"...those of us who hold marriage equality near and dear to our hearts and our homes, we know that Joe Biden spoke first." - Arshad Hasan, Executive Director, Progress Now.

In a dramatic moment in our nation's history, the Supreme Court has validated and vindicated decades of legal, physical, and emotional struggle of the marriage equality movement. In a 5-4 decision, the Court ruled that gay and lesbian Americans have a fundamental right to marry.

And we know Joe was there first, as the highest ranking member of any Administration to support marriage equality at the time.

Obamacare yesterday, same sex marriage today. The Administration has won nearly every major battle in Congress and, when challenged, in the Court's. We are again reminded of the crucial role Vice President Joe Biden played on the frontlines of each one, as he has demonstrated that he has the experience, vision, and courage to lead our nation forward.

Will you stand with us as we call for Joe to run for President? This Tuesday at Midnight is our last finance reporting deadline before his August 1 deadline to decide whether or not to run. We need your help to finance this rapidly growing operation and to demonstrate our growing energy and momentum in our finance report. Can you contribute $25, $50, $500, or any amount today?

There is so much is left to be done; climate change, infrastructure, gun safety, immigration reform, education, and international conflict. Vice President Joe Biden is ready for these challenges, and we are ready for him to lead. Are you with us?

Thanks,
Ron Jackson
