I'm all in for Tammy

We often hear pundits and politicians talk about sacrifice. Too often, it’s hollow rhetoric, quickly forgotten when the cameras are turned off.

Tammy Duckworth is different. That's why I'm asking you to donate $10, $25 or $40 right now to help put her in Congress.

By now, most of us know about Tammy’s selfless actions in combat that cost her both of her legs and limited the use of her right arm - earning her a Purple Heart. And many of us know about her service in the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she implemented innovative new policies to better serve our Vets.

But Tammy’s story of sacrifice begins at a much younger age. When her father lost his job, their family struggled like many others do today. When Tammy was a teenager, the Duckworth family had to go on food stamps and she would save her milk from school so her brother would have some decent nutrition.

Tammy understands what families are going through because she has lived it. She’s proven she can get things done – as a Soldier, as an advocate for Veterans and as a voice for those with disabilities.

I just left a packed room of people who helped raise over $75,000 for Tammy's campaign. Now it's your turn.

Will you join me by donating $10, $25 or $40 right now to put a true inspiration in Congress?

Thanks,

P.S. Tammy is running for the seat now held by Joe Walsh, a man who spends more time auditioning for talk radio than he does representing people in the district. I can't think of a more clear contrast between Tammy, who has served our country so nobly, and Joe Walsh, who’s more interested in rigid ideology and reckless political antics than public service. No race in the country would be more symbolic of the change we need in Washington than this one.
