[1]Bowman for Congress

Hi John,

Recently, I've been saying something that seems to have caught the
attention of a lot of folks: "Joe Manchin is the new Mitch McConnell."
Today, I want to take a moment here to explain what I mean by that:

Back when President Obama first took office, Mitch McConnell vowed to do
everything in his power to stop his agenda. When President Biden took
office this past January, he renewed that vow — and now, lawmakers like
Joe Manchin are joining him in doing just that.

Both senators refuse to end the filibuster. Both refuse to pass the For
The People Act, which would be a critical first step in establishing fair
elections and making our government more accountable to the people. Both
continue to stand in the way of us accessing our potential as a democracy.
Manchin's current actions show us that he is just as bad as Republican
leaders like Mitch McConnell who are prepared to sabotage fundamental
democratic processes in order to hold and expand power at any cost.

Furthermore, this continued obstruction of social and economic progress
doesn't serve the American people, Republican or Democrat. It serves the
interests of corporations, billionaires, and the outrageously wealthy. Joe
Manchin may uphold our current political system, but the system is much
bigger than him.

I'm frustrated,
John. But no matter what, I'm
going to continue calling out all those who refuse to do the right thing
for our future. Because as elected officials, we have a firm
responsibility to bring the much-needed change our constituents voted us
in to execute. And if we do not deliver this change now, our party will
lose upcoming elections.

I'm committed to building my time and priorities in Congress around
legislating to save our democracy and to work towards a future where we
can all thrive. But I can't do it alone, and your support is critical to
our shared success.



[ [link removed] ]Unlike Joe Manchin, Mitch McConnell, and other establishment
politicians, I don't take a single dime from corporate PACs or lobbyists
to fuel my work. That's why I'm asking you for your support
today, John.
Will you please chip in $3 and support my leadership in
Congress?

To be honest,
John, your support right now
couldn't come at a better time. My team and I had a meeting about our
fundraising for this quarter the other day, and they told me that we need
to raise at least $10,000 over email by this upcoming Tuesday if we want
to keep pace with our fundraising goals for Q2 and ambitious plans for
this year and beyond.

[ [link removed] ]If you're able to chip in anything towards this goal, even $3, it'll
make an incredible difference to our movement, and it'll allow us to keep
on pushing.

But above all, we gotta get mobilized — because democracy is fragile, and
right now, ours is hanging by a thread. We must take full advantage of
this moment and to continue to demand change without compromise from our
Senate leaders, and urge them to reject the status quo.

Thanks for being in this fight with me,
John. Peace and love,

Jamaal Bowman
