Dear Lucas, 
Democrats didn't only win back the White House and elect more than 30 new members to Congress in 2008 - we truly changed the direction in which our country is headed. I know you were a huge part of that movement and I can't thank you enough. Although we've made great strides, our work is far from over.

Polls show a close race - and Robin must keep up with the Republicans' fundraising efforts on Blunt's behalf. Newt Gingrich recently helped raise more than $14 million for Republican Senate and House efforts, and you can bet they'll invest heavily in this race.
Robin is a superb candidate for this seat, so the Republicans will have their work cut out for them. When Robin was re-elected Secretary of State last year, she won more votes than any other candidate in the state's history. Raised in
