John,

Hope this message finds you well, and that things where you are make a little more sense than they do in Washington, DC.? Today, we learned that Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy plans to oppose the creation of an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol complex.? This move is a selfish betrayal of the members, staff, and police who were traumatized that day -- not to mention everyone else watching at home.? Our nation deserves a full accounting of what happened so we can do everything in our power to ensure it never happens again.

You and I know this wasn't just an attack on a building.? January 6th was an assault on American democracy itself.? Our allegiance to the country, particularly in the wake of an insurrection,?must?always supersede our politics, parties, or presidents.? That's just one reason I've been so outspoken despite the threats and vitriol coming my way.

All of us deserve the definitive truth, and so does history.? Kevin already knows how I feel about this, but he needs to hear it from all of us: "The truth shall set you free."? And sure, I get that the truth may be uncomfortable for some people.? But how can we ask the brave men and women in our military to risk life and limb to defend our constitution, if we aren't willing to risk a job or a little discomfort to do the same?

It is with that spirit that I appeared on Meet the Press to speak about the importance of truth and the future of the Republican Party:

Finally, we released a new episode of our podcast Country First Conversations featuring former Congressman Denver Riggleman on the topic of conspiracy theories and disinformation.? This was one of my favorite episodes to record, so I hope you enjoy listening to it just as much.? You can find it, and all of our other episodes, here (just click on the podcast platform of your choice once you get to the page): www.country1st.com/podcast

That's it for now.? We've got some great projects in the works that certainly give me more hope for our nation's future, so I'm excited to share them with you soon.

Country First,

Adam

PS: In case I don't say it enough, "thank you!"? So many of you reply to these emails with amazing words of encouragement, prayers, ideas, and feedback.? I just want to let you know that I truly appreciate the moral and financial support you've given our movement during this difficult time for our republic.? Your passion for making our country better really does inspire me to keep going.
