Friends, I wanted to give you a quick update about where we are in this campaign:
First, I’ll be frank -- I'm worried about the state of our party.
Our Democratic nominee has to be consistently telling the truth -- telling a better -- and realistic -- story about the future we can share together.
But there are too many important issues facing the American people today that my fellow candidates are choosing to ignore.
We need universal health care, but why would we force people off plans that they like? And why would we risk hospitals closing when Medicare for All lowers their reimbursement rates? And why would we ignore rural America when Trump’s trade policies have given us the opportunity to show that we can offer them a better economic future? When will we stop villainizing businesses and entrepreneurs and instead start focusing on helping workers AND businesses succeed in our economy? And why are Democrats risking four more years of Trump by putting forth half-baked plans that voters will see right through?
These truths are integral to winning back the White House next November.
I’m committed to continuing to stand by our platform -- but I need to know you stand with me. Will you show your support today by chipping in $15 right now?
I can attest that the best economic outcomes are achieved when the government, the private sector, and the nonprofit sector work well together.
We have to stop thinking in silos with “government-only” solutions, or “business-only” solutions, and we have to start living up to our full potential by embracing collaboration and common-sense solutions.
Collaboration plus common purpose equals progress.
This is what made America the world’s greatest superpower, and is what will keep our country prosperous and secure for our children and grandchildren.
Everything from health care reform, gun violence prevention, the opioid crisis, climate change, and the national debt can be addressed by real, common-sense solutions that we can implement if we work together.
Together, you and me, progressives, moderates, independents, even moderate Republicans... we can get the job done. That’s the solution.
This election is too important for us to get it wrong. Let’s not wake up on November 4th wishing we had done something differently. Let’s make real change today.
If you’re ready to be a part of the solution, then please chip in today →
