A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

***********************

PFAW Member,

In addition to Michelle Obama’s deeply candid and passionate speech
delivered to the Democratic National Convention last night, one of the
most important highlights from the night was focused on the tragic – and
deadly – real-life impact that Donald Trump’s falsehoods and failures have
had on Americans.

Kristin Urquiza spoke about her father, who died of COVID-19:

“He had faith in Donald Trump, he voted for him, listened to him, believed
him and his mouthpieces when they said coronavirus was under control and
would disappear, and that it was OK to end social-distancing rules before
it was safe,” she said. “In late May, after the stay-at-home order was
lifted in Arizona, my dad went to a karaoke bar with his friends. A few
weeks later, he was put on a ventilator. And after five agonizing days, he
died alone, in the ICU, with a nurse holding his hand.”

And the most stinging line:

“His only pre-existing condition was trusting Donald Trump and, for that,
he paid with his life.”

Right now, Donald Trump and his right-wing allies are STILL lying about
the coronavirus pandemic. They’re STILL endangering American lives by
pushing for re-openings too early, sabotaging the U.S. Postal Service, and
trying to prevent Americans from being able to cast ballots safely in this
election.

And they’re STILL trying to kill the Affordable Care Act (!!!) – through
lawsuits and the extreme anti-health care judges they’ve confirmed at
unprecedented rates to our federal courts.

Losing in November, with the result of Donald Trump getting another term,
would be an unthinkable disaster that our country very well might not
survive.

That’s why we’re going bigger than ever – MUCH bigger – in our efforts to
win this election, elect progressives at every level, and defeat Trump
Republicans up and down the ballot.

That includes:

* 7-figure ad campaign to mobilize the Latino vote…

* A Vote the Courts 2020 campaign to hold GOP senators accountable for
their betrayal of America to stack the courts with Trump’s unfit
judges…

* Other targeted efforts aimed at flipping control of the U.S. Senate…

* Supporting young, diverse candidates at the bottom of the ballot to
energize key parts of the progressive coalition needed for Democratic
victory this year…

* Using art and artists to mobilize the anti-Trump vote in the most
critical Electoral College states…

* Strategic voter outreach using every tool at our disposal…

We’re aiming to hire two [ [link removed] ] new organizers by NEXT WEEK to help execute
all of our essential programs heading into the election, and we need to
raise $30,000 NOW.



[2]PLEASE chip in anything you can to renew your 2020 support immediately
and fund these critical efforts to save our country from Trump and
Trumpism>>



Kristin Urquiza told the truth:

“Enough is enough. Donald Trump may not have caused the coronavirus, but
his dishonesty and his irresponsible actions made it so much worse.”

If YOU’VE had ENOUGH of Trump – his failures during the pandemic, his
bigotry, his constant assault on our democracy and the American Way – then
your continued support for our election work is needed.
