John,

We have a chance this year to rid ourselves of another awful Republican Governor and elect a rock star...

You may know Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves from his "greatest" hits of a massive public corruption scandal and refusal to accept Medicaid dollars--which has worsened his constituents' health, and, let's be honest, killed some of them.

There's also been the water crisis in Jackson, with residents unable to access clean running waterand the fact that Reeves is even hated by his own party, so much so that the Speaker of the State House, Philip Gunn, is openly talking about taking him on in a primary. From Mississippi Today:

But the best news of all? Our rock star, Public Service Commissioner of the Northern District of Mississippi, Brandon Presley, is thinking of running. He's helped rural Mississipians get broadband and taken on corporations to keep utility rates low.

Oh, and did we tell you his name's Presley? Yeah, as in, that guy. Ok so he's not a rock star himself, but a second cousin to Elvis Presley. In the name recognition and positive feelings department in MI, he may as well be the rock star himself.

So will you join us in giving $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can to return Tate Reeves to sender, so Mississippi can't help falling in love with Brandon Presley?

Mississippi, and America, deserve better than the loathsome Tate Reeves.

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.
