I wish I didn't have to write this, but we are days away from the latest in a long line of Republican attacks on women.

So far this year, Rush Limbaugh called a student women's health advocate a "slut" and Mitt Romney pledged to shut down Planned Parenthood. 

And now Senate Republicans are trying to eliminate the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). House Republicans already voted to end it last month, and now a critical vote will be held in the Senate. 

This vote is expected in only 5 days, and we need your help.

The Republican agenda is intent on defining women as second-class citizens. Twice before, VAWA was reauthorized with widespread, bipartisan support from both houses of Congress. But now, Republicans have grown so radical they won't even commit to protecting women from violence. 

We have to take a stand for VAWA. Join Senate Democrats and EMILY's List -- demand Republicans reauthorize this law.

Thanks for all you do,

Sen. Patty Murray
