Friend, 

First and foremost, thank you for opening this message. Few conservatives take the time to read our messages, so I really appreciate you opening mine. 

I'm Amir Hassan, a Flint, Michigan, kid who never thought I'd be running for Congress. 

Growing up in a General Motors family taught me the importance of hard work and service. That's why I enlisted in the US Navy, where I had the privilege of serving my country and working security at Guantanamo Bay. 

After leaving the military, I finished my degree and started working in federal law enforcement, providing security to cabinet secretaries from both parties.

But the more I saw the inner workings of the Democrat Party, the more I realized they only care about one thing: growing their own power. I saw how they use people like me, from communities like mine, as pawns to further their own agenda. 

That's why I've decided to hang up my badge and take on a new challenge: running for Congress to flip a Democrat seat.

But I know it won't be easy. The Democrats have billionaires bankrolling their campaigns, and they'll stop at nothing to maintain their grip on power. 

That's why I'm building a grassroots campaign, funded by folks like you who are willing to chip in $5 or $50 or any amount you can spare. I'm not beholden to special interests or deep-pocketed donors. I'm only accountable to the people.
