John,
Too many Republican members of Congress fear Trump more than anything else. Too many of their Democratic colleagues fear any kind of fight at all.
Holding town halls — all comers welcomed, no question off limits — shifts the focus to the people those members of Congress are supposed to serve. If they fear anyone, let it be the people who put them in power in the first place and who have the power to remove them in the next election.
Texas Congressman Troy Nehls has refused to face his constituents and hold a town hall. So last night we traveled to Fort Bend county and held one for him.
Minnesota governor Tim Walz joined me and nearly 2,000 constituents from the 22nd Congressional District to talk about the future of this country and — most importantly — the action each of us is willing to take to save it.
The road ahead is going to be the toughest we’ve ever traveled. But we will walk it together, having decided that between the choice of fighting or surrendering, we choose to fight.
Beto
John, if we want to keep this momentum going – reaching more voters, hosting more town halls, and growing this movement – we need the resources to make it happen. |
