Did you catch the news, John?
Far-right Republicans in California secured the signatures to FORCE a recall election of Governor Gavin Newsom.
Here's what we know:
There's still a 30-day grace period in which signatories can reconsider their decision. Barring any changes,
CNN reports this election could land on the ballot "as early as this summer."
It gets worse:
Donald Trump's campaign operatives are already involved, and they're elevating pseudo-celebrity and pro-Trump candidate Caitlyn Jenner as their candidate of choice.
They'll be able to bring Trump's network of activists and donors to bear on the election.
We can't lose Gavin -- especially as it threatens our progress in getting COVID under control and our economy back on track.
We launched an emergency effort to raise $20,000 to defend Gavin Newsom, but we're coming up $8,309 short. Can you chip in $5 or whatever you can to defend Newsom against these Trump-aligned attacks.

If we don't come to Newsom's aid immediately, it's possible that the recall effort catches steam. We can't afford to lose California to an anti-science, pro-Trump candidate.
We have a bit of a lead during this 30-day grace period, but only if we act now:
Chip in $5 -- or whatever you can afford -- to defend Gavin Newsom >>
Thank you,
