Hi friend --

“Sen. Perdue has been lying to the public, and to you, members of the press, for the last year about his financial misconduct.”

Democrat Jon Ossoff was fierce in his condemnation of Republican incumbent David Perdue to reporters. When asked about the stakes of the Georgia Senate runoff, Ossoff answered, “the direct economic relief that Sen. Perdue has been obstructing while looking after his own stock portfolio.”

We couldn't agree more.

If we fail, incumbent GOP Senator David Perdue keeps his seat. In other words, an anti-LGBTQ+ equality, anti-Affordable Care Act, anti-immigrant climate change denier and close ally of Donald Trump gets another six years in the Senate -- and Mitch McConnell gets another term in the Majority Leader’s chair.

But friend, believe us when we say Jon Ossoff can WIN tomorrow. He came within two points of Perdue in the general election -- just a hair’s breadth -- and is now seeing a surge of grassroots donations and support. Not to mention high-profile endorsements like Obama’s and a platform (which includes a new Voting Rights Act and science-backed solutions to the pandemic) that appeals to progressive voters in Georgia and around the country.

We shouldn’t get too comfortable, however -- David Perdue is an incredibly powerful man. He unilaterally rejected a series of six debates between himself and Ossoff, with no fallout. And he sold off more than a million dollars in stock at an incredibly convenient time during the pandemic -- but was still cleared of wrongdoing by the Senate Ethics Committee. Perdue’s been acting in his own best interest and against the will of the people his entire life and getting away with it scot-free -- and there’s no guarantee that won’t happen this time.

With Perdue having rejected all offers to debate, many voters will make up their minds based solely on the attack ads they see Perdue running. And Ossoff is getting outspent.

Big business can pump up their stock-trading, debate-cancelling, Trump-loving idealogue all they want. We know they’d love nothing more than to buy a red Senate to obstruct Biden’s agenda every chance they get. But we’ve got one thing they haven’t got, friend: You.

 

This is how Democrats win elections. We respond to fraud, cheating, despicable policy aims, and powerful GOP special interests with grassroots ACTION. We come together as a party, with each of us chipping in a little here and there, and we WIN against the big red Georgia machine. Will you do your part now by pitching in what you can afford? Your money will support the Jon Ossoff campaign, our one shot at a blue Senate under Joe Biden, and the progressive future of this country.

 

 

We could not be more grateful for your support.

We promise we’re taking whatever you can give and getting straight to work.
