[1]Beto for America

John,

When we say this campaign is all people, no PACs, we mean it. It’s not
some gimmick or catchphrase. It’s the right way of doing things, and the
only way we can truly make sure we put power back into the hands of the
people. 

But to be completely honest — it’s not easy. Grassroots fundraising is
hard work, especially when we’re trying to meet a critical deadline (like
we are now to qualify for the November debate). So when we heard that Joe
Biden went back on his no super PACs pledge and decided to encourage
billionaires to form a super PAC to bankroll his campaign — you could say
we were frustrated...and concerned!



Let’s be very clear: super PACs exist so corporations and special
interests can spend unlimited money. And you don’t spend unlimited money
unless you’re hoping to gain influence. [ [link removed] ]We’re competing against more
big money than ever before in this race and we need your help so we can
stay competitive in our fundraising. Will you chip in $3
and help us raise $200,000 before the end of the month?

We knew that our decision to be a grassroots-funded campaign would make it
difficult for us to financially compete with other candidates.

But we also know that candidates taking money from super PACs undermines
our democracy and hinders us from fighting for real change. 

Campaigns don’t give up on their values because they feel confident about
where they’re going. They change course because they’re scared. Scared of
losing, sure, but scared of losing to grassroots-funded campaigns. Yes,
it’s corrosive that billionaires and lobbyists can use super PACs to help
nudge their preferred candidates along. But it’s also saying something:
grassroots donations matter. And they’re working.  

We’re fighting to do what it takes to put people — regardless of wealth
and influence — back at the heart of our politics. We’re taking a stand
against the corruption and greed that has influenced our elections.

[ [link removed] ]Help us win this the right way, and show our competitors how powerful
grassroots donors can be: Chip in $3 or anything you can
now.

We don’t need a super PAC. All we need is you. 

– Team Beto
