Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D. NY) in support of State Senator Wendy Davis' (D. TX) gubernatorial campaign:
I had to let you know: The governor’s race in Texas has taken a disturbing turn.
Republican candidate and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott campaigned last night with Ted Nugent – a rocker turned Republican activist once investigated by the Secret Service for remarks about President Obama. Nugent's dangerous views include calling for treating immigrants to America like “indentured servants" and has bragged about taking advantage of underage girls.
If this is the company Abbott keeps, he is not fit to be governor. Nugent is disrespectful to Texans and Americans everywhere, and Abbott’s decision to campaign with him is telling – and disgraceful.
Join me – now – and let’s make sure Wendy has what she needs to win. Give as much as you can directly to Wendy’s campaign to help her raise $18,500 by midnight.

Nugent said Wendy “hasn’t got anything meaningful to campaign on.” Is he kidding?
Wendy’s running to protect women, expand opportunity and provide all our children an opportunity to get a great education.
It is up to us to make sure Wendy has what she needs to defeat Abbott and his radical allies. We cannot let a champion like Wendy be demeaned this way. We cannot allow someone with the kind of poor judgment Abbott has displayed here to govern one of our largest states.
We need to help Wendy now.
Give directly to Wendy’s campaign right away so she can raise $18,500 by midnight and defend her record.

Thank you for always being so generous with your support,
Kirsten
