Friends -

This is a long update, but there’s a lot to report, both from the front lines of True the Vote and from me to you, personally, as fellow Americans.

If you’re on this email list, it’s because you’re concerned about election integrity - and you’re right to be. We’ve talked for years about the need for reform and greater citizen engagement, lest we reach a tipping point that would take our country to a place of unbridled chaos. That tipping point occurred in 2020. You are right to be concerned. We are now in new, uncharted terrain. The question is what comes next.

For the past two weeks, I’ve been in Georgia with a small team from True the Vote, working on specific, tangible ways to help ensure transparency and accuracy in the critical run-off elections that will determine the balance of power in the Senate. We’ve met with voters and state leaders, leading ultimately to a request from the Georgia Republican Party to provide publicly available nonpartisan signature verification training, a 24x7 voter hotline, ballot-curing support, and more.

Our focus on Georgia does not mean, in any way, that we condone or concede what happened on November 3rd. The patterns in voter turnout and supporting data exhibit anomalies pointing to the subversion of select races, specifically in the contest for the presidency. That is a true statement.

True the Vote is still supporting efforts to uncover General Election fraud. We have provided many whistleblowers, testimonies, and affidavits to Sidney Powell and have provided data and support to all camps including Powell, Giuliani, and The Amistead Project. True the Vote’s own lawsuits in WI, MI, GA, and PA, were dismissed on November 13th after an excruciating series of events that will one day be known, but now is not the time to air. Bottom line, we will help anyone we can.

Many of you have contacted us asking how you can help. We know your hearts and we share in your desire to take action. For more specific information on how to help in Georgia and beyond, you can skip down to the paragraph titled Georgia and Ground Up. Many more have asked why we are not actively fundraising right now. For that information, you can skip down to Funding Needs. But before I get to that, I’d like to share a personal story of what happened this weekend.

I’m writing this while on a plane packed full of patriots going home from Saturday’s rallies in Washington, DC. On December 12th, thousands of Americans joined together, in DC and across the country, to pray for our nation. It was an incredible experience. My son went with me. When I started True the Vote he was 12 years old, now he’s 22. He’s grown up in the movement and is now a strong patriot. I wanted him to experience the Jericho March, but I also wanted him to see what used to be Lafayette Square and is now Black Lives Matter Plaza. I wanted him to see what has become of our nation’s capital.

You couldn’t get into BLM plaza. The entire area was cordoned off all day by police. I spoke to one of the officers who said they were there "to keep people out of the danger zone". Understand, this an area comprising several blocks inside the beltway, including the Hays-Adams hotel, the historic St. John’s Church, the park, and many, many businesses, most of which have been abandoned. Boarded up and graffitied over.

The day was amazing, full of prayer, patriotism, and positive-vibes. People are committed to this battle. And that’s what we need because restoring election integrity will be neither quick nor easy. I saw old friends like Ed Martin and Ali Alexander and met new ones like Owen Shroyer. It was amazing to see a program featuring speakers, from Robert Weinger, who opened the program, having flown from Israel after receiving rabbinical permission to blow the shofar on Sabbath, to Alex Jones, who took to the stage in unity for our beloved America.

Everyone was in one accord. Our freedom is in peril. Extraordinary action must be taken to preserve it.

Later that night, things got much worse, with rioting, fighting, stabbings, and shots fired. We had long since left, but watched clips on social media, recognizing the streets where we’d just been.

Friends, my sense is this is just the beginning. Now is the time to brush up on why you believe what you believe, why freedom matters, and what you are willing to do to preserve it. I pray I am wrong, but I don’t think so. We’ve been through so much, been pushed so far. Saying "we’ll get it right next time" isn’t enough. Things have to change.

We are actively working in Georgia to defend election integrity. Specifically, we are using our research of the voter rolls to help prevent illegal votes from being cast. I’ll report more on this in the week ahead.

We are also:

pressing the Secretary of State for answers about the Emergency Rules to be used in the upcoming election. (Note: to date, pressing has meant filling for open records, but legal action may be necessary. A lawsuit has been filed by the GA Republican Party that will help determine what access will be made available. We are prepared to take swift legal action if required)
supporting Georgia voters with a Georgia Voter Election Integrity Hotline
supporting Georgia election workers with Signature Verification Training
working to gain access to ballot drop-box security camera feeds in order to livestream in the interest of transparency
working to assist Georgia voters in curing ballot discrepancies
leading webinars and FAQ sessions for government leaders in support of their constituents who are understandably angry about what happened in November.

Many of you want to come to Georgia to help. Thank you for your commitment to serve! Georgia election laws allow only residents of Georgia to serve in elections. We may well need your help online, in voter outreach, but until we know more we don’t want to enlist anyone outside of Georgia.

If you live in Georgia and are willing to help True the Vote in your state, please sign up here.

If you don’t live in Georgia, please keep watch for email updates, as we will likely have a call to action for online support within the coming two weeks.

The Georgia election is January 5th. The Presidential Inauguration will be January 20th. Those are two major milestone days. Between now and then, we will be noses down.

Election integrity work is a very granular and exacting process. It doesn’t lend itself to a whole lot of headlines. But we will be making many in the coming days. Stay tuned.

True the Vote is not letting off the gas in 2021. Our new project "Ground Up" will support the recruiting, training, and mobilizing of local election-integrity groups across the country. Yes, national reforms are needed, but I believe the best way to defend against increased federal subversion is through informing and empowering each other locally to protect elections in our own states and hometowns. More to come on that, but rest assured it is coming.

Inboxes are overflowing with requests for donations from other organizations to stop election fraud. I can’t speak to what they are doing with those dollars. We had a large donation given to us after the election, which we believed would allow us to avoid having to send constant fundraising emails for the activities described above and the support of a whistleblower fund. I thought it was an answer to prayer. Shortly after the donation was made, I was asked by consultants affiliated with the donor to transfer money to them. I said no and a few days later we were sued. What’s more, the consultants put together a huge smear campaign that they released to the mainstream press on Thanksgiving Day.

After ten years in this fight, being targeted by the Obama Administration, suing and beating the IRS, and taking hits from all sides, this is just one more chapter in exposing the swamp.

But, we do need your help. If you can donate to help support our work, please do. Your donation will be used to fund the work in Georgia, but also to begin the work on Ground Up …which is the answer to "what comes next". We have gone from a staff of two to a staff of twelve; including talented investigators, analysts, trainers, attorneys, and writers. True the Vote was conceived for such a time as this and our best days are ahead.

I know it has been a tough few weeks. It will get tougher still.

We are in this together. The only way out is to get busy.

It’s up to us to fix this - you, me, and anyone who loves America. Working together, we can and will, true the vote.

Onward -
Catherine
