This is Congressman Ro Khanna. FIRST: I stood up for working people and
said the wealthiest few Americans should pay a modest 1% tax to help fund
healthcare – especially after Republicans gutted Medicaid and are still
trying to let Affordable Care Act subsidies expire.
NOW: they are openly threatening to bankroll a primary challenger against
me because of it.
I’m proud to work alongside the grassroots leaders at the Progressive
Change Campaign Committee, who have been relentless about popularizing the
simple idea that the ultra-wealthy pay a bit more, so working families can
afford healthcare and have a high quality of life.
Let me be clear: I will not back down from taxing the ultra-wealthy to
protect healthcare for millions of Americans. But the attacks are real.
And they’re escalating.
[ [link removed] ]Before I explain more, will you rush a split donation to my campaign
and the PCCC to help us show those bankrolling a primary against me that
threatening us will only strengthen our movement?
The ultra-wealthy and their allies are furious that I’ve said the quiet
part out loud: in the richest country in the world, we shouldn’t be
cutting healthcare for working families while billionaires pay a lower
effective tax rate than teachers and firefighters.
I don’t take PAC money.
I don’t take lobbyist money.
I don’t take corporate money.
My campaign is powered by people like you. And that’s exactly why they
want me out of Congress.
This fight isn’t just about me. It’s about whether someone can stand up to
the wealthiest few in America while being a representative from Silicon
Valley.
If I lose this seat, it sends a message that they can silence anyone who
fights for the working class.
If we win, it proves something powerful: that people power can beat big
money – even when they come for us.
I really need your back right now for the fight that is about to come.
[ [link removed] ]Chip in whatever you can today and help us show these ultra-wealthy and
their allies that my seat isn’t for sale.
