| Dear, GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter just pled guilty to a felony and will resign from Congress. The Islamophobic Trump stooge will soon be behind bars. There’s only one problem: disgraced former congressman and billionaire conspiracy theorist Darrell Issa is running to take Hunter’s place. Darrell Issa might be the one Republican who’s worse than Duncan Hunter -- but Issa just moved to this district, so voters don’t know him. And with his money, he might be able to buy this seat. We can’t let that happen. When he represented the 49th district, Darrell Issa used his position as Oversight Committee chair to push anti-Obama conspiracy theories like birtherism, to shame women who use birth control ... and the list goes on.(1) Now Issa thinks the 50th district is his for the taking. But not if voters know how extreme he is. When Courage Campaign helped flip seven seats from red to blue in 2018, Hunter only squeaked by with racist, Islamophobic attacks against progressive Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar. In 2020, we can help defeat Issa and elect Campa-Najjar with a Facebook ad on the page of every voter in the district, combined with a major expansion of one of the most effective tactics for getting out the vote: text messaging. Here's why text messaging is so effective: More and more people are screening their calls, and young people, especially, don't have landlines. And while 80% of emails are never even opened, 90% of text messages are read within five minutes. We can defeat Darrell Issa if voters know the truth about his right-wing record. Will you chip in? Yours in the fight for our democracy, Cailtin, along with Angela, Anne, Brian, Eddie, Deepthi, Gabby, Jay, Lindsay, Mary, Molly, Phillip, Raquel, Scottie, and Tai (the Courage team)  |
