Friend,

Well, it’s that time of year again -- it’s back-to-school season! And when Betty and I sent our boys off to school last week, it got me thinking back to my time in school. My favorite classes were Government and Civics, and these days I think we could all use a civics lesson. Especially Donald Trump.

So here’s a back-to-school civics pop-quiz: Will you score higher than he can?

Question 1: Current Events - True or False: Official projections showed that Hurricane Dorian would not hit Alabama.
a) True
b) False

If you answered True, congratulations: You’re already scoring higher than the President! Donate to my re-election today and support leaders who are capable of reading a map.

Question 2: News Media Literacy - True or False: Media stories critical of the Trump Administration must be fake.
a) True
b) False

If you answered False, you’re right! Trump has repeatedly gotten this one wrong. Will you chip in $200, $100, or $50 today to help me defend against the “Fake News” President?

Question 3: Understanding our Democratic Processes - True or False: “Voter fraud” is a myth that has widely been disproven. Millions of people did not improperly vote in 2016.
a) True
b) False 

If you answered True, that’s 3/3! You passed, but Trump would have failed miserably. Donate $200, $100, or $50 today, and maybe we’ll be able to teach this President a thing or two about civics.

Best,
Ted
