It’s a clip of Sherrod on Rachel Maddow’s show talking about the millions of undisclosed, special interest, Karl Rove-directed dollars pouring into the Ohio Senate race.
Watching it makes me proud to be on Sherrod’s team. Click — to hear about what we’re fighting for straight from Sherrod — then make a contribution to help us get this message out!
We need to reach $500,000 in our Truth Fund this month. It’s a huge goal, but we’re on our way.
And with $10 million already spent against Sherrod on TV ads, now’s the time for you to act.
I hope you enjoy the video — and I hope you’ll consider making a grassroots investment in our campaign today.
Thank you so much,
Sarah Benzing Campaign Manager Friends of Sherrod Brown
If you’re looking for a progressive take on the current political news, ThinkProgress has you covered. Catch up on the biggest stories from the past week that you may have missed:
When two female legislators were banned from the Michigan House floor last week after saying the word “vagina” during a debate about an anti-abortion measure, people across the country spoke out for the right to discuss and defend women’s health.
The growing accessibility of birth control is having a hugely positive effect on women’s health, contributing to a significant drop in unplanned pregnancy and abortion rates for women in their 20s.
The House of Representatives just passed legislation catering to oil and gas interests at the expense of environmental concerns – and the members who voted for the bill are lining their pockets with oil and gas money.

Get the facts –> http://OFA.BO/hq2TYP Mitt Romney in 2002: “I’m going to reduce taxes.”
As Governor, Mitt Romney did cut taxes…on millionaires like himself.
But he raised taxes and fees on everyone else: $1.5 billion.
Over a thousand fee hikes:
On health care. On school bus rides. On milk. On driver’s licenses. On nursing homes. On lead poisoning prevention. On meat and poultry inspection. On fishermen and gun owners. On nurses. On electricians. On hospitals. On funeral homes. On mental health services. On hospice care. On elevator repair.
Romney Economics didn’t work then. And won’t work now.
Write Congress Today! Tell your member of Congress: Don’t block vital standards for our health and environment—vote no on the Gasoline Regulations Act.
The House of Representatives will soon vote on yet another fossil fuel industry-backed bill, attacking clean air and public health. It is critical that we stand up for strong standards based on independent science, not false economic claims from big polluters.
The Gasoline Regulations Act (H.R. 4771) is an all-out attack on our clean air and public health. The bill would force the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to give undo weight to the industry’s economic claims when setting what should be, first and foremost, science-based standards that protect our health and environment. The legislation delays standards that would save lives and save money by reducing sulfur in gasoline.
The bill also attacks standards that would limit ozone and other harmful air pollutants from power plants and global warming emissions from oil refineries. Some members of Congress may even attempt to amend the bill to prevent the EPA from moving forward with their historic draft standard to limit global warming pollution from new power plants.
Fossil fuel lobbyists and their allies in Congress are attacking the EPA with false claims about the impact that these proposed standards might have on gas prices. But we know that this bill will have no effect on fuel prices, but would have a lasting, negative impact on public health.
Congress needs to hear from Americans like you who support the EPA’s efforts to protect our health from dirty energy and dirty fuels. Tell your member of Congress: Don’t block vital standards for our health and environment—vote no on the Gasoline Regulations Act. Take Action Today!
