Good morning,
John.
This is Ken.

Between the last 50-or-so years I’ve spent bringing our past to life in
film, and the present stakes facing our fragile, 248-year-old experiment
this fall, I can safely say from experience that the 2024 election will go
down in history.

From The Civil War to The Central Park Five, The Dust Bowl or Defying the
Nazis — in these moments, we had to decide whether or not we'd live up to
the essential promise of our nation: a democracy that respects the rights
and addresses the needs of all its citizens.

And 24 days from now, America will decide once more. We're faced with two
options: one that focuses on a brighter future that lives up to that
promise, and another that prefers a past where it was too often retracted.

But this choice won't only be made when we select our next president. It's
one we'll make in every race, up and down the ballot in every state.

So when it comes to Florida's Senate race, I choose Debbie
Mucarsel-Powell. [ [link removed] ]If you do too, then please, split a donation between
her campaign and Lucas Kunce now to help her prevail.

As the first South American immigrant to serve in Congress, and a tireless
advocate for her community, to me, she reflects the realization of the
American Dream and democratic values that I encourage us all to uphold.

More than that: I trust her to keep our nation on the path of progress,
where our nation's essential promise is extended to us all, in the U.S.
Senate.

I cannot say the same for her opponent, Rick Scott — someone whose
positions, policies, and personality all point to the darkest departures
from that promise: The grifts of the Gilded Age. The manic paranoia of the
(original) McCarthy era. The relentless injustice of Reconstruction.

So I'm reaching out to you now,
John,
because Florida must now decide which path to follow. And in a race that
could decide Senate control, Florida's choice could shape the next chapter
of our story.

Fortunately, the polls seem to indicate the tides are turning toward the
path of righteousness that Debbie embodies. But another lesson history
teaches us is that money talks.

So against an opponent who wields our story to selfish ends, with enough
wealth to blanket the airwaves with lies from now to Election Day, it's on
all of us to ensure Debbie has the resources to rise above the noise,
starting by reaching her $150,000 daily goal.

[ [link removed] ]Please,
John,
will you join me in the fight for our nation's essential promise by
powering Debbie to victory in Florida with your gift split between her
campaign and Lucas Kunce today? This will be the next turning point in
American history, so I would not ask if it weren't so vitally important.

right side.

Ken Burns
