I don’t want to give it too much attention, John, but Trump spoke in Arizona twice last month, including one time with my opponent, Kari Lake, at a rally in Phoenix. 

He laid out his cynical and divisive worldview for the millionth time. He spoke about his extreme, radical, dangerous agenda. And he put us — our campaign — square in the middle of his warpath. He attacked me multiple times, said I "shouldn't even be allowed to run."

But most importantly, he said if he wins in Arizona he wins the presidency. He said it himself: He has to go straight through us to have any chance at winning this November.

But I’ve got a message for him: Show some respect. 

After years of attacking and insulting veterans like John McCain, or Gold Star Parents like the Khans, the fallen of Belleau Wood, even Medal of Honor recipients — show some respect for the military, for veterans, and for our families. 

We’ve got your number, Donald. And we will not let you win. 

This election is going to come down to Trump and Lake versus you and me, John. Can I count on you to have my back as I take the fight to them from now until November? 

If you’re still with me, please, make a split $25 donation with Blue Amp Action and support our work out in Arizona. This will be one of the closest states in the country, and we need everyone on board and doing everything we can to win here.

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.
