We get so much hate mail at Public Citizen.

It seems to be getting worse — perhaps not surprisingly given the increasingly
violent rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his adherents.

Here are just a few examples:

* “You all deserve a bullet.”

* “I would rip you apart limb from limb if given the chance.”

* “We hope and pray you die.”

* “The real patriots will set things straight soon.”

* “I hope Trump ends you all — in the literal sense of the word.”

* “I will kill you without remorse.”

* “What’s really sad is that no one has killed the twisted morons at Public
Citizen.”

* “You should die slowly, in horrible pain.”

* “We will eradicate scum like Public Citizen.”

* “The FBI should lock you up and anyone who supports you.”

* “Get the f*** out of my country.”

* “Your day is coming, sooner than you think.”

That’s all in addition to anti-Semitic remarks directed at me personally, like
“Should have guessed you’re a f---ing Jew.”

While I certainly wish we didn’t have to face comments — and the threats
implicit in them — like these, I do think it’s important to take note of the
vitriol directed at the work you and Public Citizen are doing together.

Of course, we have no intention whatsoever of backing down.

And I’m hoping you can donate today to give us the financial strength we need to
continue standing up to plutocracy and fascism.

P.S. If donating today is not a good fit, I understand. I hope you’ll accept

are doing together.
