The following is a press release from the Lisa Madigan campaign.

Dear Friend,
We've been busy the last few months! Lisa's campaign for re-election is gearing up, and we've launched a new version of her website. At lisamadigan.org, you can read about Lisa's superb record as Attorney General, meet some of our great volunteers (or become one) and read what people are saying about Lisa. You can even contribute online !

Lisa has done a lot of good these last three years, and we need your help to get the message out. Lisa's growing reputation as a political leader has attracted the attention of Republican-oriented national interest groups. These folks have a long history of spending heavily to bring an early end to the careers of promising down-ballot Democratic leaders like Lisa. We need your continuing help so that we can be ready for the attacks that will almost surely come in the closing weeks of the campaign.

We're confident, because we're proud of Lisa's record: Lisa pledged to crack down on polluters; her office prevailed in the largest Clean Air Act enforcement case in Illinois history. She led the way in passing legislation that transformed the fight against the spread of methamphetamine. Lisa made dramatic improvements in Illinois' sex offender registry, resulting in record levels of compliance.  She has an outstanding record in protecting the interests of consumers.

As Illinois Attorney General, Lisa Madigan has kept her promise to be the people's lawyer. Donate or sign up to volunteer now, so that we can keep our lawyer where we need her most: in office for another four years. Please help spread the word by forwarding this to your friends and family. Thank you.

Yours truly,
Christopher Dunn
Campaign Manager
