Dear Samuel,

Here's a little tip from a guy who used to be a writer:
there's no shame in reaching for a thesaurus when you need
to find just the right word.

So, for example, let's say you're talking about Trumpcare.
You don't have to settle for calling it "bad." You could
call it -- let's see here -- "contemptible," or "despicable,"
or "execrable." Instead of calling it "cruel," you could
jazz it up with a word like "heartless" or "malevolent."

Or let's say you wanted to explain to your friend how
important it is that we not let up the fight, even though
Republicans aren't going to vote on the bill this week. You
could use "critical," or "imperative," or even "vital."

Because it is. Sure, we should celebrate the strength we've
showed this week, but backing down from the fight now would
be a huge mistake. Or, if you prefer, "blunder." Or "goof."

The truth is, you can use whatever words you want --
because when it comes to fighting the far right, it's
not what we say that matters. It's what we do.

When it comes to defeating the Trump agenda and
putting our country back on track, all the fifty-cent
words in the thesaurus don't mean nearly as much as a
$3 (or whatever you can afford) contribution to
help elect Democrats across the country.

Click here to donate, contribute, endow, pitch in --
whatever word works for you. The important thing is
that you take action today to help us stop the far
right!

With gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness,

Al

P.S. -- This fight isn't over. Republicans will be
coming back after the recess with more attacks on
health care -- and more
lies/prevarications/misstatements/whoppers. We need
to stay strong. Click here to donate right now and
help us build our grassroots organization in all 50
states!
