With just 27 days until Election Day, I’ve got big news:
We just launched our first TV ad of the general election, highlighting one of the many ways that Maria has made life better for the people of our state: by working with businesses to create jobs here in Washington, including for our veterans.
Too many veterans serve our country and then find it difficult to secure jobs when they return home. Maria knows that we’ve got to change that.
In 27 days, we have a chance to send a champion of Washington back to the Senate. We know that Maria will fight for us day-in and day-out to increase employment opportunities and bring back jobs to Washington.
But we still need to get the word out in these final weeks of the campaign — please watch our new ad, then forward this email to your friends so that they can watch it, too!
This past week, I delivered your signature and 50,000 others to Paul Ryan’s office, demanding a debate. Today, I repeated this challenge on MSNBC.
Tomorrow, I’m holding a national call to respond to the VP debate and — once again — demand that Ryan debate me. Media and PCCC members are invited, and I’ll take questions.
PCCC members have been there for me time after time. You made over 42,000 calls for my campaign on Wednesday — and you’ve generously donated over $122,000 to my campaign this past year.
Thank you for helping me give Paul Ryan his toughest race in 12 years, including out-fundraising him last quarter. Let’s keep the pressure on!
See you on the call tomorrow.

P.S. You can also chip in a few bucks to my campaign here.
That’s how much money the opponents of the freedom to marry are raising to repeal marriage equality in Washington, and fight it in other states. And the National Organization for Marriage, or NOM, has quite a history of using that money to scare and mislead voters about what the freedom to marry means.
And, believe me — NOM is just beginning to drown Washington with campaign cash. Just last night, we learned that they’d transferred ANOTHER $400,000 into Washington.
After I emailed you about NOM’s campaign to — and I quote — “protect marriage from Barack Obama and his wealthy homosexual lobbyists”, some of our supporters suggested that I tell you exactly what these $3 million dollars in anonymous donations are going to buy.
In 2008, NOM ran an ad called “Princess” which featured a young girl telling her mom “what she learned in school today” — which was that “A prince can marry a prince, and I can marry a princess!” You know the argument by now: that somehow, allowing all loving couples to marry will upend our schools and threaten religious freedom. It was a lie then and it’s a lie now.
These are the kind of false attacks that we KNOW are coming.
We know, because the same organization, it’s same shadowy anonymous donors, and the same spin doctors that put together this ad are bankrolling — and leading — our opposition in Washington.
Nothing is more important than our children’s health. Yet, school food often falls short of proper nutritional and sustainability standards.
There’s no better time to highlight the importance of healthy, sustainable school food than during National School Lunch Week: October 15 – 19. And Earth Day Network is here to help.
Check out our National School Lunch Week campaign website to learn more and to see a special video message from the Harlem Globetrotters.
Make a commitment to talk to your kids about where their food comes from and how it affects their health and the environment. Then, ask local school administrators to participate in National School Lunch Week with school-wide observances.
Finally, tell your kids about our National School Lunch Week poster contest, and have them enter to win $100 and other prizes.
Together, we can ensure a bright, healthy and green future for America’s kids.
