wants to repeal the landmark health care legislation recently passed by Congress.
In our State Legislature he wrote a budget that denied health care to 40,000 low-income children, and opposed negotiating with drug companies to reduce the cost of medicine.
He voted against our Patient’s Bill of Rights, and against putting patients and doctors – instead of insurance companies – in charge of medical decisions.
Dino Rossi would vote to overturn our freedom of choice, and says he might support requiring rape victims to bear the children of their attackers.

| Please let me be the first person to welcome you to People For the American Way and www.pfaw.org. Every day, PFAW is fighting hard for the core American values we share: Liberty, Equality, Religious Freedom and constitutional principles like checks and balances and fair courts that provide access to justice for all Americans, not just the very powerful.
In 1981, I became deeply concerned with what I saw as a fundamental attack on the American values I hold dear. Televangelists, then the public face of the growing Religious Right, were increasingly filling the airwaves with divisive messages that mixed religious dogma and politics and that challenged the faith of anyone whose politics were not aligned with theirs. What I was seeing was not what our country was supposed to be about… this was not the American Way. I woke up one morning with an idea for a television commercial to counter their televangelists, and the response was overwhelming. It turned out that the concerns I had weren’t mine alone — they were shared by millions of Americans from every walk of life. Taking the energy created by that ad, I joined with the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan of Texas, faith leaders and other concerned citizens to form People For the American Way Foundation, and three years later formed People For the American Way, an advocacy organization dedicated to exposing the extremism of the Far Right and defending the constitutional rights and values of all Americans. Over the next few weeks, we’ll help you get more acquainted with PFAW, teach you about the work in which we are engaged, and offer ways to get involved in the fight for issues you care about. For now, I would like to invite you to watch the TV ad that started it all, along with a more recent video that shows you what we’ve been up to in the nearly 30 years since that ad first aired:
And, of course, feel free to explore our web site at your leisure at www.pfaw.org. On behalf of the entire board and staff of People For the American Way and our affiliate People For the American Way Foundation, thank you for your activism and welcome to the family. Together, we can help make sure that America is the best it can be, and that the promises of Liberty, Equality, Justice for All — the American Way — become a reality. Sincerely,
Norman Lear, Co-founder NEXT: Look for an email soon from Michael B. Keegan, President of People For the American Way. |
Yesterday, President Barack Obama joined me out on the campaign trail in Seattle.
I’m grateful that President Obama came to Washington state to show his support for our campaign and help us reach thousands of voters. I wish all of my friends and supporters like you could have been at the big campaign rally we had on the campus of the University of Washington.
It was quite a day! If you weren’t able to join us in person, I hope you’ll check out this video clip of the President’s visit:
While here, President Obama talked about everything that we’re doing to create jobs and fight for hard-working families across our state and across the country.
He also laid out in very clear terms the stakes in this election: whether we’re going to continue to fight for the changes we need to make to get our country back on track, or whether we’ll let our opponents — fueled by tens of millions of dollars from shadowy corporate and right-wing groups — try to buy this election and move us back to the failed policies of the past.
I’m running for re-election to the U.S. Senate because I want to continue to be your voice in Washington, DC — to wake up every day and do everything I can to help people and solve problems.
I’d like to thank President Obama for joining me here in Washington state to help us get our message out -– and I’d like to thank you for your continued support.
Let’s keep fighting hard over these last 11 days for a huge victory on Election Day!
Thank you so much,
Patty Murray
U.S. Senator
P.S. If you have friends or family who may be interested to hear about President Obama’s visit, or learn more about what’s at stake in this election, I hope you’ll forward this email along or click here to share on Facebook. Thanks.
