Hi John, it’s Alexander Vindman. I’m reaching out with an urgent request: If that’s all you need to hear, then please use this link to donate directly: secure.actblue.com/donate/[email protected] Otherwise, please give me two minutes to explain why your donation today is crucial. Some of you may already know Eugene’s and my stories. But give me a moment to refresh your memory: In 2019, Eugene and I found ourselves in an unprecedented situation. I overheard a shocking phone call between then-President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I listened to Trump pressure Zelenskyy to investigate Joe Biden, using U.S. military aid as leverage. It was an abuse of power I couldn’t ignore. I turned to my brother Eugene, the ethics attorney at the NSC. Together, we blew the whistle on Trump’s corrupt phone call and reported it up the chain of command. Eventually, I testified before a closed session of the House Intelligence Committee.
The man leading that committee was none other than Rep. Adam Schiff. Adam's commitment to integrity and his fearless leadership resulted in the first bipartisan vote in a Senate impeachment trial to convict a U.S. president. All three of us — Eugene, Adam, and I — did what we could to bring the truth to light. But it did not come without consequences. Trump retaliated, ending Eugene’s military career and mine. And since then, Trump, the Republican Party, and right-wing media have targeted Adam Schiff relentlessly, attempting to discredit and remove him from Congress simply because he upheld the rule of law. But Trump and the GOP cannot stop the pro-democracy movement Eugene and Adam are building. We NEED leaders like Eugene and Adam in the House and Senate fighting to defend our democracy, and they know it. However, it won’t be easy. Eugene and Adam both face a critical end-of-quarter FEC fundraising deadline this Sunday, where they are legally required to report their fundraising data. Trump and his MAGA GOP allies will be watching to see just how strong our movements are, and we cannot afford to show an ounce of weakness.

Thank you for standing with us in this pivotal moment. Together, we can safeguard our democracy. Lt. Col. (Retired) Alexander Vindman
