It's Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, and I'm reaching out because, on this day, I'm reminded of how far backward far-right extremists like Ted Cruz have dragged our country.

Consider this, John: When the Roe decision was issued 51 years ago today, our leaders had more respect for the fundamental rights of women than they do today.

When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Ted Cruz called it a "momentous day." He's co-authored his very own national abortion ban bill and has shown time and time again that, as long as he can push his extreme agenda, he'll sacrifice the humanity and basic freedoms of women.

John, I've had enough. We need leaders who will fight for our fundamental rights – leaders like Colin Allred who is running to defeat Ted Cruz and be the leader that Texans desperately need. Please, will you make a donation today to support mine and Colin's campaigns and ensure that Ted Cruz can't continue his crusade against choice? →

The truth is that the far-right won’t just stop at trying to pass a national abortion ban, they’re even coming after contraception and a woman’s right to travel for the health care that she needs. That’s why it’s never been more important to elect strong Democrats like Colin who will fight to defend these personal freedoms.

Ted Cruz only won his last election by 2.6%, and the latest polls show that Colin is statistically tied with Ted Cruz – with 11% of voters still undecided. We have an incredible opportunity to win – but Colin can't do it without you, John.

To keep up the pressure on Ted Cruz and his mega donors, Colin and his team need to raise $45,000 today so that they can knock doors, make phone calls, and reach voters in every corner of Texas. Will you chip in $5 right now so that Colin and I can defeat Ted Cruz and his anti-abortion allies, protect our reproductive rights, and put an end to anti-abortion extremism in Texas? →

Thank you for supporting my friend, Colin.

¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!
