Hi John,

We wanted to make sure you saw Chellie’s message yesterday.

Trump's disastrous budget bill that just passed the House is absolutely devastating. It threatens access to health care for thousands of Mainers, guts Medicaid, and targets Planned Parenthood’s ability to provide critical care — from cancer screenings and birth control to basic checkups and abortion care.

If this bill becomes law, it would be one of the most dangerous attacks on reproductive health and working families we’ve seen in years.

Chellie is doing everything she can to stop it — but she can’t do it alone. Tonight is our end-of-month deadline, and we’re counting on supporters like you to help us fight back.

Will you chip in now to stand with Chellie and ensure she continues fighting in Congress to protect our health care?

Subject: They’re coming after Planned Parenthood again. I won’t let them

John,

This week, I hosted a roundtable discussion with Planned Parenthood in Portland — and I left heartbroken and furious.

House Republicans just passed a brutal budget bill that would slash Medicaid, gut the Affordable Care Act, and strip away $5.2 million in federal funding from Planned Parenthood of Northern New England.

If this becomes law, Mainers across our state — especially in rural communities — will lose access to cancer screenings, primary care, contraception, and more.

Clinics in Portland, Biddeford, Topsham, and Sanford are all at risk. That’s not a talking point. It’s a real threat. And Republicans know exactly what they’re doing: targeting states like Maine where abortion is legal and trying to shut us down.

I won’t let them.

But the only way we stop this is by flipping the House — and we can’t afford to wait. We’re up against billionaires who are stripping healthcare to pay for huge tax cuts for themselves, and I’m counting on grassroots supporters like you to help us fight back.

Will you chip in right now so we can stop these dangerous attacks and take back the House?

This bill wouldn’t just defund Planned Parenthood — it would kick 38,000 Mainers off their health coverage, shutter rural hospitals, and punish vulnerable communities with cruel work requirements and paperwork traps designed to make people fail.

We’re in the fight of our lives: For reproductive freedom, health care access, and our human dignity. I’m not backing down — and I know you won’t either.

Let’s send a message loud and clear: Maine fights back to protect our health care, and we win. Please chip in now before our big end-of-month deadline.

Thank you for everything you do.

All my best,
-Chellie
