John,

We all know it — Washington is a mess.

Members of Congress trade their relationships for cash to become lobbyists and influence their former colleagues.

Politicians can choose their voters by creating gerrymandered districts.

Anonymous money flows into elections from groups that aren’t required to disclose their donors.

Loopholes allow lawmakers to stay at five-star resorts, buy tickets to events, and fly on private jets.

These are just some of the worst practices in Washington that happen on a daily basis.

But we’re calling out the corruption in our new podcast, Swamp Stories, and telling eye-popping stories about issues like gerrymandering, dark money, leadership PACs, and foreign election interference — and highlighting bipartisan solutions to address these problems and fix our broken political system.

Can you donate $5 today so we can promote our new podcast and call out these swampy practices?

The response to Swamp Stories has been overwhelming. We’ve received tons of positive feedback from listeners across the political spectrum praising how it sheds light on the cash and corruption in Washington, DC.

That’s why we’re launching a national advertising campaign to reach more listeners with our podcast.

Will you give $5 today and help us get more Swamp Stories listeners?

Thanks for your continued support,
