John,

We have expanded the playing field and just like that there's a new Senate race we can win!!

You may not have heard about this race because nobody gave Democrat, Admiral Mike Franken, a chance. He's running against Chuck Grassley, you see, who may have been in Washington since the automobile was invented.

(Okay, Grassley’s only been in the Senate since 1981. But still.)

Will you please join us by giving $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can afford to help retire Chuck Grassley (FINALLY!) and send Admiral Mike Franken to the U.S. Senate?

 

But Grassley's changed over that time. He was in on Donald Trump's plot to overthrow our government--tweeting out on January 6th that he'd be certifying the electoral votes, not the Vice President. It was a lie. He claimed that the Affordable Care Act would "create death panels" and "pull the plug on grandma," the kind of dishonest garbage you'd expect from Alex Jones, not a longtime Senator.

Grassley consistently repeats right-wing conspiracies like the one that led to the attempted assassination of Nancy Pelosi (and nearly got her husband, Paul, killed). And he wants to suppress voting rights, which sadly is consistent with the shameful blemish attached to his name for all eternity--his vote against making Martin Luther King, Jr. day a federal holiday in the 1980s. 

Mike Franken achieved the incredible distinction of becoming an admiral by not betraying his country like Grassley, but defending it. It seems Iowans have caught on, as the latest Des Moines Register poll has Mike within 3 points of Grassley, trailing 46%-43% with likely voters. Within the margin of error!

All of the major prognosticators have moved the race to a pure toss-up. Grassley is unpopular with Iowans, with Two-thirds believing he’s too old (89) to be running for another 6-year term. Franken. Can. Win. This. Race.

Can you please join us by giving $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can afford to help retire Chuck Grassley (FINALLY!) and send Admiral Mike Franken to the U.S. Senate?

Thank you, my friends, for continuing to fight right up to the election.

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country
