I only get ONE chance

      John, I hate to ask, but I’ll be fast: I’m just 14 hours away from my very first End of Quarter Deadline, and I’m still $1,504 short of my goal. This is my first public deadline since launching my campaign — and my first chance to show everyone in DC and nationwide…

Bacon DOOMED

I’ve been in politics for ages, so trust me when I say:       EARTH TO John!!! It’s Paul Begala. You’ve heard from some major VIPs: — Bob Kerrey — Ted Lieu — And me! So you can bet this is the most important email you’ll EVER receive. I’ll tell it to you straight: Taking…

Please read (don’t delete)

John, I know a thing or two about tough races.       I’m proud to support Tony in his race for Congress. Will you join me in supporting him by chipping in $15 before his FIRST End of Quarter Deadline? Chip in $15 now. >> John, electing a Democrat to rep…

my friend Tony

Why I’m supporting Tony Vargas       John, I only reach out when it’s absolutely critical — so hear me when I say: Top Democrats and I are banding together today to raise Tony Vargas $3,000 in his race to defeat Don Bacon and flip Nebraska blue. I know Tony will …

Daily Kos just reported

      Daily Kos: Don Bacon one of the "most at-risk" Republicans in the entire country John, I need your eyes on this. Daily Kos just reported that Don Bacon is one of the most vulnerable Republicans ANYWHERE in the country. I came within 5,800 votes of uns…

NBC News just revealed:

      BREAKING: Don Bacon stands with Kevin McCarthy on impeaching President Biden John, I just got distressing news. Don Bacon just told NBC News that he’s ready to move forward with IMPEACHING President Biden. He’s once again proving where his loyalties lie — and it’s …

The first contribution you've made to this campaign, John

      John — I want you to know how important you are to this campaign. When I think about my most important supporters, I don’t think about the ones who cut the biggest checks. I think about the ones who have been with me from the start. I think about the ones who gave …

Thanks in advance

      John, I’m about to explain why I’m asking for your first gift of $15 to my campaign. Your support would mean the world to me as I fight to take down Don Bacon and his special interest friends — and I’d love it if you read this whole email. But if you’re short …

Bacon REFUSES to rule out impeachment!

      John, I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Don Bacon just refused to rule out IMPEACHING President Biden and SHUTTING DOWN the government. I’ll repeat that: Bacon may claim to be a moderate — but he just stood with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kevin McCarthy, and the MAG…

my heart just sank, John

      John, I received an emergency phone call that made my heart sink. Kevin McCarthy jetted into Nebraska -- mere days after I launched my campaign -- to pick up a massive campaign check and swiftly sabotage my chances of unseating Don Bacon. I’ll repeat that: Unless I…

not asking for money

      John, I just launched my campaign for Congress -- and what I need right now more than anything is your personal endorsement. In a race this close, I need to know my strongest supporters are behind me. BEFORE MIDNIGHT: I’m personally asking you to be one of the …

Don Bacon will say anything

      I can hardly believe what I’m hearing, John. FIRST: Bacon voted AGAINST President Biden’s bill to bring good-paying jobs to Nebraska. BUT NOW: He’s taking credit for thousands of manufacturing jobs — the same ones he voted to kill. I’ll be straightforward with you:…

Bacon REVEALED on Social Security

as of 10am:

      John, I need to make this perfectly clear: — Don Bacon has been funneled more than $1.4 MILLION to cling to power. — He has an army of Corporate CEOs ready to funnel even more cash to his campaign. — I need to hit my End of Month fundraising goal before midnight to…

I need the resources to fight back

Don Bacon just raked in $700,000 from far-right groups in the last few months alone. Let me repeat that, John: Bacon is only looking out for corporate CEO’s and party bosses — not Nebraska families.       John, I need your eyes on this. Don Bacon just raked in $…

As a former teacher
