Heroes
When you hear the cough of someone in New York caused by toxic dust from September 11, everyone knows it. These are the people that rushed to the scene to help any way they could, and because of their heroic actions, too many of them are now sick or even dying.
After political back-and-forth, we finally passed a bill in the House to pay for the healthcare these people need. Now we need the Senate to do the same thing. We have an obligation to step up for these Americans the way they stepped up for us.
I’m asking you to do one thing: sign my petition to put pressure on the Senate to pass our House bill quickly. We can’t let first responders go another day without the healthcare they deserve.
The House’s passage was a long-awaited first step towards getting heroic Americans the care and support they undeniably deserve. Now, we need to make sure it sees the light of day in the Senate.
We’ve seen the Senate become a final resting place for too many good bills recently, and we need to band together to make sure this bill becomes law.
After nearly a decade passed, the House did the right thing — but it’s not enough. We need the Senate to pass this crucial legislation to provide treatment to over 71,000 people exposed to dangerous toxins on the scene.
Thanks,
Anthony

RE: The Choice
I need you to make a choice today — a choice to help finish what we started together.
Voters go to the polls just three weeks from today. If we let up now, we’ll wake up on Election Day wishing we did more to fight back against the tea party mob and their corporate special interest backers.
That’s why I am writing with a very specific ask today — to own a piece of this campaign. If you could give $28 today, it would cover a grassroots organizing kit for one volunteer, if you gave $35, it covers an actual radio ad in one of our too-close-to-call districts, and $144 covers the cost per point of television in another tough district for us.
We are in 75 make-or-break districts and with 8 more states starting early voting this week, we must raise an additional $500,000.
Please rush an urgent gift today before Friday’s deadline to wire money to campaigns.
Together, we can be the difference between victory and defeat on Election Day.
Onward to Victory,
Jon Vogel

Denounce Republican Sexism …

A Republican operative in Ohio actually said take Democratic Congresswoman Betty Sutton out of the House and put her back in the kitchen. This comes not long after House Republicans said that Speaker Pelosi should be put in her place. GOP Sexism like this needs our strong response.
Denounce Republican sexism. Sign the petition below telling Republicans that a woman’s place is in the House of Representatives:

a message from Mitch Stewart
The path this country takes after November 2nd will be determined by what we do over the next 22 days.
That’s the message the President is delivering on the stump across the country, but he’ll be the first to tell you: he needs you at his side.
We want to thank and recognize the people who are driving this grassroots campaign — organizing house meetings, talking to voters, and funding this effort one small donation at a time.
The extreme candidates on the other side aren’t just intent on bringing our progress to a halt, they want to take us backward, well beyond the failed policies of the last administration.
They envision an America where Social Security is privatized and left to the whims of the market. They picture an America where education programs get cut to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. And they look forward to an America where the insurance companies once again have the right to deny coverage to anyone they want.
This election is about choosing the direction this country takes.
On one side is the millions from undisclosed donors attacking our candidates. On the other is us. And each and every one of us who is committed to this struggle for change has a role to play.
That’s why we all need to be knocking on doors, making phone calls, and spreading the word from here through Election Day. The President is doing all he can, and he’s counting on all of us to take that next step today.
