John,

Last night, I joined millions of Americans tuning in to watch the hearing
held by the House Select Committee on the January 6th Attack, and let me
tell you, I’m still fuming.

We heard some intriguing – and, at times, alarming – information last
night. Here are some things that stuck with me:

* President Trump publicly attacked the 2020 election results despite a
complete lack of evidence of fraud, entirely disregarding the pleas of
some of his lead advisors like Attorney General Bill Barr and Ivanka
Trump.
* Extremist groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers conspired in
the months leading up to the insurrection to plan an attack on the
Capitol.
* According to Rep. Liz Cheney’s remarks, the Committee’s next hearing
will show that President Trump led a large-scale campaign to spread
misinformation to convince Americans that the election was stolen. The
second hearing is set for next Monday, June 13, and I’m anxious to
hear the evidence.

But here’s the thing: We know that the extremist movement behind the
attack on our Capitol started well before January 6, 2021 – and it’s only
grown since then. RepresentUs isn’t going to sit on the sidelines while
our democracy is under attack. And, as a supporter of RepresentUs, I know
you won’t either.

Here's what we need right now: [ [link removed] ]Join the Common Wealth today by starting
a monthly gift and together, we’ll face these challenges head-on. And if
you begin your commitment before midnight on June 30, you’ll play a
critical role in ensuring we’re ready for anything.

In 2020, we were outspent by at least 10 to 1 by extremist organizations
like the Thomas More Society that are working to destabilize American
elections.^1 Their war chests have ballooned over the last two years and
their plans to contest future elections are moving ahead.

As I was watching the hearing yesterday, I couldn't help but think about
how authoritarian extremists are actively laying the groundwork to contest
the 2022 election. They’re spreading misinformation and lies to sow
distrust in our elections. And they’re working to accumulate power by
installing like-minded extremists in vacant election official positions –
positions held by dedicated public servants until extremists pushed them
out with harassment and threats of violence. And that’s just what they’re
sharing publicly.

We need to be ready if things get ugly. [ [link removed] ]But to do that, we need your
help. Will you join the Common Wealth by starting a monthly commitment by
June 30 to make sure we’re prepared?

The anti-democracy movement might have the bigger bankroll, but we have
you – and thousands of members of the Common Wealth who will help us scale
our response to match theirs. Thanks for being a part of the solution,
John. We couldn’t do it without you.

In solidarity,
