from Kirsten Gillibrand, supporting Donna Edwards for Senator

xpost from GD.

Ellen,

I am thrilled to announce my support for Donna Edwards for U.S. Senate in Maryland – and I know that if our grassroots team rallies behind her, she will win.

Electing Donna would mean adding another strong, principled progressive woman to the Senate. And right now, we have an incredible opportunity to make a real, immediate impact for Donna’s campaign: Off The Sidelines will MATCH ALL donations until midnight tonight, up to $10,000, to support Donna Edwards!

Click here to give $5 or more now, and Off The Sidelines will match your gift to support Donna Edwards for U.S. Senate!

If we are going to help Donna win and take back our Senate, here is the first thing you need to know: Donna is a real force for change.

The co-founder and first executive director of the National Network to End Domestic Violence, Donna was critical in securing the passage of the 1994 Violence Against Women Act.

She was the first House member to propose a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and take elections back from corporations.

Donna is a champion in the fight for after-school nutrition programs and protecting women’s reproductive health care.
I know in my core that Donna is the right person to succeed my dear friend and mentor, Sen. Barbara Mikulski. But Donna has a tough primary fight ahead and can only win if this team of progressives rallies behind her now.

That is why Off The Sidelines will match every gift – up to $10,000 – to get Donna off to the strong start she needs to win. The only thing missing now? You.

Join me in this exciting moment by giving now – before midnight – to support Donna Edwards and take back our Senate:

Kirsten
