Hi John — I’m Shery, Communications Director here at the California Democratic Party.

I am working around the clock to ensure that our U.S. House candidates in critical tossup districts have the winning message they need to flip their seats and deliver the House of Representatives to Democrats in the fall.

But right now we have the *added* task of responding to all the lies and misinformation coming out of the Republican National Convention. Will you rush a $15 or $35 donation to refill our Fact-Checking Fund right now?

Here’s just some of we’ve heard at the Republican National Convention so far:

➜ Donald Trump spread lies about the 2020 election being stolen, saying: “Keep your eyes open, because these people want to cheat and they do cheat [...] We never want what happened in 2020 to happen again.”

➜ Outright fabrications about Joe Biden’s positive, pro-worker economic record

➜ Radical North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who joked about the attack on House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul, blatantly fibbed about gas prices — which have gone down under Joe Biden.

As you can imagine by just this small sample of lies from last night, our work at the CADEM Communications Department has been intense.

We prepared diligently for the Republican National Convention. We’ve even hired additional digital staff over the past few months to be ready for this moment.

But the simple fact of the matter is that misinformation and lies — especially from Donald Trump — spread like pure wildfire. And that’s why we want to refill and expand our Fact-Checking Fund.

Would you consider making a special donation during the Republican National Convention so we can ensure that lies from Trump and his far-right stooges are debunked in real-time?

On behalf of the entire communications team at the California Democratic Party, thank you!
