Alek for Oregon

John,

If I can't tell this story to voters in my district, I'm going to lose my race.

It would be bad for not just Southwest Oregon, but for the country if I lost on November 8th. Becuase I think people have had enough of this one party leadership that's obviously taken us down the wrong path.

It was Friday, August 21, 2015. I boarded train #9364 in Brussels, bound for Paris. My plans were simple and spirits were high. I was on vacation with my two best friends after completing a tour in Afghanistan as a U.S. soldier.

But someone we didn’t expect boarded the train that day too, and he would change our lives forever.

Ayoub El-Khazzani, an ISIS terrorist emerged from the bathroom, bare-chested and armed with a box cutter, an assault rifle, a jar of gasoline, and 270 rounds of ammunition attempted to take over and kill more than 500 passengers.

And he would have succeeded, except he didn’t know three proud Americans were aboard and ready to fight like hell. I tapped my friend on the shoulder and said: ‘Let’s go.’

As a soldier, I was trained to take out a terrorist threat - As an American, I was taught to stand up for freedom no matter where I was in the world. Which is why I, my friends and other brave travelers took the action needed to stop this terrorist.

In just a moment, I am going to ask you to donate $3 to my campaign for Congress, in honor of the seventh anniversary of the Thalys train attack. But first, you need to understand why we need an American fighter like myself in Washington.

Right now, our homeland is in danger. Not from radical Islamic terrorists, but radical Democrats who want to fundamentally alter the fabric of this GREAT nation. Leftist legislation is assaulting our Nation, our communities, and the American Dream.

Right now, Democrats are…

Opening and destroying our borders. They are granting dangerous amnesty that have and will continue to flood every corner of America.

Raising our taxes like we have never seen, and making common goods like gas and groceries unaffordable.

Indoctrinating the American people with their woke, Leftist ideology

Teetering on the edge of dangerous foreign policy crises

These power-hungry Democrat elitists like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden don’t care about the people they represent. They only care about their own radical agenda, and my opponent, Val Hoyle will be another one of their foot soldiers.

The Biden Democrats' grip on power in Washington is seriously undermining our freedom, prosperity, and security. The only way to pull America out of this leftist tailspin is by taking back the House THIS November. We need a fighter in Congress, John and I hope that hearing my story proves to you that I am the man for the job.

Send a Fighter to Congress ➞
My life’s mission has always been to represent the America I know and love – the world’s bastion of freedom and economic prosperity. I am taking that mission and putting it into action by running for Congress, by fighting for my neighbors and their wellbeing in Washington.

This will not be an easy road, which is why I am reaching out to you. I will need the financial support of every American patriot; every single dollar will help. Can I count on you to join my team with a donation of $7 – to mark my seventh anniversary of thwarting a terrorist attack?

God Bless,
Alek Skarlatos
