Hey John, It's Summer.
The other day, I reached out because we’re still short on our monthly
grassroots goal. But I don’t just want to ask y’all for help—I want you to
see the work I’m putting in every single day.
Because when I say I won’t take corporate PAC checks or billionaire
favors, I mean it. I mean it in how I run my campaign. And I mean it in
how I legislate.
Talk is cheap. Anybody can say they’re for the people, but you can’t claim
to be the party of the working class while cashing checks from the same
billionaires and corporations that hold working folks down. That’s not who
I am and that’s not why I ran for Congress.
[ [link removed] ]John, you know you’ll never have to wonder what side I’m
on. I always stand ten toes down for the people—no matter how much money
the other side throws at me. But to keep standing strong, I need you with
me today. Will you click here and chip in $5, $15, or whatever you can
today to help us keep this campaign powered by folks like you?
Just this year I introduced the Abolish Super PACs Act—to shut down one of
the biggest vehicles billionaires use to drown out working people. I also
helped bring forward the OLIGARCH Act, so we can finally rein in the
wealth and political power of the ultra-rich.
But I didn’t stop there. I held a roundtable in Pittsburgh to bring our
community together and demand change to abolish Super PACs, overturn
Citizens United, and stop corporate giants from buying our elections. I
also introduced the Stop the Super PAC-Candidate Coordination Act, to
finally cut the backroom ties between candidates and outside groups. And
in the same week, I signed on to the Billionaire Income Tax Act, to make
sure the ultra-wealthy start paying their fair share while also joining my
colleagues in introducing a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens
United and restore the ability of Congress and states to set commonsense
limits on money in politics.
That’s the work. And that’s the fight I've been leading in Congress.
But here’s the hard truth: the more I push to take power away from
billionaires, the more of a target I become to them. They’re ready to
flood my district with millions again. And without grassroots support, we
are bound to fall behind. While I knew bucking the system would make me a
target, it’s a fight I'm ready to lead no matter the repercussions.
[ [link removed] ]So I’m asking you today, right here, right now: will you click here and
pitch in $5, $15, or $50 to help keep this campaign people-powered and
ready to fight back?
I know times are tough. I know every dollar matters. And I also know this:
together, we can build a democracy that belongs to us—not them.
Thank you for believing in this fight and thank you for always standing
with me.
In solidarity,
Summer Lee
