 Friend, Overview (a 5-second scan): • Russian disinformation campaigns have hyperpolarized America Read the full story (a 53-second read): Today, the democratic institutions and traditions we hold most dear are in peril. It's clear now that a Russian foreign influence operation was not only intended to alter the outcome of our 2016 presidential election, but it was also designed to hyperpolarize America -- to cleave deep divisions by inciting social, cultural, and political tensions. The impact is felt both here at home -- and in Washington, D.C. Fueled by highly-targeted online disinformation campaigns, our politics are seen more frequently through a zero-sum lens -- and members of opposing parties are increasingly viewed as traitors to their country. As a result, the ability to compromise -- a crucial element in a functioning democracy -- breaks down. That's not the view of America that Dean sees, however. Dean lives his message -- that everyone's invited. He sees our diversity of thought as a strength, not a weakness. He not only allows vigorous debate; he welcomes it. And, he's fighting for you now. Alongside members of the House, he has supported an election security package intended to protect our elections from foreign interference. After all, that's why you sent him to Washington -- to restore faith in American government, to protect our democratic institutions, and to welcome good ideas -- no matter where they come from.
