John,

I thought my days of putting people on the ground were over when I left the NFL. Then January 6th happened.

I was on the House floor when rioters breached the Capitol, and I remember hearing the glass break and the shouts coming closer.

As they pounded on the doors, I texted my wife Aly, who was seven months pregnant with our second son: “Whatever happens, I love you.” 

I took off my jacket and got ready to fight anyone who came through the door. Thankfully, it never came to that.

And while I was barricaded on the House floor with my colleagues and our gas masks in hand, Ted Cruz – who had cheered on the mob earlier that day – hid in a supply closet. 

Ted Cruz’s false claims about the 2020 election helped incite the insurrection. That's Ted for you: All hat, no cattle.

That day is one of many, many reasons I know Ted Cruz has got to go. People lost their lives, and our government came the closest it ever has to crumbling. His MAGA extremism is bad for Texas and our country, and it’s time to hold him accountable.

I’m running to replace Ted Cruz and give Texans the senator we deserve, and I hope you’ll help me do it, John. Will you donate now to me and Blue Amp Actin to help build our grassroots movement and defeat Ted Cruz once and for all? Any amount you can spare is truly appreciated.

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.
