Dear Lucas,
They're at it again: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce just went up on the air in seven of our races -- attacking our champions like Mazie Hirono and Louise Slaughter while boosting their right-wing and Tea Party opponents.
It's no surprise that the Chamber is targeting these races. Far-right, outside groups know that our pro-choice, Democratic women are the key to taking back the House and holding the Senate. And they're coming after them with everything they have: millions of dollars and vicious ads.
This isn't your local chamber of commerce -- The U.S. Chamber represents some of the biggest, most right-wing corporate interests in the country. They're nothing more than a front group for the Republican Party, and they'll stop at nothing to take down our champions for the middle-class. We've got to fight back. They would love it if we just sat by and let them define these campaigns and malign our candidates -- but we'll do no such thing.
Contribute to EMILY's List today to ensure that our women candidates have the defenses they need against Chamber of Commerce attacks.
Listen, it's bad enough that the Chamber is itching to defeat our candidates. Even worse, they support some of the most damaging right-wingers out there: extremists, Tea Partiers, and friends of Roy Blunt -- the GOP senator who authored the infamous amendment to let employers deny birth control coverage to American women.
With the Chamber slinging mud on the air, these seven EMILY's List women need our help. While they're fighting for our rights in Congress, Republicans and their allies are attacking them and distorting their records. We can win these races -- and beat the Tea Party -- but we need you to stand with us right now.
Contribute to EMILY's List today so we can fight back against the Chamber's smear campaigns -- and hold the Senate and regain the House.
Thank you for everything you do.
Take care,
Stephanie Schriock
President
