Jack,
It's that time again — Two-Dollar Tuesday! Yes it's a fun slogan, yes it's
an easy, accessible way to support the campaign. But it's also a statement
about who this campaign belongs to — not billionaires, not corporate PACs.
You.
Yesterday, The New York Times [ [link removed] ]reported that just 300 billionaire
families made up 19% of all federal campaign donations in 2024. Three
hundred families out of a country of 330 million people? That's an
oligarchy, folks.
Each one gave an average of $10 million — the equivalent of 100,000
regular donors. And that's just what we can see — it doesn't count the
dark money they funnel through groups that never have to disclose a dime.
Just twenty years ago, billionaires accounted for 0.3% of campaign
spending. Now it's 19%. That's a takeover of our democracy by the elite.
For every dollar they gave to Democrats, five went to Republicans. And
right here in Wisconsin, they turned last year's Supreme Court race into
the most expensive judicial election in American history.
The governor's race is next. They're coming. And that money will be used
against us.
[ [link removed] ]If everyone reading this chipped in $2 right now, the impact would be
huge.
Your donation gets us on the road to meet voters. It lets us hire
dedicated campaign staffers who believe in our mission. It helps us print
yard signs and posters. Every dollar you give goes toward building the
kind of campaign that can fight for universal childcare, paid leave,
affordable healthcare, and an economy that works for everyone, not just
the people who can write six-figure checks.
Here’s a cute dog as a token of my gratitude.

[ [link removed] ]P.S. The best way to support the campaign is a recurring monthly
donation. Even $2 a month helps!
