Received this e-mail yesterday from War Veteran and U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D. IL) in support of U.S. Senators Bob Casey, Jr. (D. PA) & Chris Murphy’s (D. CT) re-election campaigns:
Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. (D. PA)If I know one thing about my colleagues Senators Bob Casey and Chris Murphy, it’s that they will never be silent in the face of injustice.
They are proud to elevate the voices of the vulnerable and work tirelessly to advocate on behalf of communities both large and small. They believe no family, whether in Pennsylvania or Connecticut, should have to file for medical bankruptcy so that their sick child can get care. Bob and Chris understand that and are determined to make health care more accessible and more affordable.
They are also up for reelection in 2018. The Koch brothers and their allies know this and are willing to spend $400 million over the next year and a half so that they can outspend and oust my hardworking colleagues.
Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D. CT)Bob has stood up to devastating cuts that would worsen the opioid crisis that has already claimed so many lives. When President Trump included in his budget reduced funds for addiction research and treatment, Bob was one of the first Senators to sound the alarm. When Republicans tried to defend their proposed cuts to Medicaid, Bob let them know exactly how they would hurt communities in the throes of the opioid crisis.
Chip in $5 to help Bob’s campaign get ready for 2018.
Chris has been one of the most vocal critics of the Republican health care plan. From day one, Chris had been shining a light on the shady backdoor dealings that Republicans were using to write their bill in secrecy. After refusing to show even their fellow Senators a draft of their plan, Chris marched down to the CBO office himself and tried to hunt down a copy so that Americans wouldn’t be left in the dark.
Chip in $5 to help Chris’s campaign get ready for 2018.
I’m proud to call Bob and Chris my colleagues. We can’t afford to lose them.
Thank you, Tammy
