Samuel --

Earlier this month, we celebrated the 150th anniversary of
the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in America and
helped the country begin to heal in the years following the
Civil War.

The 13th Amendment's ratification, on December 6th, 1865,
set the tone for future progress that has helped minorities
and women gain voting rights, birthright citizenship, and
equal protection under the law. We've seen the hard work of
passionate and dedicated activists lead to the 19th
Amendment, allowing women the right to vote, the Civil
Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and the Supreme Court's
recent ruling that marriage equality is the law of the land.
Decade after decade, we have worked together to define
freedom as promised by our founding principles: Freedom for
you and for me. Freedom for all of us.

Add your name if you're proud of how far we've come and
ready to elect leaders who will keep us moving forward:

We've come so far together, Samuel. But this country's
greatness comes in large part from each generation's
continued effort to pave its own pathway to progress.

And when we lose sight of this progress -- when we use
government to make it harder for folks to vote, more
difficult to gain equal pay, or tough to live in the United
States without fear of persecution -- we fall short of our
own promise and potential.

We've come too far on this journey to fall back now -- so
add your name today to help elect lawmakers who will keep
fighting for progress and opportunity for all:
