Dear John,

Well, we did it. We stayed on the path no matter the obstacles right-wing cranks, Republican operatives, an enabling mainstream media, an oft-vapid culture, corrupt judges and foreign adversaries put in our way. 

Last night we--YOU--re-elected Senator Raphael Warnock, gaining a crucial seat for Democrats. So that we put this in historical perspective, this was the first time a President didn't lose a Senate seat during their first term since Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1934. Incredible.

And we did this while billionaire weirdos like Peter Thiel were sending tens of millions of dollars into states to elect their vassal candidates, buying Twitter to tweet out crazy-uncle-at-Thanksgiving conspiracy theories and generally do all they could to stop us. 

But this list, this community, stepped up and donated over $480,000 to Democratic candidates and other progressive organizations to make this happen. WOW.

Why did Democrats sweep everything in states like Michigan and Minnesota? Run the table on statewide races in states like Pennsylvania and Arizona? Hold onto and/or win multiple swing congressional seats in states like Virginia and Ohio? Stay within a few seats in the House so we might have a say in who's chosen as Speaker?

That was because you guys--grassroots Democrats--realized what was at stake, had enough of being bullied by a minority and bucked history. I've rarely been a part of something so amazing. So I just want to take a moment to thank every one of you. To remind you that everyone makes a difference, and, collectively, nobody can stop us. 

We'll be in touch--albeit a bit less often--as the holidays approach, but I wanted to take this opportunity to say Happy Holidays! And, again, Thank You! My two boys are being raised in this country, and I feel a lot more hopeful about that fact than I did just a few months ago. 

Enjoy your holidays and take a bow. You earned it!

Cliff

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.
