John, did you get a chance to read about this race?

As the nature of the 2024 races start to clear up a bit, one thing has become even more crystal clear: We must elect Ruben Gallego to the U.S. Senate seat in Arizona.

We do not yet know if turncoat Kyrsten Sinema is going to run, but we have to raise resources in the expectation she will. And on the other side is democracy-attacking fascist, Kari Lake, who has expressed interest in this race even though she has yet to admit she lost the last one.

Can you please join us in giving $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can to this "Marine, Latino...with a record of standing up for working people." He's what we always wish our Senators would be. 

I can tell you why Ruben Gallego is great, as I've done before, but I'll let him tell you about himself. This is from a recent email of his:

Impulsive, emotional decisions are out of character for me.

I am the guy who had a four-year plan to get into Harvard even though my family was dirt poor. So I thought long and hard about the decision to run for the United States Senate.

I prepared for it long before the possibility of Senator Sinema’s party switch. I came to the conclusion that as a Marine, a Latino, and someone with a record of standing up for working people, we can build a coalition that can win a 2-way race, 3-way race, 27-way race…doesn’t matter.

The only open question was whether the grassroots support would be there. And I thought it would be. So far, I’ve been right.

 

 

We have an exceptional candidate who's progressive as hell in a swing state, Arizona, turning blue. If Gallego does great in 2024, so will President Biden. The President must win this state, one of his closest contests in '20, and Gallego must win if we're to hold our Senate majority.

So can you please join us in giving $5, $10, $25 or whatever you can to this "Marine, Latino...with a record of standing up for working people." He's what we always wish our Senators would be. 

Thanks for fighting for a great candidate and a great person,

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. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

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.
