Step up now — $7,600 to defend democracy [[link removed]]
John,
Let’s call this moment what it is: orchestrated chaos. While Donald Trump continues to attack our rights and fan the flames of division, the GOP is driving our country headfirst into yet ANOTHER government shutdown.
You and I both know what “government dysfunction” means — but what we’re seeing right now goes deeper.
They’d rather grandstand, stall, and sabotage than actually govern. They refuse to put forth a budget package that any rational person could vote for — and I’m telling you, this dysfunction is only getting worse. And now we’ve got the president threatening to fire his very own federal employees in retaliation … the chaos is exhausting.
It’s not just about another shutdown. It’s about a pattern: attacks on free speech, rising authoritarian impulses, constant chaos. The GOP isn’t just failing to govern — they’re chipping away at the very institutions that make democracy possible.
Free speech isn’t under threat somewhere far away; it’s in danger right here at home — in attempts to silence dissent, to shut down voices that challenge power, to punish those who ask questions. This isn’t hypothetical. It’s existential.
Look, I know this is heavy. The fight feels big, and it is. But I am here to tell you here and now: this fight is one we WILL win because we will NEVER give up on our democracy. We just have to dig deep — that’s why I’m coming to you, asking for help.
My team is facing an important end-of-quarter public FEC deadline in just a few days. We’re raising funds to get us ready (more about that in a second) for the work ahead. Can you chip in right away to help us reach our goal of raising an additional $7,600 before midnight on September 30? [[link removed]]
When we take back the House, I will become the new Chair of the House Rules Subcommittee. I have spent years defending our democratic norms, protecting those rights, and ensuring that process matters. I know how to use that power to ensure transparency, accountability, and to secure our rights.
I know how to hold the chaos back.
That’s why I’m not waiting for 2026. I’m organizing now — right here in battleground Pennsylvania. We’ve rented a campaign hub that will be our local anchor. We’re bringing on more paid interns who are helping with digital outreach. We’re building a xxxxxx to defend against MAGA chaos.
That’s why we need to raise an additional $7,600 by the end of the quarter. This gives us the fuel to keep showing up — to protect free speech, to push back on authoritarian tactics, to defend democracy in Washington and in every neighborhood in PA.
Donate now and be a part of this work. Chip in whatever you can to help us reach $7,600 and build a campaign infrastructure that can lead the fight back against the GOP’s assault on our rights. [[link removed]] Thank you for being part of this. We can’t afford to let this moment slip away.
