As Pete sends signals to Super PACs, Elizabeth Warren asks you to [ [link removed] ]chip
in to fund her new ad featuring President Obama and "our 100%
grassroots-funded campaign."

Friend,

We're going to let you in on a little secret:

Pete Buttigieg's campaign, and a few other campaigns in this race, are
being boosted by the support of Super PACs and the bigwig donors who can
donate millions to them.

Here are a few of the ad buys these groups have placed in the early
states:

* An outside group has already spent more than $1,000,000 on TV ads
backing Pete in New Hampshire
* "Unite the Country," a Super PAC supporting Joe Biden, dumped nearly
$5,000,000 into last-minute ads for him in Iowa, and just announced
another $900,000 ad buy in New Hampshire

This type of behavior is exactly what's broken in our politics, and we
won't let it go unnoticed.

On the day Elizabeth announced she was running for president, she
denounced the role of Super PACs and shady outside spending in the
Democratic primary.

[ [link removed] ]If you believe Super PACs and anonymous wealthy donors have no place in
our primary, chip in to fund our 100% grassroots-funded campaign for big,
structural change now, and the PCCC's work electing progressives who will
fight for campaign finance reform.

Here's what makes these new ads even more troubling: It's illegal for
candidates and Super PACs to coordinate strategy with one another.

But we saw this tweet from one of our opponents' senior strategists, and
we wanted to make sure you saw it, because it's a prime example of just
how easy it is for campaigns to exploit our broken campaign finance laws:

[ [link removed] ]This tweet from Michael Halle says 'Pete's military experience and
closing message from Iowa work everywhere especially in Nevada where it's
critical they see this on the air through the caucus.'

That message will be picked up by outside groups working on Pete's behalf.

As you can see, there's a pretty easy way to skirt those rules about
sharing notes between Super PACs and campaigns: by doing it all in public.

Elizabeth is running a campaign that's 100% grassroots funded. She doesn't
accept help from Super PACs — or PACs of any kind — and she doesn't accept
donations from executives of giant agribusinesses, the fossil fuel
industry, big tech companies, or hedge funds. She doesn't host private
closed-door fundraisers where billionaires can beg for more tax breaks or
lax regulations on polluting our environment, either.

That's because Elizabeth is in this fight to create a government that
works for us, not the wealthy and well-connected. That means preventing
wealthy donors from buying this election.

Instead, Elizabeth relies on this grassroots movement, made up of more
than one million people, who contribute their own money to fund this
campaign.

And with millions of dollars now being spent by outside groups in this
primary, she needs your help more than ever. The New Hampshire primary is
less than a week away, and we doubt this is the last we'll see of outside
groups trying to tip the scales.

[ [link removed] ]If you believe that our elected officials should be accountable to the
people, and not secretive donors with their own set of priorities, chip in
to fund our campaign for big, structural change, and the PCCC's work
electing progressives who will fight for campaign finance reform.

Thanks for everything you do,

-- Team Warren

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here: [link removed]
