John,

Huge Victories For Abortion Rights, Voting Rights And Clean Energy! 

We're forced to write often with bad news. So how about some truly amazing results of our working hard, fighting like hell and winning: The Minnesota State Legislature

In 2022, we had a historic midterm, taking over five state legislative chambers while the President was from our party. It hadn't been done in a single state legislative chamber since FDR! In MN, add a Democratic Governor, and we're seeing the kinda change we get when we elect Democrats and remove Republicans from office:

  • Codified Reproductive Rights into state law
  • A Conversion Therapy Ban
  • Created quick Voter Registration
  • Cracked down on intentionally dishonest campaign rhetoric
  • Paid Family Leave
  • Universal Free School breakfast and lunch
  • Emergency rental assistance
  • 100% Clean Energy by 2040

This was the scene as Democrats just passed Family & Medical Leave:

You'll notice it was completely along party lines, because Republicans don't support policies that help regular people anymore. They don't care. 

If we want the DFL (Democratic Party in Minnesota) to keep progressing, we must support them, as a model for Minnesota voters AND voters across the country. As my friend radio host Matt McNeil (AM950 in Minneapolis) said to me when sharing all this, "Don't. be afraid of winning Democrats, it feels REALLY good.

Will you join us in giving the DFL $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can to WIN?

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.
