This Monday morning

Hi John,  This Monday morning, I’ll be looking at our campaign bank account to see how much we raised over the prior week. That will determine how much I can continue to grow the campaign in March. There are specific things I need to invest in to win this race. If you do not want to hear about this…

Heading out

Hi John,  I’m heading out to drive for DoorDash for a couple hours and am hoping to see our campaign's daily goal met when I get home tonight. Can you help with that by giving $3 now?  Corporate Democrats are blaming everyone but themselves for their low polling numbers. The truth is that Democrats…

Deeply concerning

Hi John,   Republicans’ attacks on democracy and Democrats’ failure to hold them accountable is deeply concerning. We need to protect voting rights, guarantee the right to vote, get mail-in ballots across the country, and enact ranked-choice voting.   We need to get corporate …

Reaching voters

Hi John,  Healthcare, housing, and jobs for all: we have the money. What we lack is the political will to make these policies happen. I’m running to combine a seat in Congress with direct action to fight for those policies, but first I need your help to win. Please chip in now, if you can. Thank yo…

inflation

it’s corporate greedHi John,  ==> I’m still short of my recurring donations goal. Can you set up a $3 monthly donation, so I can hire more team members? Thank you! <==  Corporate politicians are telling us how wonderful the economy is. Weird, when I go to the gas pump and pay over $4 a gallon…

$200 monthlyHi John,  We’re aiming for $200 in new monthly donations by midnight tonight! This will let us budget for hiring essential new team members in field and comms.

Phew!

Hi John,  Phew! I just got off a livestream with Marianne Williamson, Katie Halper, Briahna Joy Gray, Krystal Ball, and Julianna Forlano. I was one of a slate of non-corporate candidates being interviewed as part of a fundraiser for Marianne’s endorsed candidates. It’s so wonderful to be part of a …

Here’s what I think

Hi John,   The US needs to stop meddling overseas and get our own house in order. Hunger, homelessness, deaths from lack of healthcare, poverty: these are massive problems we should focus on. Do you agree? Please chip in $7 now to help me win, so I can fight for that vi…

GoFundMe is not a healthcare plan

Hi John,   Did you know that 300,000 people died of Covid because they didn’t have health insurance? Their deaths were a policy choice.   We need Medicare for All — now more than ever. GoFundMe is not a healthcare plan.   I am the only candidate in my race who supports …

Quick request

Wow, this was really something

Hi John,   If I were in Congress, I’d be trying to bail out the working class during the pandemic, not lobbyists. I’m a working-class candidate without corporate donors, so can you support my campaign with a small donation today?   In spring 2020 at the beginning of the…

Half a century wasn’t enough time?

Hi John,   Today is the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which provided the right to choose. Now Republicans have effectively ended it.   Which begs the question: why didn’t Democrats codify Roe v. Wade into federal law at any point in the last 49 years? Half a century …

Hi John,   20 years ago today, the first 20 prisoners arrived at Guantánamo Bay. To this day, none of them have ever been charged in the 9/11 attacks — a microcosm of the lawlessness of U.S. foreign policy.   Our country’s foreign policy has caused untold suffering acro…
