The stakes of the November 5th midterm elections are profound -
and the time to influence them is NOW.

For the first time since 1929, the right wing of the Republican
Party might achieve effective control of all three branches of
the federal government. A handful of seats will decide which
party - and values - control the U.S. Senate...and most
importantly, the process of confirming lifetime appointments to
the U.S. Supreme Court.

Right-wing Republicans control the White House and the House of
Representatives. Only the Senate has provided a check to the far
right, which is just one vote away from replacing Tom Daschle
with Trent Lott, Patrick Leahy with Orrin Hatch, and making
similarly disturbing leadership changes across the board.

People For the American Way believes everyone should be aware
of what is at stake this November. That's why we have produced a
hard-hitting television ad making the case for the checks and
balances that a divided government provides and pointing out the
consequences of complete right-wing control of our government.

Just a SINGLE SEAT could give the right wing enormous control
over the Senate and the process of confirming the next nominees
to the Supreme Court. A Supreme Court dominated by right-wing
justices would have a devastating impact on reproductive rights
and privacy, environmental protection, civil rights, Social
Security and Medicare, corporate accountability, health care,
religious liberty, public education, worker rights, and more.
And this impact would be felt for generations.

STATES WHERE THE SENATE RACES ARE TOSS-UPS...AND PASS THIS E-
MAIL ON!
