Protect choice

Friend -- I'm running to be Virginia's next governor so I can create jobs and help grow our economy -- I want every Virginian to have a fair shot at success. But my opponent? Republican candidate Ken Cuccinelli has said his ultimate goal is to "make abortion disappear in America" and that he runs for office because "if you want to end abortion, you have to fill potholes." Tell Ken Cuccinelli that women's health decisions should be between women and their doctors -- without government interference -- add your name to our petition and join my campaign. Ken Cuccinelli's extreme agenda isn't just talk:   -- He supported "personhood" legislation that could have banned common forms of birth control like the pill   -- He pushed medically unnecessary regulations on women's health clinics that have already led one facility to shut its doors   -- And he almost derailed the state budget in an attempt to defund Planned Parenthood! That's a very small sample of his very long record of trying to roll back Virginia women's access to health care. And he's been rewarded for it. The anti-women's health Super PAC Susan B. Anthony List (they're the group that backed candidates like Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock) has thrown millions of dollars behind Cuccinelli's campaign, something they're happy to do since their president said "we don't find people like [Cuccinelli] very often." I'm not afraid of Susan B. Anthony List or the other fringe groups backing Ken Cuccinelli because of his extreme views, because I know that most Virginians share my view that women should make their own healthcare decisions. If you agree too, join my campaign, and tell Ken Cuccinelli that the government has no business interfering with women's health decisions: http://my.democrats.org/Stand-With-VA-Women Thanks for taking a stand for Virginia's women, Terry McAuliffe

Absolutely ridiculous

Friend -- Republicans just raised the stakes on their desperate crusade against Obamacare. This week, they officially tied our economic recovery and the financial stability of the United States to defunding Obamacare. We already knew that Republicans would take any opportunity to rally against this law, which was passed by Congress, signed by the President, and upheld by the Supreme Court. But risking the economic stability of the United States is absolutely ridiculous. We've made too much progress to let them take us backwards. Tell Republicans to stop playing games with Americans' health care and economic well-being today. Look, everyone has a right to their opinion -- they don't like Obamacare, and they've made that clear. But Congress' basic responsibilities include funding the government and paying our bills on time. Republicans are failing on both counts. Add your name, and tell Republicans that you'll hold them accountable if the government shuts down: http://my.democrats.org/Tell-Them-To-Stop Thanks, Mo Mo Elleithee Communications Director Democratic National Committee P.S. -- We put together a video on how Republicans are threatening to shut down the government. Check it out, and share it with others.

SNAP

Friend -- House Republicans are voting today to cut food stamps by $40 billion, which would kick up to 6 million people off the program. I can throw a lot of stats and numbers at you about how terrible that would be, but I think an article from the New York Times a couple weeks ago sums it up best. Here's the part that really got me: As a self-described "true Southern man" -- and reluctant recipient of food stamps -- Dustin Rigsby, a struggling mechanic, hunts deer, doves and squirrels to help feed his family. He shops for grocery bargains, cooks budget-stretching stews and limits himself to one meal a day. ... For the Rigsbys, both 20, the priority is three meals a day for their son, Drake, who is 1. Some months they run out of milk. Mr. Rigsby, who is out of work with a knee injury, recently sold his truck for cash; his wife, Christina, works part time as a clerk at J.C. Penney. On the refrigerator in their sparsely furnished apartment is a calendar marked with the date -- the 6th -- that their card is refreshed. "FOOD!" it declares. "When we got married, we told each other that we want to be able to sit down at the table and eat as a family," Mrs. Rigsby said. "But we don't really get to do that." In Washington, House Republicans propose cutting $40 billion more in food stamps over the next 10 years by imposing work requirements and eliminating waivers for some able-bodied adults. The cuts would push four million to six million low-income people, including millions of "very low-income unemployed parents" who want to work but cannot find jobs, off the rolls, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Those proposed cuts are being voted on today. And we need to stop them. Add your name, and call on Republicans to stop playing games with food stamps: http://my.democrats.org/Protect-SNAP Thanks, Debbie Debbie Wasserman Schultz Chair Democratic National Committee

Some news...

Friend -- I've just been asked to serve as the acting executive director of the Democratic Party by our Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. I'm so excited to work with supporters like you, starting today. Positive changes are happening at Democratic Headquarters every day, and I want to make sure that you're involved. So I have a question for you: why are you a Democrat? I'm a Democrat because this party belongs to everyone -- we operate from the middle-out, not the top-down. That's why I want to know what you think about our party. Take a few minutes to share what issues you think the Democrats should focus on: http://my.democrats.org/Survey Your answers will guide strategy as Democrats across the country gear up for elections in 2013 and 2014. Thanks, Laura Laura Santucci Acting Executive Director Democratic National Committee

Nice to meet you, can't wait to get started

Friend-- I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Mo, and I'm the new communications director for the Democrats. I've spent a lot of time working for leaders with great ideas and great supporters, and I'm ready to have President Obama's (and your) back when Republicans attack policies that improve Americans' lives. But that's not just my job, that's yours too, because this is your party. We're going to be doing a lot of work in the coming weeks and months to fight back against Republican attacks, and I'd love to have your input on how we can best do that. Take a minute to answer a couple questions. Between blocking funding for Obamacare, baselessly discussing impeachment, and letting their true thoughts on women shine through, Republicans have been busy. We need to be busier. Jumping into my new job has reinforced what I already knew: that Democrats around the country are hard at work to improve healthcare, protect voting rights, and reduce gun violence in our communities. But Republicans are fighting back -- hard. We've got a lot of work to do, and I'm glad to be on your team. Weigh in, and let us know what you think: http://my.democrats.org/Survey Looking forward to it, Mo Mo Elleithee Communications Director Democratic National Committee
