Received this fundraising e-mail from State Rep. Brian Sims (D. PA), the only openly gay member of the Pennsylvania State Legislature, in support of fellow LGBT champ Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz (D. PA-13) in support of her gubernatorial bid to unseat homophobic Governor Tom Corbett (R. PA) next year:
I am proud to call Allyson Schwartz my friend. She's been at the forefront of so many important issues for years -- that's why I was so excited when she told me that she was going to run for Governor of Pennsylvania.
Congresswoman Schwartz has been a fighter as long as I've known her. She's taken on many discriminatory laws, including Pennsylvania's DOMA when she was a state senator in the mid-1990's. Even when there were few allies, Allyson made sure to stand up for what is right. Now, Allyson is facing a big deadline in just a few days. The end of the quarter is always a big deal for campaigns, but Allyson's deadline is even more vital because her race was recently named as one to watch by the Washington Post.
All eyes will be on her campaign and it will be on us to determine if she is able to compete against Corbett and his money machine. Can you click here and rush a contribution to her campaign now?

Governor Corbett is wrong for Pennsylvania. He has failed to lead and when he has led, he denied healthcare to thousands of Pennsylvanians, and tried to gain favor with the GOP's mega donors. That is why the deadline that Allyson is facing on the 30th is so vital.
