Friend,

January tested our nation and our commitment to our democratic experiment in ways no one could have thought possible.

The deployment of masked ICE agents to Minnesota left two innocent civilians dead, thousands fearing for their lives, and an entire state under siege as the Trump Administration refuses to draw down ICE agents or admit wrongdoing. 

The videos coming from the streets of Minneapolis left me horrified and enraged at what has befallen our country. But in these moments I saw the best of our nation – Americans from all walks of life coming together to help their neighbors and defend their homes and stand up for democracy. 

I am proud Country First didn’t hesitate joining the fight for justice and accountability. We rallied our volunteers on a moment's notice from across the country to flood Senator Tillis and Murkowski’s offices with calls demanding they open up immediate and impartial investigations into DHS and ICE.

Here's the good news! It worked! Both Senators are now calling DHS and ICE to come before Congress and answer to the American people.

This wasn’t an accident. This happened because donors like you made this work possible.

I’m not about to ask you to make a contribution because of some arbitrary “end of month deadline” or countdown clock. My team and I value our relationship with our members too much to resort to those tactics, especially at a moment like this.

I’m asking you to make a January contribution, because what we raise in January will determine whether we have the strength to expand this kind of pressure campaign as Donald Trump ramps up his assault on our democracy heading into the 2026 midterm elections.

If you’re able to give before the month ends, you’re not “meeting a deadline.” You’re helping set the tone for what’s going to be a difficult fight ahead.

Thank you,

Adam Kinzinger

BREAKING: To make our cause even more urgent, we just learned Trump’s FBI under the guidance of Tulsi Gabbard raided a Georgia elections office in a desperate attempt to spark renewed conspiracies over the 2020 election.

Country First was founded in the immediate aftermath of January 6th. The very foundation of our electoral democracy is at stake. Minnesota has shown us the power of collective action, your contribution will give us the power to meet this threat head on.
