Received this e-mail today from Democracy for America in support of Rep. Donna Edwards’ (D. MD) U.S. Senate campaign:
The Maryland Senate race is a battle for the future of the Democratic Party. One of the reasons why DFA has endorsed Congresswoman Donna Edwards in this important election: she has a long and strong record of taking on the NRA. In 2010, her opponent cut a backroom deal with NRA lobbyists to exempt them from campaign finance disclosure rules. As Donna Edwards explains in her powerful new TV ad, she blew the whistle and led progressives in fighting back. Her opposition to the NRA is just one of the many ways in which Donna Edwards is the clear choice for this Senate seat. She stands with working people in Maryland against the rich and the powerful. She will be a progressive champion alongside Elizabeth Warren in the Senate. Unfortunately, her well-funded opponent is spending big to run ads attacking and distorting Donna Edwards and her record. If DFA members can step up now, we can help keep this important ad on TV and help Donna Edwards win. Election Day is just over a week away -- on April 26. We don't have much time left. Chip in $3 or more now to help Donna Edwards keep this ad on the air and continue fighting the NRA!
x YouTube VideoDonna Edwards has a long record of taking on the rich and the powerful -- including the NRA. Unlike her opponent, Donna Edwards doesn't take money from Wall Street banks. Unlike her opponent, Donna Edwards never expressed a willingness to cut Social Security and Medicare. Donna Edwards has been a leader in the fight to fix our broken campaign finance system, including her proposal to amend the Constitution to repeal Citizens United and get big money out of politics. If we are going to build a political revolution and take back our country, we need to elect champions like Donna Edwards to stand with Elizabeth Warren in the Senate. Donna Edwards stood up to the NRA. Now she needs our help to stand up for justice. Chip in $3 or more today to help Donna Edwards keep this amazing new TV ad on the air before the April 26 election. Thank you for stepping up to help Donna Edwards win. - Jim Jim Dean, Chair Democracy for America
