Hi John,

​I am the only candidate in this race with an unapologetic vision of housing, healthcare, and a healthy climate for all. Can you support me with a quick donation right now, so I can fight for this vision in Congress?​

I found out something ludicrous recently.

You know the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II — the plane famous for having a projected lifetime cost of $1.7 trillion despite its poor performance and constant delays?

Turns out it can’t fly in lightning.

Yes, you read that correctly: the “Lightning” can’t fly in lightning. At one point, it couldn’t even fly within 25 miles of lightning.

The Texas-made plane has also, at various times, been unable to fly in cold weather or shoot straight, and it even has trouble flying in the rain. Poor flightless bird.

Somehow, despite all this wasteful spending, conservatives say we don’t have money for climate change and childcare. Hmm…

We absolutely do have the money. We’re the richest country on Earth, yet 1 in 6 kids goes hungry here. 550,000 people are homeless. We have a lower life expectancy and worse health outcomes than other wealthy nations, despite spending much more on healthcare.

These problems are fixable. But it will take grassroots candidates who aren’t corrupted by corporate money to fight for them, and that’s why I need your help. Please donate $7 or whatever you can afford to help me win my election, so I can fight for you — not corporations — in Congress:
