John,

In a little more than a week 13 million Americans may be in serious danger, and we can stop it. 

Some of our biggest midterm victories were in Pennsylvania. Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro. Senator John Fetterman. We even, unexpectedly, took back the state house by a 101-100 margin, creating opportunities to make the lives of 13 million Pennsylvanians better.

Yet, what happens in Pennsylvania doesn't stay there--guns, air & water pollution, economic panics like Silicon Valley Bank, don't recognize state lines. With PA the fifth most populous state, bordering big states such as New York, New Jersey & Ohio, what happens there will help or harm a large percentage of Americans.

That's why, with special elections for two open state house seats in PA on May 16th--ONLY 9 DAYS AWAY--we absolutely can't let Repubicans win.

Remember that 101-100 margin? If the GOP takes both seats they'll have a 102-101 margin, we'll lose the state house and with it any ability to pass good policy on abortion rights, voting, gun safety, climate, LGBTQ rights and much more. It'd be a disaster. A direct attack on our liberty.

Democrat Heather Boyd's been clear that "protecting women's bodily autonomy" is THE reason she's running. Trevor S. Finn's said he'll block permitless carry of guns to protect our children. Both of their GOP opponents will give guns to anyone and ban abortion for everyone. They'll join efforts to attack our democracy.

We can't let this happen, or millions of children, women,  Americans in general, will suffer. Will you join Blue Amp in giving $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can to Heather Boyd & Trevor S. Finn to expand our rights, instead of letting MAGA Republicans force policies on us that nearly ended our republic?

Thank you for fighting this fight everywhere it's required!

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.
