John,

My name is Eileen Laubacher, and I am the Democrat and retired U.S. Navy Admiral running against Lauren Boebert in Colorado. 

I was 17-years-old the first time I raised my right hand and took an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. 

I took those words, and that responsibility, seriously every day for the next 4 decades. When I was an intelligence officer. When I was deployed to Afghanistan. When I became an Admiral. And as a member of the president’s National Security Council.

But in all those years, I have never felt as much of a threat to our country, our Constitution, and our very democracy as I do right now. I said I would never run for office. But in this moment, I feel an obligation to step up, serve my community, and defend our country once again.

I am running for Congress to defeat Lauren Boebert because when she was sworn into office, Lauren took a similar oath to defend our Constitution – and she has betrayed it almost every single day since then.

Adam Frisch only lost to Lauren Boebert by 546 votes. It was the closest race in the entire country. With the right Democrat, we can finally put an end to Lauren Boebert’s embarrassing political career – but I need your help now to do it.

My campaign has set a goal to raise $50,000 to defeat Lauren Boebert and take back the House for Democrats, but right now, we’re still very short. If I am going to send Lauren Boebert packing and flip this seat blue, I need grassroots donors like you to chip in right now to my campaign: 

Please, will you split a donation right now between my campaign and Blue Amp Action to help me defeat Lauren Boebert, flip this seat blue, and take back the House for Democrats? I am not accepting money from corporate PACs like Boebert is, so no amount you can give is too small.

Our republic is being tested in ways that it has never been before. We must protect it and keep it.

I am so grateful to have your support.

Eileen

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!
