WOMEN NEED TO PULL AHEAD

email-header_emily_nyreblog_com_.gifBREAKING: Rove's Crossroads GPS attacks Tammy Baldwin and Shelley Berkley

Lucas,

As unbelievable as it sounds, the campaign attacks in some of our critical races are actually escalating. Four of our strong women candidates -- Shelley Berkley, Tammy Baldwin, Annie Kuster, and Betty Sutton -- are tied in their races. But they need our immediate help to pull ahead by Election Day.

I've been awed by these women's strength and resilience under pressure. While we wince at the nasty tone of their opponents' attacks, they simply square their shoulders and go about the business of rebuilding a progressive America. They have earned my deepest respect and support and, I hope, yours.

We need to get Shelley Berkley, Tammy Baldwin, Annie Kuster, and Betty Sutton out in front of their Republican opponents -- and frankly, we're running out of time.

Rush a $10 contribution to Shelley, Tammy, Annie, and Betty right now and 100% will go directly to their campaigns.

Contribute now.

We need to pull together for Shelley, who's holding Sen. Dean Heller's feet to the fire over his "proud" votes to end Medicare as we know it and his opposition to equal pay. And Tammy needs our support to fend off unrelenting attacks from radically anti-woman former Gov. Tommy Thompson, now hitting the trail with Paul Ryan to rally his right-wing base.

We've got to help Annie in her rematch with GOP Rep. Charlie Bass, who voted alongside Paul Ryan and Todd Akin to redefine rape and make sure Betty holds her seat against Right-to-Life-endorsed Rep. Jim Renacci.

Please step up for Shelley, Tammy, Annie, and Betty right now -- we've got to help these women break away from their right-wing opponents before it's too late.

Winning these races will be critical not just to winning the House and holding the Senate, but to helping re-elect President Obama. Just look at a map -- we're talking about Nevada, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Ohio -- all key presidential battleground states.

That doubles the impact of your contribution! So not only will you support strong progressive women, you'll also help defeat the trickle-down, double-back Romney-Ryan agenda.

But it all comes down to these last 20 days. Please give what you can right now.

Warmest regards,

Ellen R. Malcolm
Chair and Founder
