John, I want to take a moment to talk about freedom. I hope you’ll take a moment to read this, then chip in to help me continue fighting for real freedom across Pennsylvania.

The other side loves to talk a big game about freedom, but what they’re selling isn’t freedom at all.

It’s not freedom to tell women what they are allowed to do with their bodies.

It’s not freedom to tell other people’s children what books they’re allowed to read.

It’s not freedom for them to tell us who you are allowed to marry.

And it sure isn't freedom to say you can go vote, but they get to pick the winner.

That's not freedom. But here in Pennsylvania, we’re fighting for real freedom.

Real freedom comes when you see the potential in a young child and invest in her public school.

Real freedom comes when we invest in that child's neighborhood to make sure it’s safe and healthy so she gets to live to her 18th birthday.

Real freedom comes when we put vocational and technical training in her school and open up her eyes to the possibility of being a welder, send her to a union apprenticeship program, and believe in her so she can start a small business of her own.

Real freedom comes when she and her employees can marry the people they love, worship where they want, and live in a place that respects them for who they are.

That is real freedom. That is our work, that is our challenge, and that is our calling. This is a critical moment, and I hope you’ll join me in the fights ahead. Chip in $5 or whatever you can to continue fighting for real freedom and real opportunity for every Pennsylvanian.

Thanks,

Josh
