John let's get one thing straight:

The comments made about Puerto Rico at Donald Trump's rally this weekend were NOT a joke. They were racist, insulting, and entirely unacceptable. 

Ya no más.

Any person or party who espouses this kind of vile rhetoric against other humans — let alone citizens of the United States — is unfit to run the White House. And anyone who would tie themselves so closely to a candidate who does, like Rick Scott, has no business in any position of power — especially in Florida.

Please split $15 or more between Blue Amp Action now to help me reach my $10 million end-of-month goal and build the resources to retire him from the Senate.

And what's more, John, is that they know full-well that what they're doing is wrong — and they're terrified of facing the consequences.

How am I so sure? Well, when I went to vote yesterday, I had the displeasure of running into Rick Scott myself, as he rallied Miami Republicans in a misguided attempt to try and intimidate me for social media clicks.

As soon as he saw me there, he sped off in his chauffeured getaway car.

Disappointing? Yes. Surprising? Hardly. It's just who he, Donald Trump, and the GOP are: Bigots, cowards, and losers.

First, Rick took a note out of Trump's playbook when he refused to debate me. Then, he comes to my home district and doesn't even have the courage to face me, not to mention answer for his puppet-master's despicable attitudes.

Now, he's panicking, and desperately trying to placate Florida's large Puerto Rican population, whose votes he's courting to win and stay in power. 

The best way he could earn our forgiveness now is by leaving my people in peace, starting by staying out of politics entirely. Sadly, cowards like him don't have the decency to do the right thing and leave us be.

But with the massive fortune he used to buy the 2018 election, he won't leave without a groundswell of Florida voters saying ya no más, too.

And with just 4 days left in this race, I won't galvanize the movement to unseat him if I can't make my crucial $10 million goal by midnight on Thursday.

In short, I can't bring him to account at the ballot box on Election Day without your grassroots support, tonight. Will you please rush $15, or anything you can spare to split with Blue Amp Action and help me flip Florida blue, retire Rick Scott, and stop the GOP's hatred from getting ahold of the Senate majority?

Let's get this done.

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.
