Fight for African Americans' rights: say No to Lincoln
Senator Blanche Lincoln played a major role in erasing the public option from the health care bill.2 She also opposed President Obama's plans to help struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure3 and to increase funding for college scholarships.4
The election is likely to be very close. Lincoln's opponent in the primary, Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter, is facing millions of dollars in racially charged attack ads from big business groups that want Lincoln staying in office. We're trying to help Halter fight those ads with small donations from our members.
Can you give $5 or more today to help?
