One of the GOP’s top targets

  John, I want to talk to you about my good friend Carolyn Bourdeaux. She represents Georgia’s 7th district in Congress, but she’s one of the GOP’s top targets for the midterm elections. She’s the first Democrat to represent her district in 25 years, and her last election was t…

Trump has $100 million

  Hi John, we have some bad news... According to filings just last week, Donald Trump’s political committees brought in $82 million in the first half of 2021, and have over $100 million in the bank. Never in history has a former president raised even close to this much money. It …

They can’t win voters, so they’re doing this instead

  John, I’ll be frank: Republicans are pissed off that we flipped Georgia blue last November and again in January during the Senate runoffs, and they don’t want it to happen again.  Their plan isn’t to win more votes this time around, it’s to redraw district lines to tip the sc…

No one is above the law

  John, Did you know that thousands of workers in our federal judiciary system aren’t protected from harassment, discrimination, or other forms of misconduct? Those who adjudicate our laws shouldn’t be above them, which is why I introduced the Judiciary Accountability Act. The b…

I noticed something

Hi John, I was going through some of our numbers, and I noticed that you missed our last fundraising deadline that just passed. I know you’re a big supporter of Hank, and so I wanted to give you the opportunity to make a recurring donation to his cause as Republicans try to gerry…

Thank you

  Hi John, I wanted to send a quick thank you. My campaign team told me over the weekend that we met our fundraising goal for July. This was a big month to hit our numbers, and we did it together. This year has been a whirlwind for everyone, and Congress is no different. We’ve b…

Just a few hours left

Hey John, This is Hank’s campaign manager, Carole. We’re so close to meeting our fundraising goal for July, but we just have a few hours left until midnight. I’m emailing our core group of supporters who I know I can count on. Will you contribute $5 before midnight tonight so we can reach our goa…

A favor to ask

  Hi John, I have a quick favor to ask of you. I checked with my campaign manager this morning, and she told me that we're close, but we still haven't yet reached our fundraising goal for July. As one of my biggest supporters, I'm hoping I can count on you to get us over the fini…

I won’t stop

they’re killing people

84 hours a week with no days off

  John, Frito-Lay plant workers in Topeka, Kansas are striking this week. Many of the workers there have been forced to work 84 hours a week with no days off. Some workers haven't had a single day off in five months, including Saturdays and Sundays.  If Republicans get their way,…

What Republicans don't want to talk about

Hi John, It’s the same GOP playbook we’re used to. They know the public doesn’t side with them, so they change the subject. First it was the border, now it’s critical race theory. Republicans won’t engage with popular legislation passed by Democrats, so they try to drum up issues…

sea of red

I was arrested yesterday

  Hi John — I got arrested yesterday. Let me tell you why. For all but the last 56 years of our nation’s history, Black people have been denied the right to vote. Poll taxes, literacy tests, and white primaries were devices used to prevent us from voting. When that didn’t work, w…

Marjorie Taylor Greene rolling in cash

Taking on Big Tech

John, Over the past few decades, we’ve seen Big Tech monopolize industries and consolidate their power. A lack of competition harms consumers, which is why Democrats have been hard at work to pass antitrust reforms. The latest development in this work has been passing six major bi…

“fired on the spot”

Checks and direct deposits in pockets

“Man it’s a hot one, like seven inches from the midday sun...”

Republicans control redistricting

  Hey John — did you see the news out of Politico? It’s nothing we didn’t already know, but the right-wing efforts to disenfranchise our communities are intensifying. They’d rather break neighborhoods apart and strip access to the ballot box than listen to address their constituen…

Republicans and White Supremacists

Donald Trump caused long-lasting harm to America in many ways, including the normalization of white supremacy in the Republican party. His success has led others in the GOP to embrace racism and nationalism. Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar has spoken at conferences and was advertised as at…
