Hi John, this is Adam Schiff.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the gravity of the situation we’re facing.

I want to share some thoughts with you — but before I do, will you pitch in any amount to my campaign and Blue Amp Action before our midnight deadline?

We are living in unprecedented times. Never before has our country faced such deep threats to our democracy.

Health insurance costs are ballooning because they took money out of health care for a tax cut for rich people. People are worried about making ends meet. Housing costs are skyrocketing.

Meanwhile, Trump and his allies in Congress are more interested in going after their rivals than fixing these economic crises.

It's a lot, and I understand why you might want a break.

But we can’t afford to disengage or turn away. There are too many important fights that we must continue to wage — for an economy that works for everyone, for our democracy, and for the health and safety of us all.

The future is not set; it is up to us, and we can make all the difference.

And there are good reasons for hope. Millions of Americans have come out to protest against the president. Courts are ruling in our favor. And we scored important victories last November in California, New Jersey, and Virginia.

To prepare for the battles ahead, I'm humbly asking for your support today. So John, can I count on you to chip in any amount you can to myself and Blue Amp Action to support my fight to defend our democracy and deliver for working people? Your support makes a huge difference.

Thank you for being part of this grassroots team and having my back every step of the way.

— Adam
