John,
I hope you are as well as can be during these challenging times. I know that the COVID-19 pandemic is burdening all of us. Personally, I have transitioned to speaking with my staff via Zoom calls instead of in-person and have started religiously wearing gloves and masks outside the home so as to not endanger my 93-year-old mother who lives with me. This “new normal” surely takes some getting used to.
But despite these stressful times, we have accomplished a lot, John. Here’s a highlight of some of the many recent things we’ve done together:
-
We gathered more than 2,000 signatures calling for President Trump to put a doctor or scientist in charge of his COVID-19 response. As we can see from his nonsense press briefing where he suggested injecting cleaning products as treatment -- this is more critical than ever.
-
We stood up to Gov. Kemp when he made the reckless decision to reopen beaches over the objections of towns and local officials. We stood up to him again when he went against the advice of experts and decided it was time to reopen the entire state of Georgia, which is now happening as we speak.
-
We introduced gun safety reform legislation in Congress that will save lives. The National Rifle Association (NRA) came after me fiercely for proposing this legislation, so you know it must be a good idea (ha!). If you can, will you pitch in to help me stand up to NRA attacks?
-
I voted for the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act that replenished small business loan funds that in many cases were greedily gobbled up by large corporations.
-
We’ve also worked tirelessly to educate folks about COVID-19. Just recently, I had an interview with Rolling Out magazine, where I talked about misinformation about the COVID-19 and health disparities that are hurting the Black community.
John -- None of these accomplishments would be possible without your support and teamwork. And now I’m asking you for one more thing: Will you consider pitching in a small donation to my re-election campaign?
As you may know, each year there are four End-of-Quarter Filing Deadlines where federal campaigns like mine must report all our fundraising and expenditures to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). These are critical periods for us to bring grassroots donations in the door so that our campaign never has to rely on special interests to win. Our last End-Of-Quarter deadline was in March, and we made the tough decision to forgo online fundraising so that we could spend our time and energy educating people about COVID-19 and holding officials like Donald Trump and Gov. Kemp accountable.
Well, John, while I am happy with that decision, we fell pretty far behind and now our back is up against the wall. We have to make up a lot of ground before the end of April (specifically $5,000 through our email program) which is why I am asking you to pitch in a contribution before our End-Of-Month Fundraising Deadline at 11:59 PM EST on April 30th. Will you help?
John, I simply couldn’t do this without you. Thank you for being a part of this fight with me.
In solidarity,
Hank
