Dear Ralph/Westerlypost Readers From

New Hampshire is my home. It’s where I hang my hat, write my books, and raise a menagerie of animals.
Right now, it’s also our firewall against a Republican Senate. My friend Jeanne Shaheen is locked in a razor-close contest with Scott Brown, and needs our help NOW to meet her critical $100,000 goal by October 22.
I don’t know which would be worse: watching Scott Brown do to New Hampshire what he did to Massachusetts – back outsourcing and huge tax breaks for Big Oil – or seeing extremist Mitch McConnell become Senate Majority Leader.
And you know what? I don’t want to find out. This is SO urgent that if you contribute bymidnight October 22, you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win lunch with Jeanne and me. If you win, we’ll cover your hotel and airfare – just rush $5 or more now.
Jeanne has been an unstoppable force in the Senate for women’s rights and LGBT equality.
Losing Jeanne – AND our Democratic majority – to Scott Brown is not something Jake, my son Kyle, who’s gay, or I are wiling to risk.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for supporting Jeanne and my beloved New Hampshire. I hope we get to meet very soon.
Sincerely,
Jodi
