Daily Kos has a plan to stop Republicans from gaining the majority in the House, and it involves you, Jack. We just passed 40,000 volunteer signups to contact millions of Democratic voters in targeted districts, and now we have to dig deep to hit our goal of 75,000.
We can't achieve our volunteer goals if we can't hit our monthly fundraising goal. We still need to raise $27,878 by the end of September. Please donate $5 to Daily Kos today.

It's been six years since Republicans last released a public platform, but they finally have rolled one out in advance of this year's elections. If you haven't heard too much about it, that's because there isn't much to it. Here's what you do need to know:
Ignore the fact the rollout used a video filled with Russian stock footage and a quote misattributed to Abraham Lincoln that actually came from a 1980 television ad for Lehman Brothers financial services firm (yes, the same financial firm that went bankrupt in 2008 due to the subprime mortgage crisis). Actually don't ignore that, do you really want a party that botches their platform rollout this badly governing our country?
Help us meet our fundraising goals so we can keep fighting to keep Republicans out of power. Please donate $5 to Daily Kos today.

The one-page memo lacks actual policy details, instead is filled with bumper sticker slogans and a lot of Trump. There are four overarching goals: creating “an economy that’s strong,” “a nation that’s safe,” “a future that’s built on freedom,” and “a government that’s accountable.” This can also be read as: tax cuts for the rich, immigrant-bashing, privatizing and cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and endless hours of “oversight” hearings about Hunter Biden, COVID-19 school closures, and even impeaching President Biden (why? Not really sure, but that doesn't matter to House Republicans).
Democrats hold the narrowest majority in the House. Flipping of just a few seats from blue to red could give Republicans the House and paralyze our federal government with waste of time hearings into conspiracy theories, a vote on national abortion ban policy, and debates about building Trump's stupid wall along the southern border.
We need to keep these idiots out of power. That's why we are recruiting at least 75,000 volunteers to contact millions of Democratic voters in targeted districts.
However, we can't achieve our volunteer goals if we can't hit our monthly fundraising goal. We still need to raise $27,878 by the end of September. Please donate $5 today.

Thanks for all you do,
