Exactly how do we plan on defeating Rand Paul? It’s a question we’ve been
getting a lot, even before Charles announced his run for the U.S. Senate.
We get it. The last time a Democrat won a U.S. Senate election in Kentucky
was in 1999. But it’s becoming increasingly clear that we have a real shot
at winning this race.
Similar to the movement we saw in Georgia in 2021, and in Kansas earlier
this year, there is significant evidence that huge shifts are happening in
our politics and that Kentucky is on track to make history in 2022.
We’ll dive into the details of our plans in just a moment. [ [link removed] ]We hope that
after reading you’ll chip in $5 or whatever you can toward
our $100,000 August fundraising goal so we can build the ambitious
grassroots organizing movement we need to reach out to voters in all 120
counties of Kentucky and end Rand Paul’s disastrous rule in office.

Let’s start by explaining the situation: The truth is there’s a long
history of voter suppression in our Commonwealth. As a result, the number
of people who don’t vote outnumber those who do. Black and brown
communities in particular have long been counted out in our elections.
Kentucky is also one of just a few states with a recently elected
Democratic governor and two Republican senators.
The
tides are turning.
Recently, Democrats (like Charles!) have seen success by building
campaigns that mobilize the people our politicians have ignored for too
long. From the hood to the holler, Charles is building a level of
excitement and enthusiasm we haven’t seen in decades. He isn’t afraid to
advocate for bold solutions to combat the climate crisis, police violence,
and income inequality. He’s a proven leader who knows what challenges
Kentuckians are going through because he’s been there himself. That’s
exactly the kind of candidate we need to defeat Rand Paul.
So here’s our plan to get Charles’ message out and what we’re doing right
now: We plan on running an ambitious field program to register voters,
show up for disenfranchised communities, and make sure all of our voices –
from the hood to the holler – are heard this election. But we’re just 10
weeks away from Election Day, and we have a lot of work to do.
That means we need to start investing ASAP in:
* Building a grassroots network of organizers
* Training volunteer coordinators
* Purchasing voter outreach tools
* Printing campaign literature
* Setting up a fund to pay for gas for our teams as they travel across
Kentucky
There are 120 counties in Kentucky and we want to invest in organizers and
volunteers in every single one of them so we can leverage our grassroots
power. We’re building the infrastructure we need to win, but we can’t do
it without you.
Here’s how you can help: Our campaign relies on
grassroots donations from people like you. That’s why our average donation
is only $23.81. If enough folks chip in, our donations amount to a
powerful movement, so we’re setting a goal to raise $100,000 before the
end of the month.
[ [link removed] ]Will you chip in $23.81 or anything you can to help us start building
the historic grassroots movement we need to elect Charles in just ten
weeks? We have the momentum and energy to defeat Rand Paul but it’s going
to take hard work from all of us to send Charles to the U.S. Senate —
starting with reaching this goal of $100,000 by midnight tomorrow.
In 10 weeks, we will shock the country, take a historic stand for
democracy, and defeat Rand Paul.
Let’s get to work.
