Lucas, the most important thing to realize about the Tea Party candidates Republicans nominated in Virginia is that this isn't a case of one bad candidate: it's the whole ticket!
Ken Cuccinelli has said things every bit as extreme as E.W. Jackson – embracing "birther" conspiracy theories, attacking gays and lesbians, and even comparing women's reproductive rights to slavery. And on policy questions? Cuccinelli says he and Jackson would agree "every single time."
See below for a new video from American Bridge comparing the Virginia GOP ticket, top-to-bottom – we need to defeat EVERY extreme Tea Partier across the country to stop their radical agenda:
We're facing an urgent deadline to stop Tea Party Republicans like Cuccinelli, Jackson, and GOP legislators across they country who agree with their extreme views. We need to raise $65,000 by midnight Friday to launch our rapid-response against millions of dollars Republicans are spending to elect these candidates.
Please rush $10 or more to the DLCC to help meet our rapid-response deadline – your support by midnight Friday will help defeat Tea Party Republicans!
Friday's deadline is a key test of who has the momentum in the next election: if we let extremists like Cuccinelli and Jackson take the momentum now, we might not get it back in time for the election.
Thank you for fighting back,
Kurt Fritts
