Can I explain?

  Folks, In just a moment, I’m going to ask you to add a contribution to help us reach our critical mid-month fundraising goal in two days. But before I do, I’d like to briefly explain why I need your support right now. Our Democratic majority in Congress has been working hard to undo…
