We can’t afford to fall short, John

We have 2 full days left

I’ve had enough of this, John. I’m sick of Republican leadership ignoring their duty to the American people so they can spend their time playing political games to please Donald Trump and give their donors huge tax breaks.   We’re less than two days away from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) …

We need all hands on deck
