Received this e-mail today from former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in support of Alison Lundergan Grimes' (D. KY) U.S. Senate campaign:
As a mom, a grandmother, a university professor, and the first woman to serve our country as Secretary of State, I have seen how important it is to break down barriers and make a difference in the lives of others. It takes a commitment to public service, a passion for improving lives, and the tenacity to never give up.
In Washington today, we have to elect politicians who will lift all boats at home while strengthening America's standing abroad. We need to hold our leaders accountable to end the gridlock that prevents progress and getting things done.
We have a chance to achieve that goal by supporting Alison Lundergan Grimes. She is a leader who knows the importance of putting people before partisanship.

Alison is one of the brightest young leaders in America, and I am proud to stand with her campaign. She is the only Kentucky candidate to put forward a detailed plan to create jobs and build the middle class. Her policies, like raising the minimum wage and finally achieving equal pay for equal work, will make our country stronger at home and abroad.
Most importantly, Alison is willing to bring Democrats, Republicans and Independents together to solve our country's biggest challenges. That's the kind of leader we desperately need in the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, Alison's opponent, Mitch McConnell, would risk a government shutdown.
I hope you will join me in helping Alison by contributing $5 or more to her campaign today.

Together, with your help, we can continue to make history.
