PFAW Member,
Trump is facing the biggest challenge of his presidency with an impeachment inquiry that grows more popular by the day.
And his response? To go absolutely nuclear with his attacks against critics, our democratic institutions, and our constitutional mechanisms of accountability and checks and balances…
It’s his campaign playbook on steroids:
Trump’s accusing congressional leaders of the impeachment inquiry like Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff of TREASON with no basis (accusing their critics of what they themselves are guilty of has been a staple of Trump Republicans’ political strategy)…
Trump is calling efforts to enforce the law and hold him accountable for apparent egregious corruption “BULLSHIT” and, worse, a “COUP,” claiming they are an attack on the country itself (authoritarian rulers equate themselves with the state) and threatening that an impeachment fight could even lead to “Civil War”…
Trump is telling his supporters that efforts to uphold the rule of law and get to the bottom of his and his administration’s wrongdoing are an attack on them personally and their “rights” – including “their VOTE, their Freedoms, their Second Amendment, Religion, Military…”
And his surrogates are swarming the airwaves to attack progressives and Democrats with ugly, outrageous lies – former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told a Fox News host this week that Democratic presidential hopefuls Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders “want to have illegal aliens come across this border and kill Americans.”
As you know, this is all INCREDIBLY dangerous. Now couple the incendiary rhetoric with the fact that the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee just reported raising a staggering $125 million in the third quarter!
Democracy never needed defending more than it does right now, at this very moment.
That’s why we set the ambitious goal of 150 new monthly sustaining members -- our Defenders of Democracy -- by the end of the week and why I’m pleading with you and other PFAW members around the country to take the next step now as part of the fight for a progressive future:
If a few bucks a month won’t break your budget, please know that it can do a TREMENDOUS amount of good in the fight to save our 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 already know the truth, but there are a lot of voters we can still get.
-
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!
