Friend,
Did you see Ted Cruz's op-ed in the Wall Street Journal a couple weeks ago?
In a message to "woke" CEOs, he wrote: "When the time comes that you need help with a tax break or a regulatory change, I hope the Democrats take your calls, because [Republicans] may not. Starting today, we won't take your money either."
Senator Cruz's line of thinking is one that's all too common on Capitol Hill: that corporations should be able to buy access to lawmakers and call them up whenever they need a law to work in their favor.
But with you, Dean, and countless others across America, we're moving our politics in a different direction -- one where members of Congress actually serve the people they represent, not corporate donors trying to buy influence.
If you still stand with Dean, chip in $5 or whatever you can by midnight. Your donation will fuel us up for Dean's reelection campaign and get you a ticket to our first-ever Morning Coffee & Concert event tomorrow, featuring special musical guests!

Dean is the only member of Congress who doesn't accept a dime in PAC money. That means corporate PAC dollars. No fellow lawmakers' PAC dollars. No PACs, period—which Senator Cruz certainly can't say. (According to Cruz's own op-ed, he's taken $2.6 million in contributions from corporate PACs!)
This means we need to do some aggressive fundraising to compete with the GOP's dark money machine -- especially now that the National Republican Congressional Committee has named Dean a top target to beat in the midterms.
We're betting on optimism over fear and people over PACs, and we hope you'll join us -- literally:
Chip in to Dean's campaign today, then join us Saturday morning for a celebration of political progress with performances by Jeremy Messersmith, Guster's Ryan Miller, and rising star Allie McIntosh (plus remarks from Dean himself).
