An opportunity we can’t pass up

John, it’s Paul Eaton. Hope you’re doing well. I’m checking in to see if you’ll be watching tomorrow’s debate. We know Trump’s not going to be on stage — spending some time with Tucker Carlson instead. Now, to me, watching either sounds about as much fun as a root canal. So I’ve got a propo…

We can run up the score

You probably already know about the Republican Debate this Wednesday. We’re looking forward to it as much as you are — which is to say, not at all. Before it happens, we have an urgent request: We need to ask you to make a donation to VoteVets. If that’s all you need to hear, click the link …

You're going to want to read this.

Another poll dropped Winning campaigns is an art and a science, John. This email is about the science. Polls aren't perfect. Believe us, we know. But they're still one of the best ways we have to figure out what's important to people. We wrote to you a few days ago about a poll that showed v…

Are you serious?

Senator Sinema: You don’t negotiate with people like this. John - Yesterday, some audio of Kyrsten Sinema was released. In it, she encouraged the White House and Tommy Tuberville to compromise on the hold on Military promotions that Tuberville is waging. Find some middle ground. …Are you se…

Rick Scott

A message to the GOP: We’re coming for you. John, We just released a new ad hitting Florida Senator Rick Scott for allowing Tommy Tuberville’s blockade on senior military promotions to continue. Watch it here: It’s running for two weeks in Florida, part of our full court press to hold the GO…

It’s easy to forget how serious this is

John, Yesterday it became clear that Trump would be indicted for his efforts to defraud the voters of Georgia and steal the election in 2020. After all of these indictments, it’s getting hard to keep them all straight. And with so many now, it’s easy to forget how serious this is. We can’t …

This is actually unprecedented

Today, the Chief of Naval Operations mustered out with no replacement. In politics, people throw around the word “unprecedented” all the time. But today, something really unprecedented actually happened. For the first time in the history of the United States, THREE of our Military branches a…

One Percent of VoteVets Supporters

Alabama has turned against Tommy Tuberville

That’s huge. Really. And it’s because of you. John, When we first started talking about Tommy Tuberville and his hold on promotions it wasn’t a big story. National news wasn’t covering it much, and it wasn’t getting much attention in the Capitol. But we kept at it, because we knew it was impor…

POLL: Majority of Alabama voters oppose Tuberville’s hold

58% of Alabama voters think that Tuberville has made his point and should allow the promotions to move forward John, some important news for you today. A few weeks ago Tommy Tuberville said that if the people of Alabama turned against him over his blockade of promotions, he might consider back…

We name our Military Bases after Patriots

A bunch of losers are upset about that. Let’s show them what we think. Hey there John, A long overdue change is happening. For way, way too long a ton of our most important Military Bases were named after Confederates. Now, they’ll be named after patriots and patriotic values. And surprise,…

The United States Army has no Chief of Staff

Guy’s got some ego

After 20 years of war, these holds are a slap in the face to our Military, and Military Families. John: We’ll say this about Tommy Tuberville. Guy’s got some ego. The Marines have no Commandant. By the end of the month, the Army and Navy will also be without their top officers. There are hun…

This isn’t a Republican or Democratic Issue

One place we should always come together is making sure our Military is supported. John — Our newest ad hitting Tommy Tuberville is running on TV in Alabama. It’s from a Veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he lives in Alabama. But one thing we didn’t say in the ad is that this V…

Live In Alabama: The Next VoteVets Ad

bad enough

In 2020 Tuberville promised to donate his entire salary to Veterans. Best we can tell, he hasn’t. As if it wasn’t bad enough that Tommy Tuberville is crippling the command structure of the world’s strongest Military. As if it wasn’t bad enough that he’s doing it to restrict health care acces…

Tuberville had months to find Veterans

Thanks to you, we doubled his number in 48 hours. We’re really proud today, John. On Tuesday, Tuberville pushed out a pretty weak story about how he found 5,000 Veterans who support his blockade of senior Military promotions. We figured we could beat his number pretty easily, so we came to y…
