Washington Post: “Senate Democrats… actually expanded their Senate majority — something basically nobody would have guessed even a year ago.”
You’ve never let up. You refused to quit. And you just did the unthinkable—you not only saved the Senate from a Republican takeover, you increased the Democratic majority!
From the bottom of my heart—thank you.
Many said we had no chance to keep the
Senate, let alone gain seats. But you refused to let Karl Rove bury
Democratic Senate candidates with money. And we did not only what many said was unthinkable— we did what most said was impossible.
We defied the odds and gained two Democratic Senate seats (take a look at the results below):
You elected a record number of women
candidates. You elected our first openly gay Senator. You elected our
first Asian American female Senator. You defeated Todd “legitimate rape”
Akin and Richard “God intended pregnancy from rape” Mourdock.
If Karl Rove thought that millions of
progressives couldn’t stand up to a handful of billionaires—you proved
him so wrong. I am so proud. You did it.
Words can’t express how grateful I am. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Patty
