this is what it's come to

  John, Donald Trump proved that words matter, especially when they come from an elected official. His use of racist and offensive language against people of color, women, and other communities divided our country and led to an increase in hate crimes during his tenure.     T…

Hank’s work

  John, Hank is doing the work to reform our courts and make them work for average people.    In recent weeks and months we’ve seen how much power the Supreme Court has. The right to an abortion as we know it could be dismantled by a new conservative supermajority on the court.…

We can elect Stacey Abrams

  John, Georgia deserves a Governor who will work for the people, not the wealthy few. We’ve spent years under Governor. Kemp struggling because he and his administration refuse to make real progress for the people in our state.    We can change that by electing Stacey Abrams g…

Our single largest climate action

  John, Last month Hank voted to pass the Build Back Better Act in the House of Representatives, taking a significant step toward the most significant clean energy investment in America’s history.   Analysts say this bill could lower our country’s greenhouse gas pollution by ab…

progress

  John, As we near the end of the year, our team is reflecting on some of our most important accomplishments of 2021.   When you gave Democrats control of Congress and the White House, we got right to work: passing critical COVID-19 relief and ensuring the wide availability of …

RNC paying for Trump’s lawyers

  John, We knew that the GOP was loyal to Donald Trump, but we didn’t know they would go this far. The Republican National Committee (RNC) has already spent over $100,000 to pay for private legal representation that Trump can use as New York state investigates his shady financi…

SIGN ON: Demand voting rights reform

  Hi John,     Voting is the foundational right to all other rights. But Big Lie Republicans have been doing their very best to pass laws restricting the right to vote of folks they don’t think will support them.    Republican legislators around the country have been passin…

Racism in our courts

  John, Federal judges have an immense amount of work to get through every year, which means they turn to their clerks to do the bulk of the research and even draft opinions. This means that clerks — who aren’t elected — have an incredible influence on the court system.   Tha…

This case is the greatest threat to abortion

  John, The Supreme Court held 49 years ago in Roe v. Wade that a woman’s right to control her body and health was a constitutionally protected right. And for 49 years Republicans have fought tooth and nail to deny freedom to women to make this basic and personal health care d…

for you

Hi John, Wanted to check in about our fundraising for the month. We’re a bit behind where we need to be and I’m concerned about approaching the end of the year looking weak. Republicans are targeting Georgia and who knows what kind of campaign I’ll have to go against.   If you could support my c…

slump

  John, November and December are always tough holidays to fundraise, and tomorrow is our fundraising deadline. But don’t take our word for it, here’s the proof.      We saw a drastic drop-off in fundraising last year in November and December, but we can’t continue that …

re: I voted to pass the Build Back Better Act

Congress must honor the Freedom Riders

Breitbart attacking Hank!

  John, When Hank sees something wrong or unjust, he speaks his mind. That’s why conservatives constantly attack him.    When a top school administrator in Texas instructed teachers to use books offering “opposing” views on the Holocaust, Hank spoke up and condemned the acti…

Bannon is not above the law

GOP coming after Lucy McBath

  Republicans are coming after Democrats in Georgia, John. They just released new proposed congressional district maps, which redraw Rep. Lucy McBath’s district into solidly-Trump territory. Her new district voted for Trump with 57.8% of the vote in 2020. This is a clear at…

it’s done

quick check in

Hi John, wanted to quickly check in. I went over our fundraising numbers last night, and unfortunately we aren’t on track to meet our fundraising goal for this month. 2022 is right around the corner, and Republicans in Georgia are gearing up to elect Trump’s handpicked candidates up and down the b…

no code of ethics

ending forced arbitration

expanding the Supreme Court

We’re getting it done

  John, During the entirety of Donald Trump’s presidency, “infrastructure week” became a running joke. It was supposed to be one of his signature issues. He promised to deliver during his campaign, but it never materialized during his presidency.    But President Joe Biden an…

One year out

  Hi John, We’re officially one year out from the midterm elections. Republicans are gunning to beat Democrats and flip control of Congress next year. That means tax cuts for the rich instead of climate action, abortion rights, or gun violence prevention. Now that we’re less tha…

they just elected domestic terrorists

RATINGS CHANGE: GA TOSS-UP

  John, In the wake of the GOP victories in Virginia, the election experts at Sabato’s Crystal Ball have downgraded Rev. Warnock’s Senate race in Georgia from “Leans Democrat” to “Toss-up.” He’s in danger of losing his seat we fought so hard to win. We can’t let that happen.  …

we could be next

  John, Democrats lost big in Virginia this week, there’s no way to sugarcoat it. All three statewide Democrats lost, and the House of Delegates looks like it will flip from blue to red.     This is a wakeup call for the rest of us, and election expert Dave Wasserman summed i…

I could use some help

Hi John, I’ll get right to the point. Tomorrow is the last day of the month, and I could use some help in reaching our fundraising goal.    This has been a long month: Congress has been working around the clock to implement real change before the end of the year comes and elections start to take…

They want to make Georgia Democrats extinct

I didn’t get arrested for nothing
