John:

When you serve in the military you become a part of something bigger than yourself.

That sounds patriotic and everything, but how it really manifests is you having a different view of the stuff the military does than civilians do.

I served in combat, yeah. But I also lived on base. I had to do a lot of hurry up and wait. I had to keep my hair in regs, keep my dress uniform pressed and ready. So, when I see these Guard troops deployed to DC, or Marines to LA, I see it a little different than you might.

More than anything, you can see that these troops don’t want to be there. Trump’s paying $1 million a day for trained soldiers to pick up trash and rake mulch. They’ve been away from their jobs and families for weeks, and there’s no end in sight.

Instead of keeping our country safe, Trump’s using them to set up a police state aimed at repressing the American people. None of them signed up to do that.

It won’t stop here, either. We’re talking about the guy who sent a mob to the Capitol on January 6th.

It’s time to get serious about next year's elections, and what we’re going to do to make sure they go off free and fair — and that we kick all of Trump’s MAGA goons the hell out of Congress.

That’s what I’m doing: spending my weekends and free time working with candidates, traveling the country, showing up where I’m needed to make sure we win.

I never stopped working after we won last November. It’d mean a lot to have your support.
