[ [link removed] ]Winning America's Heartland
John,

Every once in a while, we like to go back to basics and remind you all –
and ourselves – why we started No Dem Left Behind in the first place.

You see, we were sick and tired of watching the Democratic Party cede more
and more ground to the Radical Right simply because some bean-counter with
a spreadsheet said it was “more efficient” for Democrats to spend all of
their campaign resources in big cities and pricey close-in suburbs because
“that’s where Democrats live.”

Some of us are old enough to remember an America where hardworking rural
and working-class folks were almost synonymous with the labor movement and
yes, Democrats! A time when America’s Heartland was filled with strong
Democratic leaders like Sam Rayburn, Lyndon B. Johnson, Tom Daschle, Harry
Reid, Robert Byrd, Claire McCaskill, Dick Gephardt, Tom Harkin, Blanche
Lincoln, and many more.

We here at No Dem Left Behind strongly believe it’s time for Democrats to
return to our rural and working-class roots and let folks in “flyover
country” know that they’re just as important to us as urban and suburban
voters.

Look, we Democrats are supposed to be the party of the working people, and
the fact is, nobody works harder than people trying to get by in today’s
rural and working-class towns.

Whether it’s the farmer trying to keep her family’s little patch of land
from being eaten up by corporate ag, the construction worker who drives
two hours each way to the nearest boomtown for work each day because
that’s where all the jobs are, the middle-aged dad working at Walmart
because that’s all that was left in town after the factory closed, or the
small business owner who worries herself to sleep at night about her
shrinking customer base and her bottom line, these people wake up each day
and take on challenges that could crush anybody.

These folks deserve for Democrats to have their backs … and they deserve
for us to offer them a vision of hope and progress as an alternative to
the relentless fear- and anger-based narrative of the Radical Right.

No Dem Left Behind has a plan to make that happen, but we can’t do it
without your help.

in any amount today?

[ [link removed] ]Join the Fight!

Your contribution will help us fund and empower rural organizers where
they live to reach their family, friends and neighbors with messaging that
offers a better path forward.

It will also help support strong Democratic candidates in rural and
working-class districts so we can protect and expand our House and Senate
majorities, overcome the filibuster, and begin making a difference in the
lives of all Americans.

Party has left them behind:
