PFAW Member,

Election Day 2020 is exactly ONE YEAR FROM TODAY.

With Trump facing the biggest challenge of his presidency -- with an
impeachment inquiry that grows more popular by the day -- we're seeing a
preview of what we're going to get from him and his Republican allies all
throughout next year.

Trump and his right-wing enablers in Congress are going absolutely nuclear
with their attacks against critics, our democratic institutions, and our
constitutional mechanisms of accountability and checks and balances…

It’s his campaign playbook on steroids:

* Trump’s accusing congressional leaders of the impeachment inquiry like
Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff of TREASON with no basis
(accusing their critics of what they themselves are guilty of has been
a staple of Trump Republicans’ political strategy)…

* Trump is calling efforts to enforce the law and hold him accountable
for apparent egregious corruption “BULLSHIT” and, worse, a “COUP,”
claiming they are an attack on the country itself (authoritarian
rulers equate themselves with the state) and threatening that an
impeachment fight could even lead to “Civil War”…

* Trump is telling his supporters that efforts to uphold the rule of law
and get to the bottom of his and his administration’s wrongdoing are
an attack on them personally and their “rights” – including “their
VOTE, their Freedoms, their Second Amendment, Religion, Military…”

* And his surrogates are swarming the airwaves to attack progressives
and Democrats with ugly, outrageous lies – former Trump campaign
manager Corey Lewandowski told a Fox News host this week that
Democratic presidential hopefuls Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders
“want to have illegal aliens come across this border and kill
Americans.”

As you know, this is all INCREDIBLY dangerous and it's only going to get
worse. Now couple the incendiary rhetoric with the fact that the Trump
campaign and the Republican National Committee just reported raising a
staggering $125 million in the third quarter!

Democracy never needed defending more than it does right now, at this very
moment.

That’s why, with exactly one year until the 2020 election and so much work
to do between now and then, we set the ambitious goal of 100 new monthly
sustaining members -- PFAW Defenders of Democracy -- by the end of the
week ... and why I’m asking you as one of our top members to take the next
step now as part of the fight for a progressive future:

[ [link removed] ]Will you become a Defender of Democracy with a recurring monthly
donation to fund PFAW’s vital work all the way through Election Day 2020?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I will give $10, $20, $50, or any amount monthly to Defend
Democracy and restore the American Way>>

If a few bucks a month won’t break your budget, please know that it can do
a TREMENDOUS amount of good in the fight to save our democracy.

Our Defenders of Democracy are our best, most reliable supporters who
build the ongoing financial base that sustains our work all year round –
because Trump, his loyal allies, and the Radical Right are aggressively
trying to lay waste to the American Way 365 days a year (so we need to be
able to fight back 365 days a year).

Even a small amount each month will add up over the year and will be vital
to:

* Protect the impeachment inquiry and expose the Trump administration
for the corrupt, lawless enterprise that it is to the whole country –
engaged progressives already know the truth, but there are a lot of
voters we can still get.

* Keep up the fight to save our democracy from voter suppression, big
money in politics, and corruption.

* Defend free speech and expression, equality for all, the independence
of our judicial branch, and the other core American principles under
daily assault by Trump and the Radical Right.

* And, then, hold Trump Republicans accountable up and the down the
ballot in 2020 – together, we will:

* TAKE BACK the White House;

* END Mitch McConnell’s Senate Majority;

* HOLD the House;

* FLIP Republican-held state legislatures;

* And elect a DEEP BENCH of winning progressive champions at every
level of government…

Are you in?
