Colleen: a grand jury has indicted two of the videos’ creators.

Friend,

Republicans can’t resist putting women’s private medical decisions front-and-center in our national discourse. So when they saw a deceptively edited Planned Parenthood video last September, we all could have predicted what would happen.

Republicans used those videos to justify attempts to withhold Planned Parenthood’s funding and tie up budget talks. They almost brought our government to a screeching halt.

Now, after clearing Planned Parenthood of any wrongdoing, a grand jury has indicted two of the videos’ creators. They’re facing misdemeanor and felony charges.

I’m fighting to get to Congress to protect women’s access to healthcare against extremists who will stop at nothing to take it away. Can you help me get there by giving $5 or $10?

The video creators were part of a right-wing, anti-choice group that spent years concocting an elaborate scheme -- complete with a fake company, fake IDs, and fake stories to bait Planned Parenthood employees.

Needless to say, they couldn’t do it, because Planned Parenthood doesn’t break the law. But that didn’t stop my opponent from casting his vote in favor to defund Planned Parenthood.

We need lawmakers in Congress who aren’t willing to shut down the entire government over lies. And we definitely need lawmakers who will stand up for women and make sure their health and privacy aren’t used as partisan pawns.

I’m ready to be a strong voice for women in Washington, but I need your help to get there. Can you give $5 to help us reach our January goal? Let’s start this Election Year off right.

Thank you.
