I need your help

  I wanted to send you a quick note about our FEC deadline, John. Every political group and candidate is about to report all of their fundraising for the last three months to the FEC. Believe me when I say that Republicans and their dark money donors will be tearing through our fundra…

Trump’s recall election lies

  John, We did it. We defeated the recall of Gavin Newsom. Your activism, your support, and your dedication played a huge part in this victory. But our work is far from over. The same forces at work who led this failed Republican recall in California are the ones subverting and threat…

Republicans are no longer committed to democracy

  John, Republicans in Congress are no longer committed to democracy. In fact, many of them are doing everything in their power to subvert it. They know the majority of Americans don’t support the hateful, conspiratorial, and authoritarian views that emanate from the undisputed leader…

Did you see Gavin Newsom’s final message before the recall?

  John — We have 5 days to tell every Californian to Vote NO on the Republican-led recall. Trump says the recall is "probably rigged." The leading Republican is still spreading election lies about 2020, and even anti-vaccine messages. This is serious — everything is on the line right …

Please give me one last chance to explain

  John — In just a moment, and for the last time, I am going to ask you to make a contribution to help me defeat this Republican-led recall attempt in California. Please give me a chance to explain why this request – especially today – is so important. Here is the truth: 6 days from …

Checking in, John

  We have an important month ahead of us, John. The Senate will vote on key bills including the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. These vital bills are our best hope at halting the wave of Jim Crow voter suppression laws passed by Republican-controll…

re: Texas abortion ban

  John, The Supreme Court’s right-wing majority just refused to block Texas’s unconscionable new law that bans abortion after only 6 weeks — a stage when most women don’t yet know they are pregnant. It’s unconscionable. In just a moment, I’m going to tell you how you can help in Texas…

re: Tucker Carlson last night

  John — It wasn’t so long ago that people who believed in and advocated crazy or dangerous conspiracy theories were called “crackpots,” but in 2021, they go by different names — GOP congresswoman, and Fox News host. Last night, two of them, Tucker Carlson and QAnon conspiracy theoris…

reaching out

  I wanted to send you a quick note, John. We’re only a few hours away from midnight and our end-of-month fundraising deadline. If everyone reading this email pitched in a few dollars, we will not only achieve our goal but surpass it. And at a time when the GOP is smashing fundraising…

Here’s why tonight’s deadline matters

  John, Our end-of-month deadline is less than 14 hours away and it’s critical that we have a strong showing of support in August. Here’s why: September is our last chance to fundraise before the third FEC deadline. We need to reach our end-of-month fundraising goal for August, so we …

We’re still behind

  John, Tomorrow’s a big day for our campaign — our August fundraising deadline. So I’ll keep this brief. Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy are raising tens of millions of dollars to take back the House and Senate — they’re outraising Democrats every single day. I’m asking, John — ca…

This is awesome.

  Hey John! We just crunched the numbers, and since you are a critical member of our team, we wanted you to be the first to know: $16. That’s the average amount people are contributing to our campaign this month. Wow. Here’s why it’s so important: These $16 donations are how we’ve bee…

re: the census

  John, This month, the Census Bureau released its 2020 data and set Republicans into a frenzy to redraw the district maps and attempt to gerrymander Democrats out of the House majority. Perhaps permanently. They see how we’ve passed the For the People Act in the House to get the corr…

A little bit more than usual

  John, I know it’s Saturday but I wouldn’t be reaching out unless it was important. So I’ll keep it brief: Our end-of-month fundraising deadline is three days away. And we aren’t where we need to be for the month fundraising-wise. Can you pitch in right now to help us make up lost gr…

219-212

Fwd: Can I please have a chance to explain?

re: saving democracy

  John, Donald Trump demonstrated that our democracy is only as strong as the people elected to preserve it. And in the case of the GOP, that meant not very strong at all. He set a dangerous new precedent for Republican lawmakers. He gave them permission to lie. To embrace conspiracie…

Marco Rubio

Yet another Louis DeJoy story

Louis DeJoy’s recent headline

If Trump runs again

  John, In Republican Party politics, money talks — and Donald Trump remains the loudest of them all. The New York Times just reported that Trump has a whopping $100 million in his campaign war chest. But we won’t waste time speculating whether he’s going to make another run at the pr…

Hey John

  Hey John — I don’t want to take much of your time, so I’ll keep this short. In just a few hours, we’ll hit the exact midway point of the FEC fundraising quarter. Republican fundraising is off the charts — $100 million for Trump, $58 million for Senate Republicans, and millions upon …

Friday the 13th

A looming deadline for the next decade of our democracy

re: eviction moratorium

hey

  Hey — I’ll keep this really short. In just a few hours, we’re hitting our end of the month fundraising deadline. We’re still short and have some ground to make up. Every dollar we don’t raise is a dollar we can’t use for efforts like helping vulnerable members of Congress, shoring u…

The crises we face.

Closing the gap

  John, This is important — House Republicans have an almost $10 million cash advantage over Democrats in the first six months of 2021 in the race for the House majority. With less than 48 hours until our end of month fundraising deadline — will you pitch in $10 right now to help clos…

Relentless.

We will remember

Nightmare

  John, as you may have seen, today was a busy day. But I’m not emailing about that. I’m emailing about the state of our democracy, and where we go from here. The GOP has fully succumbed to the takeover of their party by the former president, to his lies, and to his cult of personalit…

I wish we hadn’t been right about this:
