Unconscionable

John, Our election is still at risk. Tuesday night, two Michigan elections officials tried to disenfranchise over a million voters by refusing to certify the election results. Thanks to massive public pressure, their election threat was extinguished within hours – but we’re not o…

Is President Trump orchestrating a coup?

John,  Is President Trump orchestrating a coup? The experts say ‘maybe.’  Maybe!!??  In the United States of America we do not stand idly by while the President ‘might be orchestrating a coup.’ As lifelong Republican Bill Kristol said earlier this week, “Alarmism in the defense o…

Issue #1

John, Experts on both sides of the aisle warned for months that this election could undermine democracy. And while shocking and false allegations of fraud from our own President continue at this very moment, the door appears to be closing. Should the threats to our democracy esca…

Join us for an urgent call tomorrow

John — I’m writing to invite you to a “war room” meeting tomorrow, Thursday at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET to discuss President Trump’s effort to pre-emptively declare victory before the votes are counted. This is an unprecedented move by an American president — but fortunately, we’ve bee…

Trump prematurely declares victory

John,  President Trump’s preemptive declaration of victory and calls to stop the vote count due to “voter fraud” (which has been proven to not exist!) is a clear attempt to ignore the voters and steal the election. With millions of votes – both Republican and Democrat – still unc…

We remixed the iconic Hamilton anthem

Wait for it, John. We teamed up with Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton’s Aaron Burr!) to remix Hamilton anthem “Wait for It” as a PSA about how we need to be patient to get final election results. Together, we can spread the word that secure, validated election results are worth waiting …

5 ways to save the vote in this final sprint

The stakes

John, November 3rd is now just four days away – and the fate of the Republic depends on your vote. With the President spreading disinformation about mail-in votes and laying the groundwork to disregard the will of thousands of voters, we’re counting on record-breaking turnout to …

Voting Resource

John,  Here’s what we know: Lawmakers in swing states have reported that the President’s campaign has been pressuring them to consider bypassing the vote count and appointing false electors to the Electoral College.1 This is not partisan hearsay. This is on-the-record fact. And w…

Unacceptable and undemocratic

John, there’s a loophole that could be used to ignore your vote for president. And it’s widely reported that President Trump is already exploring ways to exploit it. In case you missed it: Trump’s campaign has begun pressuring lawmakers in key swing states to appoint false electo…

Picture this

Picture this, John: It’s Election Night, and millions of mail-in ballots have yet to be counted. But, under pressure from the media and the candidates, election officials in key states declare a winner in their state. This won’t just throw our Republic into chaos – it’ll prevent …

Kim Jong-un

The president refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power

John,  Yesterday, President Trump was asked if he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power. He refused to do so. In the words of Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT), for a U.S. president to say this is "unthinkable and unacceptable." Today, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution by unan…

BREAKING: Congress goes on recess without passing stimulus
