Dear Friends,
Russell Vought is Donald Trump’s architect for the Oligarchy. As CBO Director, his goal will be to make the very rich even richer by dismantling critical government programs that deliver for America’s working class, like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Meals on Wheels, Head Start, and many others. Under Vought, those "savings" will then be used to provide huge tax breaks to Elon Musk and other billionaires.
On Thursday, the Senate will vote on Mr. Vought’s nomination to be confirmed to the White House Office of Management and Budget. I’m asking you to call your Senators via the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-2131 and demand that they vote NO.
Vought is a right-wing extremist who was a lead author of Project 2025. Along with Elon Musk, he is responsible for the recent White House order attempting to freeze all federal assistance, including Medicaid funding, and rip apart the federal workforce. When Vought worked in Congress, he repeatedly drafted plans to drastically cut Medicare, and during the first Trump administration as his budget chief, he drafted budgets that cut Social Security. Vought also wants to outlaw medication abortion nationwide. And just a few days ago, he stated that the 2020 election was “rigged” and did not believe in the outcome.
I’m going to do everything I can to encourage my fellow Senate colleagues to oppose Mr. Vought’s nomination. Please help us by taking action, calling your Senators via the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-2131, and demanding that they vote no on Russell Vought.

In fact, there is no single greater source for our campaign's fundraising than emails like this one. And that's important, because no one person, not even Bernie Sanders, can take on the billionaire class alone.
