John, we’re sorry to bother you. 

We’re sure you’ve got better things to do. 

But Ruben Gallego’s fundraising is running into an absolutely crippling slowdown right now. 

We set a $50,000 donation goal ahead of Wednesday, October 9th. That’s an important date for three reasons: 

1. It is the day that Ruben is going to debate Kari Lake. 
2. It is the day that early voting begins in Arizona. 
3. It is the day that mail-in ballots start getting sent out to voters.

We won’t beat around the bush — we’re way behind on that goal. So far behind that we’re not sure how we’ll get there. 

But the reality here is that this race is far closer than the polls show. Arizona simply does not have blowout elections, and Kari Lake lost her last race by less than 1% of all votes cast. If we’re going to defeat her this time we need to hit these goals. 

That’s the only way we’ll fund a campaign that can win. That’s the truth. 

So, we’re asking Ruben’s most important supporters to make a split donation to his campaign for U.S. Senate and Blue Amp Action today. We’ve got to work together to close this gap. Please.

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.
