 John,

I’m excited to tune in to tonight’s presidential debate to cheer on my close friend Kamala Harris!

Speaking of Kamala, did you know we go way back?

But if you’re in a hurry, or you’ve already heard this story before, please consider donating $25 split between my campaign and Blue Amp Action to defend our majority, keep Maryland blue, and give Kamala the backing she needs in the Senate on Day 1!

Kamala Harris has been a mentor and friend for more than 14 years, and I often even refer to her as “my quintessential big sister,” because she always shows up for me when I need her.

In fact, when I first won my race to become Prince George’s County Executive, one of the first calls I received was from her.

I’d like to share one piece of advice that she shared with me: More important than being first at something is to make sure you are not the last.

And now that we’re standing on the precipice of electing our country’s first woman president, that advice feels more appropriate than ever.

This whole election cycle boils down to this, John: Will our country be dragged backward, reverting to an era of fear, overreach, and fewer rights?

Or will we come together, build a winning, vibrant coalition of supporters who recognize that we’re stronger, and better, when we come together as a country and embrace progress?

That’s why we need to win BOTH the White House and the Senate in November, but it’s going to take the biggest, broadest grassroots movement our state has ever seen, so we’re going to need a lot of resources. Which is why I’m asking: Can you pitch in a split donation of $25 between my campaign and Blue Amp Action to keep Maryland blue and help propel our country forward?

Together,

Angela Alsobrooks

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.
