Received this e-mail today from Senator Elizabeth Warren (D. MA) and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee in support of Congressman Ed Markey (D. MA) who is running against businessman Gabriel Gomez (R. MA) in the 2013 special election to fill Secretary of State John kerry's (D. MA) Senate seat:
We’ve seen where the Republicans want to take our country, and it isn’t pretty. That’s why we need to elect progressive leaders -- people with courage, with heart, and with a real commitment to the common good.
I’m proud to endorse Ed Markey, my friend and the newly-elected Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate here in Massachusetts.
A new poll shows Ed with a narrow 4% lead over his Republican opponent. Powerful interests are already lining up to help Republicans win this seat, and we have less than 8 weeks until Election Day.
Ed Markey needs the strong support of PCCC members like you right now. Please donate $3 to give me a strong partner in the Senate:

I’ve worked with Ed, and I’ve seen him in action.
He is a fighter for the environment, for women, for seniors, for unions, and for working families.
He has joined with the PCCC promising to vote against any cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security benefits. He believes in cutting the deficit by making millionaires, billionaires, and corporations pay their fair share -- NOT targeting seniors and those who are most vulnerable.
Ed will fight by my side for real Wall Street accountability -- to end “Too Big to Fail” and “Too Big to Jail” once and for all.
We can’t take anything for granted in the June special election. Please donate $3 to give me a progressive partner in the Senate:

Together, PCCC members made 574,570 calls and donated more than $1.17 million to my campaign. Your grassroots activism is changing our democracy for the better.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
-- Elizabeth Warren
