Dear CV Friend,

Bernie Sanders is out.

The coronavirus pandemic stifled any chance of a comeback campaign. And so this morning Bernie told supporters he’s closing up shop.

KEY: Though Sanders will not be the Democratic nominee, his ideas and movement now control the Democratic Party. Abortion on demand, paid for by taxpayers. Socialized healthcare. Radical surrender of American jobs and the economy for the sake of “climate change.” So-called “free college,” and the continued assault on religion and the American family.

But wait. You might be thinking, "I thought Joe Biden was a moderate?"

Nope. Even the liberal Vox has admitted: “In 2020, Joe Biden and the ‘moderates’ are well to Obama’s left.”

Or consider what Biden said TODAY in his statement on Sanders:

“And while Bernie and I may not agree on how we might get there, we agree on the ultimate goal of these issues.”

Translation: Bernie and Biden are wholly united in their vision for our country. While Sanders aimed to put America on a fast track toward socialism, Biden hopes to boil the water just a little slower.

Either way, we’re cooked.

That’s why CV isn’t slowing down. Coronavirus or not, the election is coming...

CV now has full time staff in 5 states, with an army of parish captains and volunteers growing by the day. Just last week nearly 300 more people signed up to help. These teams are tasked with reaching nearly 4 million Catholics with calls, emails, texts, and eventually in-person canvassing -- Catholic-to-Catholic -- to make sure every faithful Catholic voter in America votes this November.

Finally, here’s some fun stuff:

Our research team has looked at Catholic voter turnout over the last 8 years, and the behavior of voters in key battleground states. We now know what states, counties, and precincts will be decisive -- but we also know what PARISHES will likely decide the outcome in November.

We’re serious -- this is no ordinary election. And we have a plan to win.

You helped get us off the ground. But right now we need some more CV rocket fuel.

Please consider chipping in $10 or $20 a month to help us keep it up.
