Friends,

In the 1980’s, leading strategists within the KKK and white power movement began to come to the realization that their strategy of burning crosses, swastika armbands, and showing up to rallies in hoods and robes was getting them nowhere.

To achieve their goals of creating an all white future for America they needed real influence.

To get that influence, they realized they needed to focus less on recruiting the brash racists who were committing hate crimes and going to their rallies and instead focus more on recruiting straight-laced sympathizers who could infiltrate institutions like the police, military, and the highest levels of government.

The fruit of this shift from the overt to covert is coming to bear here in 2024. Look no further than our House Majority Leader, the #2 position on Capitol Hill:

In 2014, during an interview with Louisiana journalist Stephanie Grace, Scalise described himself as “David Duke without the baggage.” David Duke, is the former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan—a name that’s sadly well-known here in Louisiana, especially after his serious bids for governor and the Senate in the 1990s.

While David Duke couldn’t win an election, Steve Scalise absolutely can.

We aren’t being hyperbolic when we say that that the white power movement has infiltrated the House Majority Leader position. In 2002, Louisiana political blogger Lamar White, Jr. uncovered posts on a white supremacist website revealing that Scalise let his mask slip when he spoke at an event hosted by the European-American Unity and Rights Organization, a group founded by Duke himself.

The rise of House Majority Leader, Steve “David Duke without the baggage” Scalise, is testament to the success of the white power movement’s strategy of infiltration and it’s why we are fighting so hard to unseat him this November.

We have allocated every cent in our campaign bank account towards getting out the vote and have literally nothing left to expand these efforts. Can we count on you to chip in anything to help get us over the line and get rid of this disgusting white supremacist?

The KKK’s man on Capitol Hill isn’t just any Joe Schmo Congressman—he is the House Majority Leader. With your support, we can finally throw him out. Thank you so much for your support.
