They have no idea how to govern

  Hi John,   Hank’s wife Mereda here. I want to thank you for the outpouring of support you showed after my last email to you.   Watching the U.S. House this month, one thing has become totally clear: Republicans really don’t know how to govern. They seem to think it’s all …

Making Fox News eat their words...

Hey John,   Hank emailed you a little while ago about Fox News publishing a hit piece on him. They literally combed through 16+ years of Hank’s public service to try to discredit him with lies and half-truths!     We need your help to take the fight to Fox News. Chip in now …

Hello John,   You may have already seen the long and comprehensive hit piece that FAUX News put out on me today. Some of it is accurate, but some of it is misleading (like the edited “Guam” video), and some of is dead wrong (I never called Jewish settlers “termites”). This hit piece has been …

Playing with fire

John,   Republicans are holding our economy hostage.   Right now, the House GOP is refusing to raise the debt ceiling, even after the country has exceeded its debt limit.   That’s right. The so-called “party of fiscal responsibility” doesn’t think America should honor its fi…

John, what does the word “woke” mean to you?   To hear Republicans use the word, it sounds like they're talking about some disease or an enemy on a battlefield. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis likes to say, “Florida is where woke goes to die.”   But to me, woke means redemption, forg…
