John, it’s Jon. Can I be real with you?

I’m no stranger to tough elections, but I’ve never run a race like this. I’m in the fight of my life right now, and I could really use your help. I’ll explain more in a second, but first, will you make a split donation to my campaign and Blue Amp Action today? 

Here’s two things I think you should know:

1) Mitch McConnell has made me his top target this cycle, and his super PAC allies are spending nearly $90 million in ads to tear me down. That’s more outside cash than all of my previous races combined.

2) Polling experts have rated this race a toss-up, which means we need all the resources we can get to build a winning operation.

I won my first Senate race by just 3,562 votes—and this one could be even closer. That’s why it's such bad news that our fundraising has taken a nosedive in the past 48 hours.

We have to right the ship immediately, so I’m personally asking: Will you split a donation to my campaign and Blue Amp Action today?

Thanks, I really appreciate the support.

— Jon

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.
