Why is this so important to us?

Never again.

Watch this. Watch. 🇺🇸 Wait ... Before you go! 🇺🇸 VoteVets is one of the largest spending and most effective outside organizations supporting Democrats in this election. We can reach Independent and moderate swing voters other organizations can't. If re-electing Joe Biden and a Democratic Hou…

Increased importance

According to a Time Magazine interview with Donald Trump, he said whether or not there is political violence after November, "depends on the fairness of an election." John, The reason we ask for donations is because VoteVets is the most effective outside spending organization on the Democratic…

Who do you want to show up when you need help?

"VoteVets is one of the few orgs that can move the needle among key voting blocks in districts/states democrats need to win." John, If you believe, like we do, that one of the most important things that can happen in 2024 is winning large and sweeping victories for Democrats across the country…

The stormy present

"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present.” John, There is absolutely nothing more important than making sure Democrats win a large and sweeping victory this fall — from the presidency, the Senate, the House, state legislatures and all the way down to local offices. We…

Sharing something totally unprecedented

These are the results of an ad we tested for a key Senate race (can’t say which, sorry). John, Hopefully this can convince you to make your first donation to VoteVets as we get closer to the first votes being cast in this election. These are the results of an ad we tested in a recent Senate ra…

Nate Silver and Rachel Maddow agree

VoteVets gets results. John, VoteVets gets results. We reach voters most Democratic organizations can’t, and we move the people we need to help Democrats WIN. That’s why Rachel Maddow said, “VoteVets punches above its weight.” That’s why Nate Silver’s 538 said, “Notably, however, Veterans endo…

Trump’s attorney says he can assassinate a political rival

We simply can’t let Trump return to office. John, VoteVets is one of the top outside spending organizations. But more than that, we are one of the most effective. We reach voters traditional Democratic organizations can’t. In short: we help win in tough places. So if you’ve been waiting for th…

Ukraine aid just passed the U.S. Senate

Trump is weak. Period.

It is our mission to ensure every American knows that Trump’s weakness would lead to more instability and conflict — even American Troops in harm’s way. John, Donald Trump isn’t just a liar, a cheat, a fraud, or a failure. He’s weak. Watch our newest video, “WEAK” If Trump got his way, Puti…

Tough call

Public service is a position of public trust. A Veteran like Tim Sheehy should know that. John, we don’t make a decision to drop $200,000 in digital ads lightly. It’s a lot of money. It takes a lot of supporters to raise that much, and these emails are one of the single biggest sources of dona…

This is the cost of Republican inaction
