Received this e-mail today and it brought a smile to my face:
Six years ago, in an impossible year for progressives, retired Navy Admiral Joe Sestak lost a heartbreaking campaign for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania by two points to Tea Party favorite, Pat Toomey.
Great news though: moments ago, Joe Sestak announced that he's seeking a rematch in 2016, and VoteVets is proud to stand with him.
If the Senate is going to change hands next November, progressives must flip Pennsylvania ... and Joe Sestak is the best choice to lead the way.
It is imperative that Joe Sestak's campaign get off to a strong start today. Help make it happen your $3 contribution to his campaign.

Pat Toomey stood with Senate extremists who held veterans' health care hostage during a time of crisis last year, introducing legislation that would put the Department of Veterans Affairs on a path to privatization, as well. As former President of the Club for Growth, he literally led the fight to privatize Social Security and Medicare.
Retired Admiral Sestak's vision for veterans and working families stands in stark contrast to Senator Toomey's. You can be sure he'll stand up for us on the campaign trail, and in office ... because he's done it his entire career.

Joe Sestak served his country for over thirty years in the United States Navy. He'll make a great leader in the United States Senate.
Thanks for standing with him,
