Dear Friend,
Since 2009, I have been working slowly and steadily with our visionary team at No Labels to create the kind of movement that America desperately needs. A movement that threads the needle. A movement that solves problems. A movement with common sense.
Today as I speak there are sinister forces at work ([link removed] ) getting up every day trying to figure out how to stop our effort to provide more choices for the American people for the 2024 presidential election. They want to fool you into thinking that more choice is the problem, but I know you are smarter than that. I believe in the American people. You can’t be fooled.
I am so thrilled to share with you our next move in #defendingdemocracy.
As reported today by the Associated Press ([link removed] ) , we are launching the Ballot Integrity Project and former Missouri Governor Jay Nixon – a Democrat who has been a leader in Missouri for 30 years – will lead the project as its very first director. He will work closely with Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., No Labels co-chair and civil rights icon, to defend our quest to secure ballot access in states nationwide.
How did we get here?
I have long known politics in the nation’s capital. I have long known it can get very nasty and ugly when those in the political establishment feel like their power and control is being threatened. They resort to smears, bullying and harassment to destroy anyone who they see as a threat to their power and control.
Still, I was shocked when the political machine decided to come after us in recent months -- shocked by their dirty tricks and backroom wheeling-and-dealing ([link removed] ) . Their appalling disinformation campaign against No Labels was not only an affront to you and me but an affront to our cherished democracy.
Friends, there was someone else who was watching these dirty tricks unfold.
And, this past week, I got a phone call out of the blue.
“Nancy, this is former Missouri Governor Jay Nixon calling,” he said. “I’m outraged.”
Former Governor Nixon – a Democrat who served the good people of Missouri for three decades as a state senator, attorney general and then governor – couldn't believe what he was witnessing unfold before his very eyes: political leaders whom he has known for years from his home state, like former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and former Senator Claire McCaskill, had joined an antidemocratic campaign, led by special interest groups like MoveOn.org, Third Way, and the Lincoln Project.
These were leaders and organizations that have long held themselves up as champions of “voter empowerment,” “electoral integrity” and “civil rights.”
And they had now joined forces against the voices and choices of voters.
Struck by the hypocrisy, I told former Governor Nixon: “It’s like we’re living in the upside-down world of Alice in Wonderland.”
Why had they assembled against us?
To protect their power and control.
Former Governor Nixon said to me: “Sign me up to do whatever I can to help No Labels.”
And sign him up we did. Please join us this Tuesday ([link removed] ) , August 1, at 5 p.m. ET, as former Governor Larry Hogan, No Labels Co-Chair, hosts a town hall in which former Governor Nixon will speak directly to you about how he will be a guardian for democracy.

I know we are on the correct side of history. The heavens brought us you – and they brought us former Governor Nixon.
To victory,
