This hits home.

In a newly released video, Michelle Steel is laughing over the fact that she pulled one of her daughters out of college, "brainwashed" her, and then sent her to another school simply because her daughter asked why gay marriage is wrong.

If you want to watch the infuriating video, I'm forwarding the email my finance director, Nicole, sent yesterday.

This clip shows just how crucial our election is: it will decide the values our district brings to Congress. It's a battle we simply can't afford to lose. 

That's why I have to ask you right now if you can donate to our campaign?

Seeing my competitor say things like this is deeply upsetting. Not only does she hold these intolerant beliefs, but she's proud enough of them to tell narrow-minded jokes in front of an audience. If voted into Congress, everything points to her acting on these views. 

That's why I'm counting on you to donate to our campaign today. Can you contribute today?

With gratitude,

-- Harley

I am absolutely speechless. Take a look >>

It's hard to know where to start with this video -- but it's nearly impossible to deny that it shows just how deep Michelle Steel's homophobia runs. 
 

I am not okay with the possibility of our future Congressperson being so outwardly homophobic -- and you shouldn't be either. It could jeopardize some of our country's biggest LGBTQ victories. 

That's why I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that Michelle Steel does not take office.

That starts with asking you if you can donate to Harley's campaign right now. Can you do that?

Thanks for taking a stand!

-- Nicole, Finance Director
