John, it’s Brandon Presley with a critical update. Earlier this month was primary night, and now we’re heading into the General Election. It’s game time. 

My opponent is Tate Reeves – the most unpopular Republican governor in the nation, one of the most unpopular governors in the nation and a corrupt politician who prioritizes special interests and his wealthy allies over the hardworking families of Mississippi. If you already know what’s at stake, please chip in a gift of  $5 or whatever you can right now to be split between my campaign and Blue Amp Action.  If not, please read on.

John we’ve got a code red situation on our hands. Reeves and his big-money friends are putting everything they have into this race because they know just how vulnerable he is. Nearly every poll shows this is a neck-and-neck race! And now that the primary is over, Reeves and his big-money allies are laser-focused on keeping Mississippi red. 

They’re desperate to send Tate Reeves back to the governor’s office by any means necessary, and they’ll use every trick in their playbook to do it. I know that, together, we can remove this failed governor, put an end to his corruption, and reclaim power for the people. But to make that happen, we need to go all out. So I’m asking: Will you invest $5 right now before our critical deadline and have your donation split between my campaign and Blue Amp Action?

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.
