John,

[Correction, with The Link! Our email database doesn’t have that great “undo” feature they’ve added to Gmail. Is that great, or what?]

One of the things that's so exhausting about Republican lawmakers is they'll cheat any chance they get. Often, they don't even try to hide it. 

Take Democratic Senator John Tester. Though he represents a red state, he's stood with Democrats on every major vote. He's from a farming family, fits Montana perfectly. So, unable to defeat him three times now, Republicans are cheating. 

From a Montana Public Radio story on a state-senate bill:

Montana Public Radio story

Smaller parties often win some of the anti-incumbent vote, splitting it up. So the state senate passed a bill creating a top-two primary regardless of party. Yet, they only applied this change to one person--John Tester. They specifically targeted the only Democrat elected statewide. In other words: Cheating. 

We can't let them get away with this or we'll lose a great Senator and control of the U.S. Senate. Will you join us in donating to John Tester right now to ensure he runs and wins no matter how much Republicans try to cheat their way to victory?

Thank you for not letting them cheat their way to victory.

Cliff

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
