Email from Organization Name Republicans constantly put the interests of their donors ahead of the American people, gutting key government programs to fund tax cuts and subsidies for some of the richest people in human history. John, The heartbreaking loss of life in the Texas floods is a direct reminder of what failed leadership looks like. Because of climate change, these once in a lifetime extreme weather events are becoming common in America. Just last month, for the first time in recorded history, a dangerous dust storm swept through my district, damaging homes and creating hazardous travel conditions in Evanston and the surrounding Chicago metro area. Republicans refuse to even acknowledge that climate change is real and they are gutting crucial federal agencies that predict & warn Americans before climate disasters strike. The consequences are fatal.  Republicans constantly put the interests of their donors ahead of the American people, gutting key government programs to fund tax cuts and subsidies for some of the richest people in human history. This is what they have done every single time they have gained power for decades. Their recent cuts to Medicaid are just further proof, literally sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of Americans by stripping away their healthcare to line the pockets of the ultra-wealthy. We cannot continue to send people to DC who view the federal government as if it is some bank to rob—taking taxpayer money and diverting it away from crucial services and into the hands of their corporate donors. It’s not just the GOP either—there are Dems, some of which are my opponents in this election, who also feed at the trough of billionaires and special interests. That is why I am leading by example. I do not accept corporate or special interest cash. My campaign is fully funded by grassroots supporters and I am running on an agenda focused on making the federal government work for you with policies designed to tangibly improve your life—a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, canceling student debt, making housing affordable, etc. If you believe we need more leaders in DC who will use the power of our federal government to protect & improve the lives of working-class Americans, will you chip in $5, $10, or even $50 to help my campaign?
