Thanks to your calls, e-mails and Facebook shares, the Paycheck Fairness Act may make it onto the Senate floor as early as this week, and we need your generous support to ensure that the Senate passes this important legislation, which will help close the wage gap that women face. It’s a critical week for success on fair pay, and Lilly Ledbetter — whose courage to speak up and fight has made a difference for women across the country — is flying into town to make sure Congress hears our message loud and clear: Women are NOT WorthLess!™ Check out this inspiring video message from Lilly and donate today to help ensure a win for fair pay. The Paycheck Fairness Act can make a real difference in women’s lives, and your support could make a difference in achieving this important victory. This legislation, already approved by the House, strengthens wage discrimination protections and provides tools to support women in their fight for fair pay. The Senate must act quickly to pass this bill, which is the key next step to achieving pay equity in the United States. The Center’s I Am Not WorthLess campaign is gaining traction but we need your support today for the final push. As Lilly and the Center say: Women Are Not WorthLess, and neither are you!

Fight for the DREAM Act
 |
| The Senate is about to vote on the DREAM Act — the legislation that offers undocumented children, who are American in every way but their papers, a fair chance at a future.
Young people who are willing to work for a college degree or serve in our armed forces would be able to contribute their talents to this country and earn the rights that come with being an American. President Obama has supported this bipartisan bill for years — he even sponsored it when he was in the Senate — and he’s ready to go all in with us to see the DREAM Act passed. But a group of Republican lawmakers is threatening to block this legislation. They’re led by people like Sen. Jon Kyl, who has called the proposal “a mistake,” and Rep. Lamar Smith, who has said, “The DREAM Act is a nightmare for the American people.” Mitch McConnell — the GOP leader in the Senate — has the ability to ensure that the DREAM Act gets a vote. Will you ask Mitch McConnell to support the DREAM Act? Call his office now: (202) 224-2541. We know the immigration debate can be contentious, but this a point on which the American people agree: It’s time to stop punishing innocent young people for the actions of their parents. Those who are willing to work hard for an education or serve their country deserve a shot at earning American citizenship. The DREAM Act has incredible support: I’ve seen research that shows 70 percent of the voters in this country would like to see it become law — and both parties have backed it in the past. We can’t let a group of Republicans hijack this process now, and together, we can ensure they won’t. Tell Sen. McConnell to support the DREAM Act: (202) 224-2541. Thanks, Mitch Mitch Stewart |

A message from Nancy Pelosi
 |
Starting this week, in battleground states across America, voters are casting their ballots in early voting.
That means this could be our last chance to get out our message to voters in several competitive districts. It is up to us make sure that voters know what is at stake in this election. If we wait until October to expose Republicans’ plans to privatize Social Security, cut Medicare, or extend tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas, it could be too late.
We need to raise $500,000 to fully deploy our Early Voter Action Plan in time to reach these critical voters. This is such a critical deadline that a group of committed Democrats will give two dollars for every dollar you contribute.
Contribute $5, $10 or more to the DCCC’s Early Voter Action Fund by this Friday, September 24th, and your support will be matched 2-to-1. That means your contribution will be worth triple what you give.
Your generosity today will directly affect how many voters in swing districts will be able to mobilize before Election Day. And now that early voting has started, time is of the essence.
Early voting was a key factor to our success in the historic 2008 election. We know that our finely tuned ground game and sophisticated turnout models will give us the edge in these elections — but only if we have the resources to deploy these critical programs.
If we all stand together with our strong House candidates, we will maintain our strong majority to keep moving America forward into the future. We are not going back to the failed Republican policies of the past.
Thank you for your continuing support.
Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House
P.S. Help us raise the $500,000 we need to fully fund our Early Voter Action Fund. Remember to send your contribution before Friday, September 24th and it will be matched 2-to-1. Thank you.
