If you liked Joe Lieberman undermining Democrats, you'll love Josh Gottheimer and Jon Hickenlooper in the House and Senate. Or, you can donate $2 to their progressive opponents and our work to elect them.

Wow! People must really hate Joe Lieberman! Since asking yesterday, folks all across the country are donating to defeat two Liebermans on the ballot soon -- one running for House, one for Senate. Join them here.

Joe Lieberman was one of the worst Democrats ever. Some Democrats frustrate us by being weak or voting wrong occasionally -- Lieberman was not that.

When Democratic leadership wanted to do the right thing, and most conservative Dems were willing to go along, Lieberman was an Underminer In Chief -- actively organizing conservatives to undermine Democratic leadership.

That's Josh Gottheimer in the House right now. And it will be Jon Hickenlooper if he makes it to the Senate. If we win in 2020, they will work to stop us from accomplishing good things. Can you donate $2 to their progressive primary opponents right now and our work to elect them?

You'd like more elaboration? Gladly!

First, let me vent about Joe Lieberman a little more...

He endorsed John McCain against Barack Obama.

Then, in the health care fight, we had a whopping 59 Democratic senators willing to extend Medicare to Americans age 55 and over. Lieberman was the 60th vote we needed to win. Instead, he killed it. During this pandemic, millions of people without health insurance would have had it...except Joe Lieberman made them suffer.

Nancy Pelosi wanted to attach strings to a must-pass Defense spending bill to stop Trump from caging kids at our borders. The new House Democratic majority was about to do it. Then, Josh Gottheimer organized over a dozen conservative Democrats and threatened to tank the bill. So, kids remain in cages...suffering because of him.

Jon Hickenlooper is running for Senate in Colorado, a Democratic state that just elected a pro-Medicare For All governor by double digits! But Hickenlooper actively attacked Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Medicare For All when he ran for president (and lost fantastically).

He opposes a Green New Deal and supports fracking at a time our planet can't afford more delay. And his major ethics scandal threatens our chance to flip this seat.

Please...we know you get asked for money a lot...but these two villains will undermine everything else you donate to if we let them get to Congress. Please donate $2 or more to their progressive opponents now and our work electing them.

Arati Kreibich is a progressive City Council woman running against Josh Gottheimer in New Jersey. She once volunteered for him and even hosted an event for him at her home. But he betrayed Democrats, so she's running against him on July 7 on big ideas like a Green New Deal and Medicare for All.

Gottheimer won in 2018 by 14 points. Whomever wins the primary will likely win the general election. Please do the right thing -- help Arati win.

Andrew Romanoff is a former Colorado House speaker running on Medicare For All, a Green New Deal, and other progressive priorities. He has called out Hickenlooper's ethics scandal. He is endorsed by other progressive orgs like the Sunrise Movement.

If Romanoff wins the primary, he'll pick up this seat for Democrats in the general -- helping us to win back the Senate. Please help Andrew win!

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
