  <blurb>Dear friends, 

My name is Karin Steinbrueck and my husband Daniel Biss is running for State Representative in Illinois&amp;#39;s 17th District. This has changed our family&amp;#39;s life in significant ways.

People lament that our &amp;quot;private&amp;quot; life has become public, but they don&amp;#39;t discuss how fortunate we are to be engaged with what&amp;#39;s happening in our community. They&amp;#39;re sorry my husband will soon be working far away in Springfield, but don&amp;#39;t talk about how great it is to have a partner working for change.

In the spirit of embracing the public side of our private life, I want to share something with you. Today, at 3:13 a.m., Daniel turned 30. Those of us who have passed this milestone remember how we celebrated (following Moldovan tradition, I threw myself a party). I&amp;#39;m asking you to help Daniel celebrate his.

&lt;b&gt;Please, could you make a birthday-donation of $30 to Daniel&amp;#39;s campaign for State Representative? &lt;/b&gt;Together, our donations shout out: Happy Birthday Daniel!

While we might not catapult him past John Edwards on the front page of ActBlue, we can send him lots of birthday wishes. In fact, let&amp;#39;s set a goal of raising $1,500 during his birthday week.  I already gave Daniel his birthday donation. Can you give him yours now?

Thanks so much! Lastly, while the campaign has changed our family&amp;#39;s life in unimaginable ways, more important are the changes that our political system must see.  Your hard work will make those changes happen.

Please join me in wishing Daniel a very happy 30th birthday!  Thank you!
 
Best,
Karin</blurb>
