John,
If you want to end this MAGA nightmare… if you want James Talarico to be
the next senator from the state of Texas… if you want to take it to Ken
Paxton… this one is for you.
You probably remember that Paxton came after me and Powered by People in
the middle of the Texas gerrymandering fight last year.
He sued us not because we’d broken any law, but because he hoped that
bringing the full weight of the Attorney General’s office against us would
cause us to throw in the towel. He was rightfully worried that our
grassroots organizing, voter registration programs and our willingness to
fight to the last breath against this attempted authoritarian takeover of
our government would cause him problems in his race for Senate.
Maybe, he thought, he could tie us up in courts, force us to rack up
unaffordable legal bills, and sideline one of the most innovative voter
turnout programs in the country.
It’s what he’s tried to do to other groups across the state. Annunciation
House. FIEL Houston. Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley. Jolt
Initiative.
He even sued the Democratic donation processing firm ActBlue.
Not because anyone has broken the law. But because he sees them as
political opponents.
Here’s the good news. Like us, many of these groups are fighting back. And
like us, many of them are winning. ActBlue just won a major decision in
federal court last week.
That shows that standing up to a thug like Paxton, fighting back and
fighting to win, works. So let’s keep it up. Because, while we’ve won at
the district court and appeals court levels, he is not letting up, hoping
to wear us down and stop us from organizing.
It hasn't been easy -- we’ve spent more than $500,000 in legal fees
fighting him so far -- but it's been possible thanks to contributions from
people like you.

focus on the work that will elect James Talarico the next U.S. Senator
from Texas.
