John, I admit it, I was surprised when he said “Politics is f*@ked,” out loud.

But it’s completely true.

Whether it’s the unfolding banking crisis, the poisonous clouds over East Palestine, OH, our kids’ education, our parents’ healthcare, or any other issue you care about, our corrupt system is at the root of the problem and fixing it is the solution.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to get on stage with actor and pro-democracy superstar Ed Helms to deliver a keynote address on how we got here and what we can do about it. It’s funny and entertaining, but provocative and impassioned.

Will you watch my keynote address and share it? We need as many people as possible to understand the problem and join the movement to help with the solution.

I got on that stage to ask all of America — conservatives and progressives alike — to be part of our winning strategy and join our winning movement. Please help me reach them.

Our political system is dysfunctional. Politicians spend all of their time fundraising. Lobbyists and special interests game the system to advance their agendas. The two-party duopoly breeds gridlock and extremism.

You know it and you’re already part of the solution. Our more than 170 anti-corruption wins for Team Democracy prove it. City by city, state by state we're chipping away at the root cause of this dysfunction.

We know *you* get it. What we really need is for our neighbors and friends to get it, too. We need to reach a tipping point where this change goes from improbable to inevitable.

That's why I need you to share our hopeful message. Watch and share this video from my talk with Ed Helms where we break down what we can do right now to fight corruption and fix our broken political system.

This is a fight that we can win. It may take years, decades, or even generations, but our democracy is too valuable to let slide. But I fight this fight every day because I believe that we can build a movement powerful enough to fix so much of what’s broken.

A systemic problem needs a systemic solution – you can be a part of it, and I’m so grateful for all you do.
