Dear John,

There's a lot to be mad about these days: the weather is too hot, the economy isn't getting better fast enough, and don't get me started on the oil spill!

So I understand why people are angry.  But I'm also concerned that some people are so angry they want to purge our government and start over.  We can't allow those who are working hard to get the right things done get swept away.

Time and again, Kirsten Gillibrand has stood up to the gridlock and demanded action.  She's been a leader on everything from women's rights to health care reform, from "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to holding BP accountable.

I watch the Senate every day, and I know Kirsten is a valuable resource we can't afford to lose.  So please stand with me and support Kirsten by contributing to her campaign today.  She's running against two self-funders willing to spend millions of their own money to win.  She must reach her goal of raising $150,000 before June 30 so she can keep her edge.

Republicans are trying to capitalize on people's discontent, just as they did in Massachusetts.  They think that if they throw enough money at this race, and bombard people with enough negative advertising, they'll be able to grab this Senate seat from the Democrats.

But the last thing we need is one of Kirsten's opponents to win and vote against our interests - and our values!  We've got to keep Kirsten in the Senate, where she's working hard, speaking out, and looking out for the interests of New Yorkers.

This election is just five months away, so we're running out of time.  Kirsten has got to keep meeting her fundraising goals if she hopes to beat her well-funded opponents.  Please contribute today so she can raise $150,000 by the June 30 deadline.

We can't let a negative national mood - and negative political tactics - deprive us of one of our ablest leaders.  Let's do our part to keep Kirsten in the U.S. Senate, so she can go on working for us. 

Sincerely,

Ann F. Lewis
