So many people responded to my note yesterday about the hate mail we’ve been getting here at Public Citizen.
As the president of this organization — and the target of some of these attacks — I can’t thank you enough for standing with us as we continue standing up to plutocracy and fascism.
My earlier message is copied below in case you missed it.
In solidarity,

We get a lot of hate mail at Public Citizen.
Here are just a few examples:
- “I will kill you without remorse.”
- “What is really sad is that no one has killed the twisted morons at Public Citizen.”
- “The cops should beat you all within an inch of your lives.”
- “You all deserve a bullet.”
- “I would rip you apart limb from limb if given the chance.”
- “You will be begging God for forgiveness in the end but it will be too late.”
- “We will eradicate scum like Public Citizen.”
- “Your head will be on a pike when this is over.”
- “The FBI should lock you up and anyone who supports you.”
- “Too bad they didn’t abort all you traitor Nazi liberals.”
- “Should have guessed you’re a f---ing Jew.”
While I certainly wish we didn’t have to face comments — and the threats implicit in them — like these, I do think it’s important to take note of the vitriol directed at the work you and Public Citizen are doing together.
Of course, we have no intention whatsoever of backing down.
And I’m hoping I can count on you to help give Public Citizen the financial strength we need as we continue standing up to plutocracy and fascism.

P.S. If donating today is not a good fit, that’s okay. I hope you’ll understand that I need to ask now and again — especially at this time of year — so we have the resources to carry out all the essential work you and Public Citizen are doing together.
