Friend,

What do gold bars, an engagement ring, basement carpeting, and Formula 1 tickets have in common? They’re all things that Senator Bob Menendez allegedly received in exchange for helping a halal meat monopoly, granting favors for people from foreign countries, and trying to influence a New Jersey prosecution. And now he’s facing his second distinct bribery trial in seven years as a result of this corruption, and he still has not clearly stated whether or not he’s running for reelection this year.

We know that we email you a lot about corruption, but that’s because of the dangers that it poses to our democracy. In the past few years alone, we’ve seen a President that incited an insurrection and been indicted on dozens of federal charges, a Supreme Court that is facing multiple ethics scandals, and legislators who tried to overturn a free and fair election.

The American people deserve so much better than corrupt politicians who put basement carpeting and a convertible Mercedes above the interests of the people they’re supposed to represent. If you agree that Senator Menendez and other corrupt politicians need to be held accountable, please chip in $10 today and join our fight to root out corruption throughout our government.

Our country is facing nearly unparalleled levels of corruption all the way up to the highest Court in the land. The Court has a horrible track record of having travel paid for by mega-donors, accepting undisclosed gifts, and buddying up with conservative influencers like Leonard Leo. If the Supreme Court, which is supposed to be above this unethical behavior, can be this corrupt, just imagine how quickly corruption can spread through the rest of the government. Senator Menendez is just one of countless examples about the rampant corruption we’re seeing all throughout our politicians.

You know how much of a perilous situation our democracy is in right now, and the corruption we’re seeing in our government is making the situation even more dire. So please, if you’re ready to join us and fight against corruption in all forms, contribute $10 right now. The future of our democracy depends on all of us.

Thank you,
