John, I have a big favor to ask:

Will you make a split donation of $12 (the price of one of my signature flattop haircuts) to help us reach 50,000 grassroots donations before our mid-month deadline? Montana’s Senate race will be won by a handful of votes, and my team needs even more resources to stand up to the millions of dollars outside groups are throwing my way.

Thousands of folks have chipped in since we launched this campaign. And whether you’ve given $5, $50, or $500, I couldn’t be more grateful to have your support. Your donation helps us show pundits and my opponent that we have grassroots momentum on our side.

Trust me, I know how far a few bucks can go: My flattop haircut costs just $12.

In all seriousness, we’ve got our work cut for us. Outside groups are spending up a storm to defeat me. My multimillionaire opponent has already cut his campaign $2.4 million from his own wallet. And virtually every election expert ranks this race a toss-up. 

It would mean a lot to have your support in this race, because every donation goes a long way. Even $12.

So, will you split $12 or more between my campaign and Blue Amp Action PAC to help us reach our goal so I can bring this race home? We’ve got less than 100 days until the election, so let’s get it done.

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
