I’m writing with an urgent request for support.
With John Kerry’s appointment as secretary of State, his U.S. Senate seat hangs in the balance with a special election in Massachusetts. The Democratic primary is just weeks away and there is only one candidate — Rep. Ed Markey — with a solid record of protecting reproductive freedom.
Please help make a difference in this critical Senate race and in our ongoing work to protect choice at all levels by making an urgent donation today.
Special elections are fast and costly. Every dollar we spend mobilizing volunteers, canvassing, distributing door hangers, and phone banking in Massachusetts is over and above our budget. That’s why we need your support today to help us raise an additional $50,000 by March 31 to make a difference in this race and to continue our work to protect choice at all levels of government.
As you know, Sen. John Kerry had a strong pro-choice voting record. This special election puts this critical seat at risk — and could weaken our needed firewall against the extreme anti-choice agenda in Congress.
So please donate today. If Rep. Markey’s opponent, anti-choice Rep. Stephen Lynch, wins the Democratic primary, it could prove disastrous for women across the country.
In seven out of the last 11 years, Rep. Lynch received a 50-percent or less rating in our Congressional Record on Choice. In 2004 and 2006, Lynch’s votes were so bad, he scored a ZERO rating. He even voted to give legal rights to a pregnancy!
please donate today to help us reach our goal of raising $50,000 by March 31.
With your urgent donation today, NARAL Pro-Choice America can invest much-needed resources into spreading the word to Massachusetts voters that Rep. Ed Markey is the only candidate in this primary who women can trust to defend their reproductive rights.
Thank you for helping to make choice real for all women,

Ilyse G. Hogue President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
