Dear John:

We are at a pivotal moment in this country, and the coming year may well decide whether we can right the course of history.

Trump and the forces of the Right are actively trying to rig the conducting and counting of elections, state by state, as they create a frightening autocratic, post-truth society few would ever have thought possible in America.

The Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) has been alerting Americans to the warning signs and sounding the alarm for years, by investigating and exposing attacks on democracy and the strategies of dark money front groups and the powerful interests that fund them. An example: CMD was the first to expose ALEC—the American Legislative Exchange Council.

That’s why the watchdog work of CMD is so vitally important
and why I have joined their Board of Directors.

The fight to take back our democracy will be a long one, but it starts with unmasking the powerful special interests that have deformed American politics and poisoned our polity.

In Democracy in Chains, I revealed the Right’s decades-long stealth campaign to reverse-engineer America back to the days when the robber barons reigned supreme and rigged the legal and constitutional rules to work in their favor.

Their plan? To suppress majority rule through a multi-prong strategy to misinform the public on critical issues, hamstring unions, erect obstacles to voting, capture the courts, and shackle government powers in order to lock in their power permanently.

CMD is doing the hard work of exposing these ongoing machinations in real time, so that people like you have the information they need to fight back.

I could never have connected the dots as I did without CMD’s intrepid reporting,
and that's why I’m reaching out to you now!

Thanks to a $50,000 match, your year-end gift will go twice as far!

With growing alliances between the corporate right, Trump, and white nationalists, 2022 will see a flood of dark money to subvert free and fair elections, block Biden’s climate and economic justice agenda, and push for a constitutional convention aimed at crippling the federal government’s ability to protect working families, the environment, and equity for all.

CMD’s prize-winning investigations are needed now more than ever!

So please give generously! Your year-end, tax-deductible gift will help us to continue calling out the corporations now calling the shots.

Thank you for your kind support and wishing you all the best this holiday season.
