The Democratic Party
-----------------------
Samuel --

One of the first campaigns I ever worked on was in Colorado against
a woman who thought nothing was more important than preventing
gay people from getting married.

She won that race, and she used her position of power to stand in the
way of marriage equality. But thanks to countless organizers and activists
who have worked over many years to advance LGBTQ rights, I returned
to Colorado last fall to marry my wife.

Elections always have consequences. Progress, if taken for granted, can
be undone.

We're seeing the tragic consequences of last year's election every day.
Over the past seven months, the Trump administration has withdrawn federal
protections for transgender students and argued in court that a landmark civil
rights law doesn't protect gay and lesbian people from discrimination in the
workplace.

And with a tweet last week, Donald Trump launched a new assault on the
LGBTQ community -- a sudden announcement that he would ban transgender
Americans from serving in the military.

We've come too far to let this administration trample on the rights of thousands
of transgender patriots who have chosen to serve our country. So I'm calling on
you to join me in this fight -- add your name and tell Donald Trump to stop this
offensive ban:

Grassroots organizing helped stop the latest Republican effort to take our health
care away. Now, we need to summon that same energy to push back against
Trump's latest discriminatory actions.

Thanks so much for being part of this.
