John,
I really need your help.
You see, when I joined No Dem Left Behind PAC as their Spokesman, I did it because I believed – and still believe! – that rural and working-class Americans AREN’T a lost cause. That with the right message and the right messenger, Democratic candidates and progressive ideas can win in America’s Heartland, and that when they do, rural and working-class Americans win, too.
Like I said, I STILL believe that!
But I’m starting to wonder if I’m the only one.
Here’s the thing: contributions are way down this month, so much so that I’m starting to seriously worry whether we’re going to make it to the midterms. It’s that bad.
And you know what? I don’t get it. I really don’t. Not with all that’s at stake this year!
If we don’t expand our Senate majority by at least two votes this November, you can forget about any of this happening:
- Saving Roe v. Wade and our right to choose from being stripped away by an out-of-control, radicalized, Trump-stacked Supreme Court.
- Passing meaningful action on gun safety reform to keep weapons of war out of the hands of children and the violently unstable.
- Stopping GOP-run state legislatures all around the country from rolling back the rights and protections that minorities and LGBTQ+ folks fought so hard for decades to win.
- Getting rid of the filibuster so we can actually make progress on President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda and all the other issues we care about.
In fact, if we don’t show up in force for this year’s midterms, the very survival of our democracy is at stake – because Trump and the Republicans have already begun enacting their plan to install Trump-loyal supporters of The Big Lie in electoral oversight positions nationwide so they can simply overturn elections when they don’t like the results!
Look, we’ve got to protect and expand our House and Senate majorities at the ballot box this year – no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
But to do that, we’ve got to flip some battleground seats BLUE, and for that to happen, we’ve got to SHOW UP in the rural and working-class communities that were once the backbone of our party, but now feel left behind.
Look, there’s no time like right now to take our message of hope and progress to rural and working-class Americans and change hearts and minds about the Democratic Party.
People are plain wore out from the last few years of pandemic and protests and shortages and inflation and everything else. We all want solutions, and the only folks offering them are Democrats.
“Build Back Better” would be a BOON for rural and working-class Americans, giving them good, high-paying jobs, cleaner air and water, safer schools, more affordable childcare, expanded access to critical technology, and so much more.
Meanwhile, anybody with any kindness or decency is FED UP with the radical whackjobs in the GQP spreading lies and hate while blocking every piece of legislation meant to help ordinary folks through these trying times.
There is NO TIME LIKE NOW for Democrats to make our case to rural and working-class voters – to sell them on ideas like …
- A mandatory living wage
- Paid parental leave
- Cleaner air and water
- Well-paying green union jobs
- Public funding for community college and trade school
- Expanded access to affordable health care
- Common-sense gun safety reforms that respect the 2nd Amendment while keeping guns away from unsupervised kids and would-be criminals
- Protection of our fundamental civil rights, including the right to vote, the right to choose, and the right to be who you are and love who you love 🏳️🌈…
… and all the other great plans we have to make life better for everyone.
I want nothing more than to bring this message of hope to my rural and working-class brothers and sisters alongside our endorsed candidates as we approach the 2022 midterms.
But I can’t do it alone.
John, will you RUSH $20.22 or whatever you can afford to No Dem Left Behind PAC today?
 
Your contribution will help get us back on track so we can reach, activate, and mobilize rural and working-class voters in key states and districts and flip America’s Heartland BLUE by Election Day.
The 2022 midterms are coming up FAST, and we still have SO MUCH work to do – but we need your help to do it.
If you still believe, as I do, that America’s Heartland is worth fighting for, I hope you’ll rush your $20.22 contribution today.
If you can’t afford that much, then whatever you can do – even just a few dollars – will help.
Your past support enabled us to help defeat Trump in 2020 and eke out a tiny advantage in the Senate. We did good work, but the fight’s not over yet.
I hope you still believe in our mission, because I’m counting on you to come through for us today.
Sappers clear the way, Airborne all the way!
-- Richard
