John – My name is Harry Dunn and three years ago, I defended the U.S. Capitol and our nation’s leaders against a violent insurrection.

Since that day, I vowed to help ensure that never happens again.

That’s why I’m officially running for Congress in MD-03 to be the change I want to see for our country and our democracy. I’d be honored for you to join me and Blue Amp Action in jump starting this campaign by chipping in a split donation of $25 or anything you can:

BECOME A FOUNDING DONOR: CHIP IN $25 >>

For the last sixteen years, I was a police officer for the United States Capitol where I saw millions of people visit to exercise their rights and lobby their representatives. 

And trust me, every political agenda you can think of walked through those doors. 

It didn’t matter to me if you were there as a Democrat, Republican, or Independent though, because my job was the same - protect our elected officials and ensure everyone could safely participate in our democracy. 

But three years ago, under the Capitol Rotunda that took my breath away each day, I was immersed in a profane mix of sweat, screams, shrieks, anger, death, fear, blood, broken limbs, spit, hatred, horror, racism, bigotry, and heroism for what felt like endless hours alongside fellow officers. 

It was unlike anything we had seen before. Sure, there were heated political moments over the years. But this was different. 

It was pepper spray, bear spray, and even WD-40 to our faces as we fought back rioters in tactical gear using anything they could as a weapon. It was disorienting chaos as we tried to block every entrance while our elected leaders and capitol staff ran to safety. It was a direct attack on our democracy. 

Many people have tried to deny what happened that day – including some of the same people who stood behind us as we protected them. They’ve diluted the story and muddied the facts to preserve their own political agenda. 

So I’ve made it a personal mission to share my story, speak truth to power, and work to ensure this never happens again. That’s why a few weeks ago, I retired from the police force, and why I announced my campaign to run for Congress in Maryland’s Third Congressional District. 

I’m running because Maryland deserves a Congressman who will put the country above their party, and put the constitution above themselves. This will be a competitive race, so I’ve set an ambitious goal to raise $500,000 within the first few weeks of my campaign. Will you chip in to become a Founding Donor and help hit our goal before midnight?

 

Thank you for reading,

Harry Dunn

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. 

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.
