John, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:
How could the Green New Deal possibly solve the corona virus crisis? In the spirit of Rahm Emanuel's dictum not to let a crisis go to waste, climate activist Naomi Klein argues that the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and other items on the Left's wish list are "the only reasonable path to get out of this crisis." CRC's Ken Braun examines Klein's "solution" and finds it’s really designed to take advantage of the crisis, not solve it. Read his analysis here.
What surprises does Arabella Advisors plan for the 2020 elections? Building on its massive intervention in the 2018 midterms, the left-wing "dark money" empire run by Arabella Advisors is busy working on this year's election. CRC's Hayden Ludwig examines Arabella's operation and finds an extensive "dark money” network focused on registering Democratic voters and getting them to the polls in November. Expect even more shadowy spending, and see our report here.
Who's attacking the Federalist Society? Members of the Federalist Society -- including its longtime vice president who's advised President Trump on judicial nominees -- believe judges should judge based on the law, not legislate from the bench. Yet this limited view of the judicial role infuriates the Left, which has long abused judicial power to force its agenda on America. Now the Left is using an obscure advisory committee to attack the Federalist Society. CRC president Scott Walter finds the committee's justifications wanting, as he explains here.
What do college students in Venezuela and America have in common? Andrés Guilarte, a former college student in Venezuela, has experienced the failures of Venezuelan socialism firsthand. Arriving in the United States, he noticed American college students increasingly embrace the socialism he fought at home. Now he works hard to warn American college students of the dangers of socialism. Read his interview with CRC's Sarah Lee here.

What Happened in Venezuela Can Happen Anywhere
Andrés Guilarte, a Venezuela native, travels America to call attention to Venezuela's plight and to warn Americans: Don't let it happen here. The biggest threat to the American dream and our liberties is the "socialist dream": free college, free healthcare, free energy, free everything.
In these uncertain times, all of us at CRC hope you and your family stay healthy.
While we continue our research on those who seek to influence public policy, we know that many fellow citizens face difficult economic times. Like you, we believe our American principles, our commitment to free enterprise, and the resilience of the American people will see us through.
As George Washington exhorted Major General Philip Schuyler and the brave colonial troops under his command:
"Animated with the Goodness of our Cause, and the best Wishes of your Countrymen, I am sure you will not let Difficulties not insuperable damp your ardour. Perseverance and Spirit have done Wonders in all ages."
As always, I welcome your thoughts on how we can better serve our mission of exposing the Left's activists and donors. Email me at [email protected], or call me at 202.464.2044.
Best wishes,
Scott Walter, President
