John, I have some huge news to share with you: I am running for Senate here in Kentucky to replace Mitch McConnell. In a moment, I’m going to tell you about my vision for this election — and I would love it if you took the time to read my full message. But if you’re short on time, will you chip in $10 to become one of my founding donors and help me become the next Democratic U.S. Senator? >> 

John, I was born and raised right here in Kentucky.

I’ve spent my life in service to our communities, state, and country.

I served as a JAG attorney in the U.S. Air Force for 27 years with the rank of Colonel. In the Air Force, I successfully negotiated several hostage crises and prosecuted violent criminals and child sex offenders.

I’m a nonprofit founder for veterans in need, ordained minister, and the Floor Leader of the Kentucky House Democrats.

I know firsthand the challenges Kentucky and our country are up against. 

So now, after 27 years of serving our state and our country, I am running for Senate, but I can't start this fight alone. That’s why I’m reaching out to you personally: Will you chip in $10 in before midnight TONIGHT to help me kick off my campaign strong and show the world I have what it takes to win this race? >> 

I’m ready to run for U.S. Senate to defend our freedoms and build an economy that works for everyone – no matter your background. 

Every American deserves access to food, clean water, healthcare, and shelter. 

But Mitch McConnell and the GOP do not see things the same way.  

During his 40 years in the US Senate, he’s put his personal quest for power and his special-interest allies ahead of our state, nation, and Constitution every time.

I’m ready to turn the page. But I need you with me. 

I promise you I will put everything I have into winning this race and being a voice for every single American. But I can’t do it alone — and I’ll need the help of grassroots supporters like you every step of the way. So I’m humbly asking: Will you pitch in $10 before midnight tonight and help me kick off my campaign with an unbeatable show of support? >>

In the Air Force, they taught us to live by “Duty. Honor. Country.” I ask you to stand with me and live by “Duty. Honor. Kentucky.” 

Thank you, 

Colonel Pam
Floor Leader, House Democrats
Candidate for US Senate

About Blue Amp 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.
