Trump is leading… we need you

Hi John,  The Republican Convention wrapped up last night, and we have just one thing to say: We must defeat Donald Trump this November.  Here’s the truth: Behind the pageantry, stagecraft, and nice-sounding speeches (besides Trump’s — what was that?!) is an extreme agenda that wants to fundamental…

What we’ve learned from the GOP Convention so far

Hi John,  We’ve been watching the Republican National Convention – it’s been both shocking yet unsurprising.   If you haven’t been tuning in, good for you, and congratulations — we did, so you don’t have to. Here’s what you’ve missed: The Republican Party is devoted to Donald Trump’s regressive age…

Project 2025 is no joke…

Hi John,  The Republican National Convention is underway, and we wanted to tell you a bit about their Project 2025 agenda.  The Heritage Foundation, an ultra-right-wing think tank assembled a 920-page agenda to alter this country fundamentally by making the President a quasi-dictator, gutting democ…

BREAKING: Trump chooses anti-abortion extremist for VP

John - Donald Trump has selected J.D. Vance to be his running mate. As you likely already know, J.D. Vance represents the extreme ideological right of the current Republican Party.   Vance has called Donald Trump’s Project 2025 Agenda, which promises more restrictions on abortion, a shuttering of …

Our only chance of ousting Lauren Boebert from Congress

Hi John,   I’m Trisha Calvarese and I’m the newly elected Democratic nominee, running against Lauren Boebert in CO-04.

Insurrectionists don’t belong in Congress

John,   In 2022, Lauren Boebert won her race in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District by just 546 votes.  Then, when it became clear that voters in CO-03 were sick of her extremism and attention-seeking antics, she switched districts. The Republicans had a chance to learn from their Boebert mistake…

Trump is guilty and the stakes have never been higher for our democracy

John,  The jury has just convicted Donald Trump on ALL 34 felony counts charged against him.  We cannot understate the extraordinary and historic nature of this trial.

What to know about Greg Lopez, GOP candidate in CD4.

CO-04 deserves better than Greg Lopez and Lauren Boebert Hi John, When Representative Ken Buck decided to step down, the Colorado Republican Party chose Greg Lopez to be their nominee for CO-04 in Congress – a man with a well-documented history of skirting the law and run-ins with police.  Greg, who…

John — with just over a month until Coloradans vote in the primary, Lauren Boebert just launched a new desperate attack against Democrat Jason Crow in CO-06.
