<[link removed]>Friend,

The empire is pulling out all the stops to try to derail our campaign. After Biden’s disastrous debate, millions of voters saw that the emperor has no clothes, and started looking for a campaign that shares their vision of a just and livable future.

Nothing scares the political elites more - so it’s no surprise that they’re trying to knock out the leading anti-war, pro-worker, climate action campaign that’s already on the ballot for the majority of voters across the country.

Here’s the empire’s latest assault on democracy:

On Thursday June 27th, the FEC informed us that our campaign had qualified for primary matching funds. Then minutes later, FEC told us the Treasury department will withhold our payments to give priority to general election funding - just in case the Democratic and Republican candidates decide they want it.

Let me explain why that’s so outrageous:

- In 2022, there was over $420 million available for public funding in the Presidential Election Campaign, thanks to taxpayers who check the box on their income tax forms to contribute $3 to the cause.


- On March 22, 2024, Congress raided the Presidential Election Campaign Fund for $375m. This was well after we posted that “qualifying for public matching funds will be a game-changer for our campaign.” According to the FEC, there is now about $17 million left in the fund.


- Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen - a Biden appointee - is now using this manufactured shortfall to withhold matching funds for qualified primary election candidates to “prioritize” hypothetical general election candidates.


- The only candidates who could claim general election funds under the rules are the Democrat - Biden - and the Republican - Trump. But claiming public funds would limit these billion-dollar campaigns to spending the $17m in available public funding, and foregoing all private donations.


- In other words: there’s no way in Hell that Biden or Trump will use public funds, and everyone knows it, but the Biden administration is using that “possibility” to withhold the matching funds we qualified for - until two weeks after the Democratic nominating convention, long after we need the money for our ballot drives. 

It’s a huge tribute to our campaign that the Democrats are declaring all-out war on democracy to stop us, with their army of lawyers to sue us off the ballot, their job postings for campaign infiltrators and spies, and now their assault on public funding.

They are terrified that we're on a roll to challenge empire, oligarchy, and genocide in this election.

So I’m asking you from the bottom of my heart to give whatever you can today to keep our campaign going full speed ahead.  <[link removed]>

The empire is doubling down, so we need to do the same to stay in the fight. This is their last-ditch effort to stop us. If we can get through this together, we’ll be unstoppable.
