John --
One of the frustrating things about working with liars is they have
zero trouble doubling down when confronted with the
truth.
And while the current news cycle presents a perfect example of this
in Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, I'm talking more about the
loudest voices pushing Donald Trump's conspiracies and lies: Reps.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Madison Cawthorn, Lauren Boebert, and Matt
Gaetz.
These leaders are disastrous for America and Congress because they
epitomize the toxic tribalism and partisan extremism that's tearing
down our institutions and tearing apart our country. They'd rather
chase fame than solve problems -- which wouldn't be so bad if they
weren't undermining our republic in the process.
And that's why I'm announcing a huge investment in
unseating these most toxic members of Congress in the primary
elections.
Conventional wisdom would tell you that these incumbents can't be
defeated in safe Republican districts... and if we were using the
typical playbook, that'd be true. But our bold, first-of-its-kind
strategy is to activate Democrats, Independents, and Disaffected
Republicans to show up and vote them out IN THE PRIMARY. After all,
so few Americans vote in the primaries that a small shift can have a
HUGE impact on the outcome.
We've done the math and this can work, but we must have the
resources to blanket these districts with direct mail, text messaging,
ads, and grassroots outreach. Our plan is in place, and we're ready
to execute it. There's two ways you can help (no
matter where in the U.S. you live):
We have a strong foundation in place, and there's a lot of great
work yet to be done! Thank you to everyone who has lent support of
any kind (moral, financial, or both) to this cause. I know our kids
and grandkids will thank us one day for refusing to accept today's
politics as the new normal.
And finally, on a different note, I want to share an update on our
movement's support of the Ukrainian people. Thanks to the generosity
of our members, Country First has donated $50,000 to Nova Ukraine,
$25,000 to the Ukraine Freedom Project, and earlier this week $15,000
to Ripley's
Heroes. Beyond support of refugees, the funds are
also being used to purchase an ambulance, body armor, and aerial
surveillance equipment.
Country First takes pride in identifying groups in Ukraine that are
daring to work miracles, yet are not part of a major, well-heeled
organization. We will continue looking for opportunities to help the
Ukrainian people and I'll always give credit where it's due: the
incredible Americans who bring this movement to life. Thank you!
Country First,
Adam
