Robert,
Every couple of weeks, it seems like the pundits and reporters change their mind about whether Democrats will retain our Senate majority -- something's always either a dire threat or a sure guarantee of success.
But no matter how many people sign up for Obamacare or how many times the hard right forces an economy-damaging shutdown, the voters in any given race will be voting for an individual candidate on their ballot -- and that means the only true path to preserving our majority will be supporting key candidates in important races.
One of the most important candidates to support right now is Jeanne Shaheen, the Democratic senator running for reelection in New Hampshire.
Massachusetts tea party favorite Scott Brown, whom we just helped Elizabeth Warren defeat last year, has made 12 visits to New Hampshire this year and registered a political committee there. If Jeanne shows strong grassroots support on her next quarterly financial report, it could keep Brown out of the race entirely -- but the deadline to count contributions toward that report is at the end of this month.
Contribute $5 or more to Jeanne Shaheen today to help show her strong grassroots support on her financial disclosure at the end of the month.
Jeanne is a champion for women's rights. She has led efforts to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act and fought for equal pay for equal work.
She introduced legislation that would make additional benefits, including health care and certain survivor benefits, available to military spouses and families regardless of their sexual orientation. And she is the author of bipartisan legislation to create a national energy efficiency policy, the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act.
If Jeanne doesn't win, we'll not only lose this crucial leader -- we'll also be stuck with Scott Brown and his Big Oil agenda or another opponent and his push to overturn Roe v. Wade. And either one of them will vote against every judge, justice, ambassador, and administration appointment President Obama makes.
It's up to us to help Jeanne win reelection and preserve our Democratic Senate majority.
Help Jeanne Shaheen win reelection in New Hampshire and preserve Democrats' Senate majority. Contribute $5 or more today.
Thank you for your support,
Chuck Schumer
