every freedom precious

Most Americans think mid-term elections are a big yawn. But you and I know differently.

This year's Congressional elections are an exciting, high-stakes opportunity -- a historic chance for you and your friends to stop the radical right in its tracks.

We've seen what 6 years under President Bush and an anti-choice Congress means for women. We have less access to both birth control and honest information about preventing unintended pregnancy. At the same time, Bush and his allies are doing everything in their power to make it more difficult and dangerous to access abortion care.

Now is the time to get started. We have exactly 6 months to let our friends, neighbors, and colleagues know why they have to act -- and vote -- on their pro-choice values this election cycle. This is our opportunity to turn the anti-choice tide.

You can help take our grassroots message to Chicago, IL and wake up other pro-choice Americans this election season. Download our "5 Reasons Why I'm Voting Pro-Choice in November 2006" flyer and put it up in your workplace and pass it around to your friends.

Go ahead. Wake them up and say you're voting to elect a pro-choice Congress because:

:: We must block potential anti-choice Supreme Court nominees now that Roe v. Wade hangs by just one vote.

:: For more than three years, Bush's FDA has refused to allow the "morning-after" pill - a safe and effective way to prevent unintended pregnancy - to be sold over-the-counter.

:: More than half a billion taxpayer dollars have been spent on ineffective abstinence-only programs since Bush took office.

:: We need the votes to pass the Freedom of Choice Act so that we never have to fight for the right to choose again.

:: With only two years left in his term, Bush will use his anti-choice Congress to pass as many anti-choice bills as he can. This is our chance to stop him (and them)!

With your help, our pro-choice message will be taken to individuals and communities across the country. We'll stir them up, we'll get them talking, and we'll vote pro-choice and win this November!

Thank you for all you do to protect a woman's right to choose.
