There’s more to do

  John,   Yesterday President Biden signed the CHIPS and Science Act into law. And I’m grateful to have been successful in securing an important provision in the bill that ensures HBCUs can access grant money, so that we can diversify and strengthen our workforce while funding …

How to best reform the Supreme Court?

  Hey John –    As Chair of the Courts Subcommittee, Hank is working overtime to hold the Supreme Court accountable and championing reforms to stop the court from attacking Americans’ rights. The Supreme Court is its own worst enemy, as its ultraconservative political rulings h…

This is getting embarrassing for Georgia...

  John –   Last week Hank voted to pass the CHIPS and Science Act to bolster US semiconductor manufacturing and create more opportunities for high-tech jobs in America. Included in the bill was Hank’s Cybersecurity Opportunity Act, ensuring that grant funds will go to HBCUs and…

Term limits for justices? Yes please!

  We need term limits for Supreme Court justices, John. And we need them now.   Hank is not letting up.   After writing the bill to expand the Supreme Court, after writing the bill to enact a mandatory code of ethics for justices, after introducing EIGHT pieces of legislation…

GOP gun laws killed 2022 Music Midtown

  John –   You may have heard about Music Midtown being canceled this year. Our annual music festival is not happening, and it’s all because The Shotgun Governor – Brian Kemp – would rather play with his guns in TV ads than take his job as governor seriously.   That’s right, t…

Protecting artistic expression

  John,    Freedom of expression is paramount. But when artists’ works are used against them, it creates a chilling effect and stifles free expression. We've seen artists face prosecution nearly 500 times where their lyrics have been used as evidence against them in court.   …

Hi John,   My wife Mereda just reminded me that the month will be over in a few hours. I’d be grateful if you can help us make our end-of-month grassroots fundraising goal. That’s all I’ll say about the deadline.   But I will tell you that I’m encouraged by the grassroots work that’s been goin…

101 days

  We have 101 days until the election, John.   Why are we sending this? It’s not just to separate ourselves from the other emails you’ll receive tomorrow about being 100 days out from the election. It’s because polling here in Georgia is so close, that we need to add another day…

Filling in for Hank today!

  Hi there, John –    It’s Mereda, and I’m sending you this message on behalf of my husband Hank because – well, he’s not home at the moment. Hank and I both have busy jobs, but I have to tell you, this has been a particularly busy month for him.   In fact, his time has been …

These attacks are quite the validation...

Don’t let the doldrums of summer take over

  John,   We’re coming up on the end of July, and that means we’re more than halfway through the hottest days of summer. But we’re headed into a long and hot August.   It’s easy to get complacent in these late summer days. It’s easy to put off the hard work until the kids go …

A little story about my boss

  We know about heat and humidity in our neck of the woods, John.   But when I was watching Hank's DC court expansion press conference on TV last week (the same one Breitbart attacked him for), I could tell the heat was getting to everyone.   I could also tell that there was…

Just do it.

  John,    Last week in the Judiciary Committee, we voted to advance the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act and a new Assault Weapons Ban. We have to ban the deadly weapons of war that have been used in mass shooting after mass shooting.   It was hard to …

The Doctor of Oz

  In Georgia, we know a little something about out-of-state MAGA Republicans coming in and trying to tell us how to run the show. They tried to thwart the will of Georgia voters in 2020.   Now, in another important battleground state, MAGA Republicans are again working to deceiv…

Steve Bannon is pretty much the Joker

  John –    Everywhere he goes, Steve Bannon sows chaos.   He prides himself on it.   Just look at his offer this week to publicly testify before the January 6th Committee. While he no doubt has information the Committee deserves and has sought, Bannon wants to testify publi…

We have to change things up a bit

An email about a single sentence

John,   Even after a judge ordered Sen. Lindsey Graham (MAGA Republican – SC) to comply with a subpoena and testify before the Georgia grand jury investigating Trump’s attempted overturning of the election in Georgia, Lindsey refuses to cooperate.   In fact, he had the gall to…

If we fall, Georgia falls.

No more dancing around.

  John,   It’s time to reform the federal judiciary, starting with the Supreme Court. We’ve had enough of the attacks on Americans’ rights.   Women are under attack. LGBTQ+ Americans are under attack. Black and Brown voters are under attack. The culprit? The very institution…

"This is not a game."

Independence is taking on a new meaning

Hi John, and thank you

Hi John,   Hank here, checking in real quickly. I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the support you’ve shown me.   If you haven’t donated yet, I’d humbly ask you to make a contribution tonight if you can. I’m told we’re still about $800 short. For a grassroots campaign like our…

Not just for Hank, for Georgia

  John –   We’re still a little over $1,600 shy of our quarterly goal. BUT, Hank knows that there’s so much more at stake this year than his own reelection. So he’s asked us to split the proceeds of this email three ways, so that we can help out Stacey Abrams and Rev. Warnock i…

Not giving up takes courage

  John,   This has been a rough week. The conservative majority on the Supreme Court has upended our way of life. They overturned Roe v. Wade, plunging our nation into uncertainty and turning back the clock on reproductive rights by half a century. They invalidated common-se…

June 24, 2022 at 6:25 PM

This isn't over.

  I'll keep this short, John.   The Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade.   For the first time in our nation’s history, the court has taken away a fundamental right.   If you’re angry, if you’re scared, if you’re worried about what comes next, know that you’re not alo…

Love is love, and pride is pride, no matter what happens.

  John,   As we celebrate Pride Month, it’s easy to be a bit wary. After all, the Supreme Court has signaled that its sights are set on marriage equality.   It wasn’t that long ago that the Supreme Court affirmed in Obergefell v. Hodges that Americans could marry whomever the…
