Friend,
On January 6th, 2021, armed insurrectionists stormed the
United States Capitol in an attempted coup. I hid in my colleague's
office while countless other members of the House and Senate hid in
closets, bathrooms, and offices. Police officers were attacked, shots
were fired, and people lost their lives. The traitorous confederate
flag entered the Capitol building for the first time ever, and nothing
less than our democracy was on the line that
day.
But this last weekend, just one year later,
the Republican Party declared that it was "legitimate political
discourse."
Disagreeing about how much money to
invest in infrastructure is legitimate political discourse. Debates
about how we best lift families out of poverty and ensure the American
dream is available to everyone is legitimate political discourse. But
a violent insurrection isn't -- and we cannot allow anyone who thinks
it is to serve in our government.
I started Blue Momentum PAC in 2016 with the goal of electing
Democrats to Congress. That work was critical then, but it's taken on
new meaning now that Republicans have become a party that believes a
coup is "legitimate political discourse."
Will
you chip in $250, $100, $50, $25, or whatever you're able right now to
help make sure that when voters head to the polls in November, they
know what the Republican party stands for?
