Fwd: My opponent just expanded her advertising

Hey John - Hank here. Last weekend I shared with you about how my opponent was spreading her pro-Trump campaign message across the district with billboards. Well, she just announced on a local radio program that she’ll be putting up even more billboards this week. Will you chip in a…

Supreme Court + Healthcare

John, I am sad to report that the process to confirm Trump’s nominee to succeed Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Amy Coney Barrett, to the Supreme Court continues in the Senate. This is just the latest move in the Federalist Society’s chess game to secure a conservative majority on the nation’…

David Perdue crossed a line. BIG TIME.

John, With less than two weeks until the election, rallies and events are happening all across the country as surrogates for Joe Biden and Donald Trump rally around their chosen candidate. At a Trump rally in Georgia last week, Senator David Perdue made racist comments about Senator…

uh, Trump is “tired” of Dr. Fauci

John, Trump has finally reached his breaking point with the coronavirus pandemic. He told a team of advisors earlier this week that, “people are tired of hearing Fauci and these idiots.” He called Dr. Fauci, the federal government’s leading infectious disease expert, a “disaster” a…

Rev. Warnock can win, but he needs our help

John, This year, Georgia has not just one, but TWO competitive races for US Senate. And the polling has never looked more promising for Democrats. Jon Ossoff is trending up against David Perdue, but we can’t forget about Raphael Warnock in this year’s special election! According to …

Trump is coming to stop Jon Ossoff from winning

  Hey John — Polls continue to show that the race between Jon Ossoff and David Perdue is razor close! And guess what? Perdue is bringing in the cavalry to help him. Donald Trump is coming to Georgia today to help spread lies about Jon and the election. Can you make a contributio…

Trump is coming

  Hey John — I’ll make this quick. Donald Trump is coming to Georgia tomorrow. He is holding one of his irresponsible, circus-like mega rallies at 7pm. We need to make sure we have the resources to respond to every lie that Trump tells to undecided voters while in Georgia. Will …

One of the top swing seats is right next door...

  John, My dear friend Carolyn Bourdeaux is running in Georgia’s 7th district, and she’s trying to flip this seat blue — but she needs our help! Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball and Cook Political Report rate this race as leaning Democratic, which means Carolyn is on the cusp of winni…

Ilhan Omar is under attack

  John — Ilhan Omar is under attack. She’s long been a favorite target for conservatives — from President Trump’s calls to “lock her up” at a Minnesota rally, to Hank’s opponent Johsie Cruz, who wants to reopen the House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate Rep. Omar. …

Lindsey Graham CRYING

ICE’s private detention centers must close

  John, I’ll be straightforward with you: private ICE detention centers need to close. The entire for-profit prison industry is morally corrupt. Private, for-profit detention centers exist to profit off the misery of their detainees. And the stories coming out of ICE detention fac…

This far-right organization has held our courts under siege - now they are poised to conquer them

  Many Americans are understandably in shock as Donald Trump is poised to appoint a far-right jurist to replace the legendary Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. But this isn’t a surprise, John, this is the fruition of a plan that has been long in the making. Let me explain. …

Trump paid less in taxes than you and me

  John, This bombshell report from The New York Times proves what we already knew: Donald Trump is a liar, a cheat, and a fraud. He’s not a billionaire. He’s deep into debt — over $400 million dollars — and paid nothing, or as little as $750 in federal income taxes. Average Americ…

Several top DOJ official refuse to testify because I was too mean to William Barr

Will you stop Trump from stealing the election?

Hank’s opponent says she’s “just like Trump”

We will honor her legacy by continuing the struggle for a more perfect union.

New report: Trump hates our veterans.
