Early voting starts in 3 days, and there’s one goal we have to meet before ballots are cast

Hi John – Team Roth here with a quick status update.   David shared with you yesterday that we’re facing an epidemic of our signs being stolen. Up until now, yard signs have been one of our most effective means of spreading the word about David’s campaign…

Our signs keep “disappearing” 🤔

They can steal our signs but they can’t silence our movement for change in Idaho. John – Our grassroots campaign is really catching fire, and it clearly has the other side rattled.   We’re facing an epidemic of our extremely-popular pride-flag signs being …

Biden’s call to action

The president is counting on us, and so are millions of our fellow Americans. John – Last night, President Biden spoke to the nation about abortion rights, and he issued a clear call to action:   Elect more Democratic Senators and hold the House majority, …

The GOP plot to eliminate Social Security

Their plans are all out in the open. It’s up to us to stop them. John – You know I’ve been sounding the alarm on Republicans’ plans to gut Social Security and Medicare for some time.   This is no idle threat. They’ve already got the legislation drawn up, t…

What makes our campaign different

I made the decision not to take corporate PAC money or buddy up to lobbyists and other special interests from day one of this campaign, because I refuse to be bought off. Hi John,   The other day I reached out to you with an important fundraising goal, a b…

Even “red state” voters want healthcare for everyone

John – One of the most important provisions of the 2010 Affordable Care Act is the Medicaid Expansion program.   Simply put, Medicaid expansion allocates federal funds to give medical insurance coverage to people who would otherwise fall through the crack…

A brief but urgent request

Hi John,   We have less than two weeks until early voting begins here in Idaho, and there are some key communities our canvassing volunteers still need to reach.   We want to make sure voters know about our campaign to flip this U.S. Senate seat, and I ne…

Something interesting I’ve noticed

John – I’ve noticed a trend in recent days, I wonder if you see it, too.   In our recent debate, my opponent balked when I pointed out the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates the Trump Tax Cuts, which he STILL defends, will add at least $1.9 trill…

Senate Republicans come after Medicare AGAIN

We can flip this U.S. Senate seat

Hi John – We’re checking in with a super quick fundraising update and to ask for your support.   First, let us explain why this race is so important.   Idaho hasn’t elected a Democratic senator in over 40 years, but it’s not because there aren’t any Democ…

Shocking: Idaho teachers make as little as $14 an hour!

John,   Today is World Teachers Day, a good time to reflect on the state of American education – and the teachers who make that education possible despite all the obstacles and hardships placed on them.   It probably isn’t news to you that teachers in Ame…

Debate: Where and when to watch

Exciting news, John – last night we passed our $20,000 pre-debate fundraising goal!   So my team and I just bumped up the goal to $25,000. Can you pitch in now to help us reach our new target and show the strength of our grassroots campaign before the deb…

Crapo turned his back on our veterans

Actions speak louder than words, John, and my opponent is spending big money on ads full of empty words and broken promises.   Recently, Republican Senator Mike Crapo began running ads touting his support of veterans. But his record in the Senate tells a …

Amazing!

My jaw just hit the floor. John – I almost can’t believe it. Yesterday I shared that we were more than $8,700 short of our end of quarter fundraising goal.   But after so many of you stepped up yesterday, we’ve got that gap all the way down to $5,890! I on…
