-----------------------
Robert --

Todd Akin -- the man who offended just about everyone when 
he made the dead wrong claim that there is a medical difference 
between "legitimate rape" and other instances of rape -- was just 
officially locked in as the GOP opponent for Claire McCaskill's 
Missouri Senate seat.

Today, here's what he had to say about the first woman 
elected to the U.S. Senate from Missouri, after he observed 
that she seemed "aggressive" in Friday's debate:

"[In her 2006 campaign, McCaskill] had a confidence and 
was very much more sort of ladylike."

If you've heard enough, chip in $5 to stop him. The critical 
September fundraising deadline is when Democrats will 
decide if we have the resources to really take on candidates 
like this one -- so it's up to you, right now:

Mr. Akin thinks Missouri's Senator, who serves on the Senate 
Committee on Armed Services, Committee on Commerce, Committee 
on Science and Transportation, Committee on Homeland Security 
and Governmental Affairs, and Special Committee on Aging, is not 
"ladylike" because she wasn't sweet to him in their debate.

"She came out swinging," Akin said, "and I think that's because 
she was threatened."

You're in a position to stop this man from holding office in our 
nation's Senate and to stop him from authoring our laws. You're 
in a position to stand with Senator McCaskill as she enters the 
fight of her life. The September FEC fundraising deadline is in just 
a few days, and that's when we're going to have to make calls 
about how hard Democrats can fight against extreme GOP 
candidates like this.

Donate $5 or more to help Democrats shut this guy down 
and take on the cynical, win-at-any-cost backers funding him:

Todd Akin's crossed the line again and again, and we're the 
ones who are going to tell him that he can't take his ignorance, 
his fanaticism, and anything else he has to say about what's 
ladylike and what's not to our Senate floor.

Thanks for everything you do,
