People For the American Way has been taking on and turning back the Radical Right for almost 30 years. We’re the people fighting against the Tea Party extremists… fighting against the intolerance of the Religious Right… fighting against the lies, smears and witch hunts of the right-wing media.

I am so glad that we can now count you as a supporter. I am writing today to ask you to take the next step and become a contributing member of People For the American Way.

Please make a generous contribution to help fund our work today and from now on, when people talk about People For the American Way, it will be you they’re talking about.

Our members are our lifeblood and our strength. And with the challenges we face right now — including the challenges posed by the resurgent Right in the upcoming elections — we need all the strength we can muster.

The fundamental principles that America was built on and have made our country great — that’s what we’re fighting for every day.

The freedom to speak, think and worship however you choose, or to choose not to worship at all…

Equality in the eyes of the law regardless of gender, race or who you love…

Courts that provide access to justice for all Americans and protect our civil rights and liberties…

A democracy that’s inclusive and respectful of the voice of ordinary voters, not just powerful corporations with unlimited money…

These are values enshrined in our Constitution and the Bill of Rights… the true American Way.

Please stand with us by becoming a member with a much-needed donation today.

Sincerely,

Michael B. Keegan signature

Michael B. Keegan, President

P.S. In 2008, the National Journal ranked People For the number one “most effective” independent American organization supporting candidates. We mobilized our grassroots members and got voters to the polls in the nation’s most competitive races. This year, the Far Right and their corporate backers from Big Oil, Big Insurance and Wall Street threaten to undo everything we’ve worked for.

Donate and become a PFAW member today. I’ll put your contribution to work immediately standing up to the Right and fighting to protect and advance our shared constitutional values.
