| Dear Friend, Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter has been indicted on 60 counts of conspiracy and wire fraud. He barely won reelection last year, and he's one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the entire Congress in 2020. Now Duncan Hunter been caught sending out a racist campaign mailer smearing his opponent, Ammar Campa-Najjar.(1) It's a vicious, Trump-style attack that falsely links Campa-Najjar, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib to anti-semitism and terrorism. This is a critical test of whether racism and white supremacy can continue to win in America. Courage Campaign helped power the blue wave in 2018 with hundreds of thousands of phone calls, text messages, and door-knocks to get out the vote, and with your help we can keep it going in 2020. Will you donate $5? Yes, I'll donate $5 to help defeat indicted criminal, Islamophobe, and Trump-backer Duncan Hunter. The latest campaign mailer contains the same racist, Islamophobic rhetoric Hunter has peddled for years. (In fact, Campa-Najjar is Christian.) Hunter was one of the first Republicans to endorse Trump in 2016 and has voted with him 100% of the time in this Congress.(2) He's way out of step with the voters of San Diego on issues like protecting immigrants' rights and the environment. Because of big-money campaign contributions and name recognition, Hunter has been reelected time and again in his Republican-leaning district. Last year he even eked out a win after he and his wife were charged with misusing $250,000 of his campaign funds. But now we have a huge opportunity to win this seat back. Hunter's wife is cooperating with prosecutors. A judge just refused to drop the case and says the trial is on for September.(3) The district has been trending away from Republicans for years, and the smears against Campa-Najjar show how desperate Hunter has become. Courage Campaign helped power the blue wave in 2018 with our on-the-ground get-out-the-vote work, and we can keep it going by defeating Duncan Hunter in 2020. Will you donate $5 to help defeat indicted Islamophobe Duncan Hunter? Yours in the fight for our democracy, Eddie, along with Analeeza, Annie, Brenna, Caitlin, Diego, Gabby, Lindsay, Mai, Mary, Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage team) Footnotes:  |
