I think “Queen” would be more appropriate.

Drew —

Yesterday, Barney Frank announced his retirement after spending over three decades representing the people of Massachusetts in Congress.

Congressman Frank has been a champion for American families and as the country moved forward it has been Barney Frank leading the way.

He is more than a Congressman — he is a voice for the voiceless, a leader for our Caucus, and a lion of the House.

Congress simply will not be the same without him.

But if Republicans have their way, the critical reforms that Chairman Frank put in place to end the days of Wall Street bailouts could also be retired.

We can’t let that happen — we must recapture the Majority in November. But, first we must raise $63,151 more by tomorrow night’s FEC deadline to keep pace with the Republicans.

Thanks,

Rep. Steve Israel
DCCC Chairman
