I want to thank you. For everything.
Though Tuesday night was a difficult election, we had Democrats win hard-fought campaigns because you stood with them every step of the way. And I want you to know how much I appreciate your support.
But we don’t have time to dwell on Tuesday’s results. Speaker Boehner and soon-to-be Majority Leader Mitch McConnell just laid out their Republican agenda in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. And it’s exactly what we feared:
• Repealing the Affordable Care Act
• Repealing rules that rein in corporate polluters and Wall Street excess
• Rewriting the tax code to give more tax breaks to billionaires
I want you to know that I will not stop fighting for the millions of Americans who are receiving affordable, quality health care -- some for the first times in their lives. And I want you to know that I will never stop fighting to put the interests of middle-class families before the corporate special interests.
In other words, I’m not going anywhere. But I can’t do it alone. I need you standing with me and the President.
Sign our note to President Obama letting him know we will fight to protect the progress we’ve made -- and back up his middle-class first agenda.
As striking as what the Republicans included in their agenda is what they left out.
• No mention of equal pay for women
• No mention of raising the minimum wage
• No mention of voting rights
It’s more important than ever that we speak boldly and clearly for the progressive values we share. Only by changing our political environment and broadening the universe of the electorate can we build a strong sense of community and an economy that works for everyone.
If you’re standing with us, I hope you’ll take the time to sign our note today:

Thanks again for all you do.
