Democratic Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick seems to be concerned about the possibility of "devastating sequestration cuts."
She also seems concerned about the fact that she's gonna need some cash for the 2014 election, so if you could create and equal concern for the sequester and the re-election effort, then you'll have your priorities in order, supposedly.

-Kyrsten Sinema Uses Sequestration Fears to Raise Cash for Re-Election Campaign
It was just yesterday that our colleague Stephen Lemons reported on Democratic Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema's e-mail to supporters that used the sequester, along with the claim that "Arizona could lose 49,189 jobs," and a plea that you show support for her -- with a $5, $10, or $25 contribution.
To quote the perfect summation by Lemons, "Because no occasion to ask taxpayers for cash should be overlooked."
And, sure enough, the forwarded e-mail hit our inbox from Kirkpatrick, too.
"These reckless cuts are the wrong way to address our budget challenges," the e-mail says. "And while some Members of Congress continue to fight and play partisan games, I am doing everything I can to help stop the cuts and help our communities thrive."
All we read is blah, blah, blah, blah, here's why I really paid for this e-mail blast:
You sent me to Washington to do just that. But the truth is, the GOP is going to do everything it can to defeat me. The NRCC has already listed me as one of its top 7 targets for 2014 - and I am the only woman! The Arizona Republican Party is forming a search committee to find an extremist opponent to run against me. That's why we have to prepare early!
Thursday night marks our February budget deadline. We must act now - we are just a few thousand dollars away from our February goal. Chip in now and help put us over the top.
We simply cannot afford to fall behind. All eyes are on us - please help ensure we have the resources to be strong and prepared at every turn. Chip in now before Thursday's deadline.
Thank you.Sincerely,
Ann Kirkpatrick
