Dear John D,

<http://livableworld.org/r/B/NjAzNDM/NjEyNQ/0/0/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5saXZhYmxld29ybGQub3JnL3N1cHBvcnQvY2FuZGlkYXRlcy9zdXBwb3J0X2tlcnJleV9lbWFpbC8jISMh>[http://www.livableworld.org/elections/2014/candidates/senate/220px-Ed_Markey_Official_Portrait_112th_Congress_2.jpg]<http://livableworld.org/r/B/NjAzNDM/NjEyNQ/0/0/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5saXZhYmxld29ybGQub3JnL3N1cHBvcnQvY2FuZGlkYXRlcy9zdXBwb3J0X2tlcnJleV9lbWFpbC8jISMh><http://livableworld.org/r/B/NjAzNDM/NjEyNQ/0/0/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5saXZhYmxld29ybGQub3JnL3N1cHBvcnQvY2FuZGlkYXRlcy9zdXBwb3J0X2tlcnJleV9lbWFpbC8jISMh>Today, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is holding a hearing on the nomination of Senator John Kerry as the next Secretary of State. Kerry will likely be confirmed quickly, and the special election to fill his Senate seat will begin.

Council for a Livable World has endorsed a remarkable candidate to serve alongside Elizabeth Warren as the next senator from Massachusetts: Representative Edward Markey (D).

Markey has been a key House leader on nuclear weapons issues for decades. From leading the fight for a freeze on new nuclear weapons in the 1980s to his call last year for a $100 billion cut in the nuclear weapons budget, he has been the person to work with on arms control issues in the House of Representatives.

Will you contribute $5, $10 or $25 today to help Ed Markey get his campaign started in the Massachusetts special election?<http://livableworld.org/r/B/NjAzNDQ/NjEyNQ/0/0/aHR0cHM6Ly9saXZhYmxld29ybGQub3JnL3N1cHBvcnQvY2FuZGlkYXRlcy9lbWFya2V5LyMhIyE>

Markey is committed to continue his work in the Senate. He will fight to end production of new nuclear weapons and stem the proliferation of nuclear weapons around the world. He began advocating for an end to all nuclear weapons explosive testing in the 1980s and wants to work for ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty this year.

But to get to the Senate, Markey may face a Democratic primary and then likely confront former Republican Senator Scott Brown, who, despite his defeat by Elizabeth Warren this past November, remains well-known and liked in the state.

Help Ed Markey get a head start in this important election!<http://livableworld.org/r/B/NjAzNDg/NjEyNQ/0/0/aHR0cHM6Ly9saXZhYmxld29ybGQub3JnL3N1cHBvcnQvY2FuZGlkYXRlcy9lbWFya2V5LyMhIyE>

The special election campaign is likely to be short and brutal.

Special interest groups hoping to turn the Senate over the Republicans in 2014 will be swarming to show that Massachusetts will elect a Republican for the second time in three years.

Please consider a contribution to Ed Markey for Senate today.<http://livableworld.org/r/B/NjAzNTE/NjEyNQ/0/0/aHR0cHM6Ly9saXZhYmxld29ybGQub3JnL3N1cHBvcnQvY2FuZGlkYXRlcy9lbWFya2V5LyMhIyE>

You were instrumental in the success of our 2012 election candidates. We hope you will come through again in this first test for 2014.
