Climate Change: A Chance to Take Action

  John, Climate change is one of the most critical threats facing both our country and our world. Not only is it an environmental issue, but it is also a serious threat to our national security. Earlier this year, Abigail voted to pass the Climate Action Now Act – a bill that she helped …

The RNC is coming after us

  John, First, we found out about the online ads a few days ago. I hate to say this, but now, the RNC is attacking Abigail on TV. John, Washington Republicans are making a full-court press and we need to fight back. DONATE: STAND UP TO ATTACKS Even though …

RE: They are attacking me for defending the constitution

  John, Here it is. The National Republican Congressional Committee has officially launched ads against Abigail for defending the Constitution. It’s crystal clear: Washington Republicans will do whatever they can to defeat Abigail – even when she is standing up for our national securit…

They are attacking me for defending the Constitution

John, Last week, I joined six colleagues to write an op-ed explaining why we find the newest allegations against the president a national security threat, and if true, an impeachable offense. Congress must use every authority it has to investigate these allegations, to prove or disprove the…

My oath

John, As a member of Congress, I swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. I have had the honor to do so two other times: first as a federal agent and again as a CIA case officer. It is for this reason that I authored an op-ed, which ran last night in the Washington Post, with six …
