Tucson Observer: A Message From A Great Man and Supporter of the Community

A lot has been made over the last couple of weeks about gender and politics. I'm here to tell you that standing up for women's issues is not about sending just any woman to Washington -- no matter what the right-wing is trying to sell America.

No, it's about electing candidates who are fighting for issues that truly matter to women. It's about protecting a woman's right to choose. It's about education. It's about health care. And it's about protecting our families both at home and abroad.

I need your help today to elect three great female candidates for the U.S. House, who are fighting on the issues that matter to Americans: Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-8), Dina Titus (NV-3), and Judy Baker (MO-9). Contribute to Gabrielle, Dina, and Judy today!

Gabrielle Giffords

Gabrielle Giffords is a first term Congresswoman running for re-election in Arizona's 8th Congressional District. Gabrielle's business experience has made her an effective leader, successfully pushing 7 bills and amendments into law while introducing over 20 pieces of legislation in the House. Her priorities include expanding health care for American families and promoting alternative energy research and development.

Gabrielle's a rising star in our Party, and we must keep her seat in Congress. But her race is one of the most competitive in the country, and she needs our help. The right-wing is pouring in national resources in an attempt to take back this seat. In fact, George W. Bush visited Arizona to campaign for her opponent earlier this summer, raising half a million dollars.

Help Gabrielle fight back against the likes of George W. Bush. Contribute to her campaign today!

Dina Titus

Dina has worked tirelessly on behalf of Nevada's most vulnerable citizens by promoting legislation that allows seniors and other Nevadans to purchase less expensive prescription drugs from Canada, mandates tougher penalties for criminals who commit identity theft, and increases penalties for offenders who perpetrate crimes against the disabled.

Her opponent, Jon Porter, has spent the last six years fighting for the Washington special interests. That's why he doesn't want to run on the issues and is up with the first negative ad in the race. I am asking you to join me and help Dina fight back.

Help Dina fight back against the negative attacks. Contribute to her campaign today!

Judy Baker is running in Missouri's 9th Congressional District.

Judy Baker

It's a tough district with a partisan voting index of R+7, but her first poll shows her two points ahead of her opponent. This is exactly the kind of race the WesPAC community has made our specialty. We don't back down from the tough fights, and this is one of them.

Judy's experience saving rural health clinics and operating her own small business has made her a strong leader in the state legislature, where she has advocated for education and health care access. She stood up to the Republican governor's plan to cut 200,000 children and seniors off of Medicaid and voted to cut her own benefits instead.

The polls show Judy within striking distance of Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer. We need to help her make up the difference. Please contribute to Judy's campaign today!
