<[link removed]>Friend,



Boeing is the largest aerospace firm in the world, and one of America’s largest employers. They build products that carry millions of people to every corner of the earth every single day.



Boeing executives may believe their first responsibility is to their shareholders, but they are without question accountable for public safety FIRST.



While the headlines we’ve seen this year are certainly alarming, you need to know that this started long before 2024 – as explained in this recent piece from Vox.



<[link removed]>Many Boeing employees and whistleblowers say the problems began with the McDonnell Douglas merger in 1997 – a massive deal sanctioned by Bill Clinton’s FTC.



With that merger came a change in leadership at Boeing, and long-time employees immediately felt the impact. Quality, safety, and sound engineering now took a backseat to profits.



Since that merger, Boeing and other aviation companies have spent over 2 BILLION dollars lobbying Congress and the White House – and made nearly a quarter billion dollars in direct political donations to both Republicans and Democrats – to loosen manufacturing, maintenance, and training regulations.



Consistently, the top recipients of these technically-legal bribes have been the lawmakers directly responsible for Congressional oversight. But the buck truly stops at the White House.



The agencies that loosened manufacturing regulations and allowed companies like Boeing to “police themselves” reported to both Republican and Democratic presidents.



The FAA and NTSB should have brought the hammer down on Boeing the moment the first 737 Max crashed and killed 189 people.



They should have intervened after the second 737 Max crash that killed another 157.



Instead, Boeing bought their way out of trouble by ramping up political spending and running a smear campaign to blame the pilots for the crashes caused by their faulty design.



Five years and now multiple mid-flight incidents later, we’re still relying on consumer pressure and bad publicity to hold Boeing accountable.



EVERYONE who travels by air flies on a Boeing plane at some point in their journey. Millions are boarding a Boeing plane right now, or they’re in the air as we speak. They deserve to know they are safe. They deserve leaders who put public safety over campaign contributions.



They deserve a president who can’t be bought.



I’m running for president to restore the trust in our regulatory agencies that money in politics has violated, and to guarantee that our federal government will always put people and the planet before profits. Can you help me grow this campaign with a contribution of $25, $50, or whatever you can give today?



<[link removed]>DONATE <[link removed]>Neither Republicans nor Democrats will risk their campaign contributions to hold Boeing accountable. It’s up to us.



Help me grow this campaign and we will show the full force of our movement at the polls in November.



In solidarity and gratitude,



Jill
