning. You'll see the extremists in the states who want to put barriers between women and their doctors.
That's why we fight for the women who will stand up for women. That's why it's so important that our candidates win. If we elect more women, we can fundamentally change the way Washington works -- and stop the Republican War on Women in its tracks. But if we're going to do this, we need to do it together.
We need you to make 2012 another Year of the Woman. Help us reach our goal of $100,000 by 11:59 PM on March 31 -- and put a stop to the Far Right's attacks on women's freedoms by flooding Congress with pro-choice Democratic women. Your gift will be matched 2-1!
As Republicans show no signs of slowing their assault on our rights, it's the women EMILY's List has supported who are speaking out. Women like Barbara Boxer and Kirsten Gillibrand in the Senate and Carolyn Maloney and Diana DeGette in the House are fighting these tough battles and protecting our hard-won rights.
But they need backup! Let's send Val Demings and Annie Kuster to the House. And let's send Tammy Baldwin and Mazie Hirono and Shelley Berkley and Elizabeth Warren to the Senate so they can do even more.
I know what women can do. I had a front row seat in 1992 as women from across America, outraged by the treatment of Anita Hill, stood up and fought together to put more women in Congress than ever before. I'm seeing that again this year. We watched the recent Illinois primary and saw women like Tammy Duckworth and Cheri Bustos, along with women running for the state legislature, win big. And we're seeing results like that around the country.
We are the GOP's worst nightmare. They know that the EMILY's List community has the power to elect pro-choice Democratic women to Congress who will end Republican crusade against women's rights. They're going to spend millions of dollars to stop us.
Will you let them? Or will you join us today and help us win this historic fight?
Act right now. Click here to contribute to EMILY's List and help us reach our $100,000 goal by 11:59 PM on March 31. Remember that your gift will be matched 2-1. Let's fundamentally change Washington forever!
I'm so proud to work with you. Thank you for everything.
Warmest regards, 
Ellen R. Malcolm
Founder and Chair of the EMILY's List Board
