John — it’s Shelbi, Jon Tester’s Campaign Manager. I just made a tough decision that you need to hear about immediately.

According to several recent reports, Tim Sheehy lied about his military service.

1. On the campaign trail, Sheehy claimed he had a gunshot wound in his arm from combat. But according to the New York Times, public records, and firsthand accounts — including a Navy SEAL who served with Sheehy — his gunshot wound was from accidentally shooting himself in the arm in Glacier National Park.
2. Days later, NBC News released another bombshell report stating Sheehy lied about being “medically discharged” from the Navy.

It’s shocking — and Montanans must know the truth but we’re running out of time.

So I made the difficult decision to launch more television and digital ads today. The money isn’t in the budget yet — but with polls in the margin of error, running these final ads could be enough to break the tie in Jon’s favor and win this race.

I need you to split an immediate donation between Jon and Blue Amp Action to help us fund these last-minute ads. How you respond right now could be the difference between winning and losing.

Every time I take a risk on this campaign, it’s because I believe in this team. I’m confident grassroots supporters like you — who’ve stepped up time and time again — will help us win this Senate race.

With just 8 days until Election Day, Jon and our team need you now more than ever.

Thank you,

Shelbi
Campaign Manager

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.
