We are sending you this special message on behalf of our friends
at Team Rubicon, who are working day and night to help resettle
Afghan refugees and could use your help and support.

John,
Scott and I have been deeply troubled as we learned of the
disaster in Afghanistan. It is painful to watch and read the
news.
When he was Governor, Scott visited Kabul and the Bagram Airfield
to see the troops before Christmas. The images of the Taliban
rushing in to take over the country while American citizens,
allies, and those who worked with our military were trying to get
out hit home.
It is horrible how the Biden Administration messed up. Thousands
have fled the abuse of the Taliban. Many of them are right here
in Wisconsin at Fort McCoy. Most of them came here with little
more than their clothes when they got on a plane.
Without a doubt, Scott has raised concerns about the vetting
process. But, of course, we all want to be sure that we know who
is here and that they are legitimate refugees.
We also know that so many of the people who fled Afghanistan were
fearful of persecution. Many of them because they assisted our
military personnel and others because they are Christians. They
need our help. We want to tell you about one organization that
is leading efforts to provide relief to them.
Team Rubicon is a veteran-led nonprofit organization that
utilizes the skills and experiences of military veterans with
first responders to deploy emergency response teams rapidly.
Founded in 2010, Team Rubicon has deployed across the United
States and worldwide to provide immediate relief to those
impacted by disasters and humanitarian crises.
Team Rubicon has the highest scores on Charity Navigator (5 out
of 5 stars) and Charity Navigator (A rating). In addition to
helping at Fort McCoy, they prioritize needs in locations
dictated by the U.S. Department of State and Department of
Defense. Their humanitarian and disaster response work is 100%
fueled by donations and carried out by veteran-led teams of
volunteers.
If you'd like to join us in helping our Afghan allies, you can

Thank you for taking the time to consider this vital work. We
wish the Biden Administration had done better planning before
they pulled our troops out of Afghanistan.
So many of these people were there for our troops when they
needed help and support. They need our help.
I appreciate your consideration. May God bless our men and women
in uniform, and may God continue to bless America.
