Roll Call reports: "The Progressive Change Campaign Committee is calling
on Speaker Nancy Pelosi to denounce what it called misinformation
campaigns funded by AIPAC, cryptocurrency PACS and the pharmaceutical
industry."

Bernie called out one such group in an email to PCCC members, writing
"this super PAC is backing Republican members of Congress who voted to
overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election."

NBC News quotes the PCCC on the stakes if this doesn't stop: "The
Democratic Party is going to lose in 2022 and beyond if the establishment
remains silent as corporate interests try to throttle dynamic young
leaders and prop up those most likely to oppose a popular agenda."

Take a stand and make clear that anyone who is part of corporate
dark-money misinformation ads are persona non grata with Democrats in
Congress and the DCCC. Sign here.

The Guardian reports that AIPAC's dark-money super PAC "has also spent
$1.2m to protect the Texas Democratic congressman, Henry Cuellar, who
faces a run-off later next week against Jessica Cisneros, a 28-year-old
immigration lawyer who is endorsed by members of the Squad." Cuellar is
the last anti-choice Democrat in the House, and he is under FBI
investigation!

These groups don't run ads on the issues they purport to care about --
such as Israel, low corporate taxes, and slashing business regulations.
Instead, they falsely accuse popular progressive candidates of being bad
Democrats. This is a rich accusation from corporate-funded groups like
AIPAC that "went Full Trump" and endorsed over 30 pro-insurrection
Republican members of Congress.

But disingenuous as they are, their misinformation campaigns have a
devastating impact. Summer Lee had a 25-point lead just weeks before the
primary this past Tuesday. Then, a dark-money campaign spent millions
spreading misinformation and turned the race into a nail-biter. Two
progressives in North Carolina lost races after corporate dark money
groups spent $7 million on misinformation campaigns against them.

Many Democratic leaders, consultants, and agencies have cozy relationships
with the groups spending these millions of dollars of dark money trying to
stop progressive candidates.

Speaker Pelosi and other House Democratic leaders need to take a stand and
make clear that anyone who is part of these corporate dark-money
misinformation ads are persona non grata with Democrats in Congress and
the DCCC.

Our government relations team -- P Street, the progressive alternative to
K Street -- will share your support for this with Speaker Pelosi and other
House Democratic leaders, the media, and key allies in Congress.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
