Jack, it's been a wild couple of weeks since the debate. A lot of Democrats
have a lot of strong feelings about it, but there's one thing we can all agree
on:

Donald Trump is a real danger to our democracy and we must do everything
possible to keep him out of power.

We need to protect our democracy and basic rights by defeating
dictator-wannabe Trump. We can only do that by turning out as many likely
Democratic voters as possible. Donate $5 to our Get Out the Vote efforts.

," Trump would be walking into office with a playbook that could potentially
reshape our government and American institutions in their conservative image.

The first step to Project 2025 is to install Trump loyalists in federal
positions of power. Once that's done, they could implement their conservative
vision for the country, including but not limited to:

* Once and for all, they would destroy our reproductive rights with a
national abortions ban, rescinding the FDA approval of abortion medication like
mifepristone, and limiting access to birth control.


* Reversing any progress made to combat climate change. Project 2025
explicitly says that the government has an “obligation to develop vast oil and
gas and coal resources,” and calls for ending “the focus on the climate crisis
and green subsidies.”


* Immigration policy like that of Texas, but on steroids and on a national
level.


* Handouts and tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations—coming at the
expense of the rest of us. Not to mention major cuts to the IRS operating
budget.

We know from Trump's first term that he relied heavily on the ideas and
tactics from the Heritage Foundation to shape his agenda. He even nominated
three new Supreme Court justices from the Heritage Foundation short list of
conservative judicial candidates.

Speaking of the Supreme Court, thanks to the recent SCOTUS decision to grant
sweeping immunity to presidents, Trump will have no real guardrails as he works
to enact this frightening agenda.

Oh wait, it gets worse. If Republicans hold onto control of the House and
gain the majority in the Senate, there will be no checks and balances
safeguarding us from their attack on our freedoms, liberties, and democracy.

This isn't meant to scare you, but it should. Our only chance to stop all of
this is at the ballot box in November. That means we NEED to get out every
possible Democratic voter in November—and we need your help right now.

Unfortunately, Daily Kos has fewer financial resources as we dive into the
2024 elections and our Get Out the Vote campaign is not cheap. We are
estimating that between the technology costs, staff time, and the expense of
recruiting volunteers, our GOTV efforts will cost us nearly $200,000.
