PFAW Member,
The New York Times reported this week that in discussions with members of his administration about his push to build his trademark border wall (emphasis added):
“The president had often talked about fortifying a border wall with a water-filled trench, stocked with snakes or alligators, prompting aides to seek a cost estimate. He wanted the wall electrified, with spikes on top that could pierce human flesh. After publicly suggesting that soldiers shoot migrants if they threw rocks, the president backed off when his staff told him that was illegal. But later in a meeting, aides recalled, he suggested that they shoot migrants in the legs to slow them down.”
This reporting offers more insight into the depravity, cruelty, and utter disregard for human decency and the law that we’re up against.
We need to fortify our funding base immediately if we’re going to defeat Trump and his extremist defenders and save American democracy.
That’s why I’m coming to you, as one of our more engaged supporters, to ask that you take your involvement to the next level and become a Defender of Democracy with a recurring monthly gift to sustain our fight against Trump Republicans and the Radical Right.
We have MAJOR fights left in 2019 – like the impeachment investigation and next month’s Virginia elections – and 2020 is right around the corner!
So we've set a deadline by the end of the weekend to sign up another 150 new Defenders of Democracy.
Will you start a sustaining monthly donation today as our newest Defender of Democracy?
Our Defenders of Democracy are our best, most reliable supporters and build the ongoing financial base that sustains our work all year round – because Trump, his loyal allies, and the Radical Right are aggressively trying to lay waste to the American Way 365 days a year (so we need to be able to fight back 365 days a year).
Even a small amount each month will add up over the year and will be vital to
Protect the impeachment inquiry and expose the Trump administration for the corrupt, lawless enterprise that it is to the whole country – engaged progressives like you already know the truth, but there are a lot of voters we still need to reach.
WIN next month’s elections in Virginia to ensure that it’s progressives who have the momentum heading into 2020.
And, then, hold Trump Republicans accountable up and the down the ballot in 2020 – together, we will:
TAKE BACK the White House;
END Mitch McConnell’s Senate Majority;
HOLD the House;
FLIP Republican-held state legislatures;
And elect a DEEP BENCH of winning progressive champions at every level of government…
Are you in?
Thank you for everything you do!
-- Kristen Smith, Membership Director
