John,

Last week was quite an awful week for awful, sloppy autocrat Ron DeSantis.

While Ft. Lauderdale was under water--due to policies worsened by his willful ignorance on climate change--gas lines in numerous areas of the Sunshine State began to form that looked like something out of the oil crisis in the 1970s. Even right-wing soulmate Marco Rubio is complaining and calling for action.

Meanwhile, permitless-carry shootings are also occurring at a frightening pace and DeSantis is ignoring it all because he's a power-craving ghoul who won't leave his book tour to launch a presidential bid. DeSantis did fly back in the dead of night when he hoped nobody was looking, however, to sign a cruel and dangerous abortion ban.

On the latter point, we got the perfect contrast to DeSantis. In response to his evil act signing the abortion ban, Florida Congressman, Maxwell Frost, got up and gave both an inspiring and blistering response.

Frost's only 26, the youngest Congress member. He's the future; part Latino, part Lebanese, part Black, wholly passionate equality and opportunity for all. Frost is what gives the GOP cold sweats in the dark of night: They know from the midterms & WI Supreme Court race they can't beat him--or those like him--in a fair fight.

We need Frost and many more like him to run for public office. To be the face of opposition to greedy, gross DeSantis-ites. For his incredible speech--and for our future--will you give Rep. Maxwell Frost $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can?

Thank you for ensuring our future is democratic. And Democratic.

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.
