Lucas —
Did you hear about the video of Thom Tillis that hit the Internet this morning?
It shows him complaining that the “traditional” American population
isn't growing as quickly as Hispanic and African American communities.
The guy trying to unseat Senator Kay Hagan in November really believes
that Hispanic and African American North Carolinians are somehow separate
from the “traditional” population of the state!
What's worse is that his race against Senator Hagan is a toss-up —
Thom Tillis could really be the next senator from North Carolina.
Help us defend Senator Kay Hagan and other pro-choice Democratic champions
from their out-of-touch Tea Party challengers by rushing a $3 donation
to EMILY's List right now.
We need elected officials like Senator Hagan who respect our real American
tradition — that we're all created equal, regardless of gender or race.
That's why just this week, EMILY's List went up on the air with
an ad in North Carolina to help defend Senator Hagan against the relentless
attacks Thom Tillis and his Tea Party allies are slinging at her.
Keeping that ad on the air — and ads like it supporting other pro-choice
champions across the country — is the most important thing we can
do to stop a Tea Party takeover of Congress. I don't want to imagine
what Thom Tillis' legislative agenda would look like, because I'm
sure it would start with rolling back our progress and the rights we've
fought so hard to defend.
Donate $3 right now to show the Tea Party you've had enough of their
“traditional” nonsense – and to help us elect more Democratic
women like Senator Hagan.
Thanks for stepping up — it's really important.
