If you care about your neighbors, read this.

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, Across the country — and right here in Vermont — we've seen a rise in disgusting, divisive attacks against our immigrant neighbors. Whether it's Afghans rebuilding their lives or Somali families contributing to our communities, some people would rathe…

We don’t want to break the bad news…

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, I’m going to get right to the point, because the moment is too important to dance around it: We set a goal to raise $5,000 by the end of November to power Becca’s fight forward — and we came up just $764 short. Before today ends, we’re doing everythin…

Before you unplug for the long weekend…

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, I know many folks are packing up the car, grabbing last-minute ingredients at the grocery store, or settling in with friends and family for the holiday — so I’ll keep this brief. As part of my daily gratitude practice, I try to write a few thank-you n…

They said no one would show up. They were wrong.

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, Last week, we emailed you about Becca stepping into Republican districts and holding town halls — Stefanik’s backyard, then John James’s turf — because voters deserve the truth their own representatives refuse to say out loud. So here’s the update: Be…

Guess what I found in their “long list of ideas”?

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, I’m going to get right to it, because this one really matters. Speaker Mike Johnson recently said that Republicans “have a long list of ideas” to address health care. Well… I haven’t seen a single one. Not one. Nothing. And honestly, families in Vermo…

This secret was meant to stay buried.

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, This week, in Washington’s halls where the powerful so often dodge accountability, one clear-eyed leader is standing with the victims, not the powerful. Becca Balint refused to look away as her colleagues across the aisle debated on whether to release…

Republicans won’t face their own voters — so Becca is.

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, Becca Balint isn’t just fighting for Vermonters — she’s fighting for truth, for decency, and for every community left behind by Republican cruelty and chaos. Earlier this year, over 400 Glens Falls, NY residents showed up when Becca and her colleagues…

Courage doesn’t cave & neither do we.

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, The government shutdown may be over, but the fight for working families isn’t. While some in Washington folded, Becca Balint stood firm — voting no on any deal that cuts healthcare or raises premiums for millions of Americans. She’s made it clear: she…

The people deserve leaders who don’t cave.

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, While Senate Democrats caved to Trump and his cruel shutdown, Becca Balint stood firm. When families are staring down health insurance premiums that will double overnight, when parents are wondering how they’ll afford care for their kids, and when sen…

This isn’t business as usual any more…

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, I’ve got three words for last night: We. Did. It. Across the country, Democrats swept elections in a stunning rebuke of Donald Trump and his cruel, chaotic agenda. Voters sent a message loud and clear: we’ve had enough. Enough of politicians who use f…

Trump could stop this — but he won’t.

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, I’ve been thinking a lot about what this shutdown really means for families — not just in Washington, but in the small towns, rural communities, and city neighborhoods all across America, where people are doing their best to make ends meet. Because be…

This is what abuse of power looks like.

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, Just recently, Becca joined her colleagues on the Judiciary Committee in Chicago to witness what’s happening in communities being terrorized by ICE. Families separated. Workers taken off the street. Kids afraid to walk to school. What she saw wasn’t “…

You’ll never hear me say this:

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, you won't ever hear me say this, but I really mean it today: I am ready to go back to Washington, D.C. Vermont is home. Washington is where I work. Like all of you, I relish time spent at home with my family during the weekend.  But right now, our gov…

Day Three

Becca Balint for Vermont   John— We’re now on day three of a government shutdown.  If you’re worried, scared, or downright furious, I’m with you.  This cruelty is not normal. Donald Trump wants to use this shutdown as cover to purge civil servants in mass firings and to dismantle fed…

Republicans got us in this mess.

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, at midnight, the federal government shut down.  Let’s be clear about how we got into this mess: Right now, who holds the majority in the House? Republicans. And who holds the majority in the Senate? Republicans, again. And the White House? You’re righ…

This email is just five sentences.

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, I’ll keep this super quick.  I had to reach out one last time — my team told me we’re still a bit behind on our FEC end-of-quarter fundraising goal, and there are only a few hours left before we have to close the books. You know I hate asking, but rea…

Becca Balint for Vermont   Hi John, this is Elizabeth Wohl. I’m a lawyer, an opera singer, and Becca Balint’s wife. And writing this email is a scary thing for me! I don’t really like asking my family for money — let alone strangers. And let’s face it, if you’re like me, you get A M…

We need to turn this around

Becca Balint for Vermont     We’ll cut straight to the point: Our fundraising has fallen off. Significantly. Becca has an FEC end-of-quarter deadline coming up in just over 24 hours, and she’s counting on you to help us turn things around in this final stretch. Can you chip …

Warriors and empaths

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, there’s a lot going on right now, but one thing I want to make clear: we will not get through this moment by throwing empathy out the door. We need warriors and empaths to stand up. We need people who are willing to be loud, to be unabashed, and to fi…
