I won't lie, John — I’m stressed out.

My finance director just told me that, not only have donations slowed down, but we’re still way behind on our end-of-month goal. My first thought was what!? My second thought was that I should send you a message.

Before I get into the nitty-gritty of it, will you chip in a split donation between my campaign and Blue Amp Action ahead of our deadline? Your donation will fuel my grassroots campaign and help ensure we have the resources to win in November. 

Even if it’s just the spare change from your dresser, donations of any amount go a long way in a campaign like ours.

I don’t take orders from super PACs or special interests, and I’m damn proud of it. I take my cues from the hardworking folks of Montana, and that’ll never change.

But since we rely entirely on your support, fundraising can be a big undertaking.

I need your help to stop Mitch McConnell and his wealthy friends from buying this election wholesale, so please:

Rush a split donation of any amount between our campaign and Blue Amp Action so we can meet our end-of-month goal and compete with the GOP money machine:

Thanks for everything,

Jon Tester

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.
