Hello. I’m heading to Nebraska on Tuesday to campaign for Dan Osborn ([link removed]) , who is running for Senate in Nebraska and is leading the incumbent in recent polls. Dan is running as an Independent and represents one of the great opportunities in November.

Forward has endorsed dozens of local candidates ([link removed]) – we are running a fundraising campaign with a goal of $25,000 – if you are able to do so please donate ([link removed]) $25 or whatever you can to Forward today. It will help us do a lot of good.

Thousands of people donate to Forward every year, which I’m immensely grateful for. Imagine everyday Americans donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to improve democracy and present real choice. We are doing the thing that others believe to be out-of-reach. At some point in the future, people will look up and say, “Wow, they did what?”

Dan Osborn ([link removed]) is a huge overlooked opportunity, but there are others including Adam Frisch ([link removed]) , John Avlon ([link removed]) , Eric Settle ([link removed]) and the other candidates that Forward has endorsed. One candidate – John Curtis ([link removed]) – is certain to be the next U.S. Senator representing Utah in Mitt Romney’s old seat.

The two parties are spending billions beating each other up – I get multiple texts every day – while we are earnestly building the alternative on a shoestring.

Still, we are not unmindful of the general election and all that is at stake. Our activities in Pennsylvania, Nevada, North Carolina and other contested states could be the difference-maker speaking to different audiences.

As I put in a recent post: “I get the frustration. I just don’t think Donald Trump is the answer.”

There are also half-a-dozen states that are considering primary reform a la Alaska- the subject of my TED talk ([link removed]) that is now over 2.1 million views - including Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, Montana, Idaho and South Dakota as well as Oregon considering Ranked Choice Voting. These might not get the headlines on Election Night but they are very high-stakes.

People ask what Forward ([link removed]) is about all the time. Forward is a positive independent movement to reform our politics by boosting reforms, supporting good candidates ([link removed]) of any party, and creating a third party that can reduce the polarization, hostility and dysfunction that make our politics unresponsive to the problems of this age. We have dozens of affiliated elected officials and our co-chairs include the two-term Governor of New Jersey ([link removed]) , the former Lt. Governor of Massachusetts ([link removed]) and a certain entrepreneur ([link removed]) who wants good things for people.

We’ve accomplished a lot over the last few years but we have a long way to go. Thank you. Let’s work for the best in November.
